BEN: Then someone said you better not read the Bible in school. The Bible says thou shalt not kill, thou shalt not steal, and love your neighbor as yourself. And we said OK. Do you happen to remember who it was that said that you couldn't read the bible in school?
Might it have been the Supreme Court? BEN: Now we're asking ourselves why our children have no conscience, why they don't know right from wrong, and why it doesn't bother them to kill strangers, their classmates, and themselves.
BEN: Funny how simple it is for people to trash God and then wonder why the world's going to hell. Funny how we believe what the newspapers say, but question what the Bible says. BEN: Funny how lewd, crude, vulgar and obscene articles pass freely through cyberspace, but public discussion of God is suppressed in the school and workplace. Is it not possible for public discussion of God to take place outside of schools? Probably, if we think about it long and hard enough, we can figure it out.
I think it has a great deal to do with, "we reap what we sow. Funny how simple it is for people to trash God and then wonder why the world's going to hell.
Funny how we believe what the newspapers say, but question what the Bible says. Funny how you can send 'jokes' through e-mail and they spread like wildfire, but when you start sending messages regarding the Lord, people think twice about sharing. Funny how lewd, crude, vulgar and obscene articles pass freely through cyberspace, but public discussion of God is suppressed in the school and workplace.
Funny how when you forward this message, you will not send it to many on your address list because you're not sure what they believe, or what they will think of you for sending it. If not, then just discard it But if you discard this thought process, don't sit back and complain about what bad shape the world is in.
Needless-to-say, Ben, I agree. And I couldn't help but wonder if the reason why "Rudolph The Red Nose Reindeer" was removed from the evening's repertoire was because we've all become so confused by the demands placed on us to be "politically correct" that we are side stepping anything equated with religion, God or both We all say that we want "Peace On Earth," but how is there ever going to be peace if, in fact, we continue to place dividing lines between us.
Like Ben, I've never understood why someone would rebuke being wished a "Merry Christmas" or "Happy Hanukkah" even if neither holiday applies to him or his way of life. I view my intentional decision not to "mince words" or enact a "small-minded" response in these cases as a means of assisting the rest of the nation in achieving the peace we all deserve.
My commitment to the "good" of the larger whole outweighs my need to individualize myself when it comes to our nation's peace and I stand firm in this. Truth be told, I am happy to accept everybody's religious differences as well as the extent of which they believe, or disbelieve, in God. What I am not willing to accept, or adopt mind you, is being forced to live my life walking on egg shells just so that I may come across as being "perfectly politically correct.
That alone will guarantee a certain amount of future imperfection especially when it comes to sensitive topics like God and religion. Funny how you can send 'jokes' through e-mail and they spread like wildfire, but when you start sending messages regarding the Lord, people think twice about sharing. Funny how lewd, crude, vulgar and obscene articles pass freely through cyberspace, but public discussion of God is suppressed in the school and workplace.
Are you laughing yet? Funny how when you forward or share this message, you will not send it to many on your address list because you're not sure what they believe, or what they will think of you for sending it.
Funny how we can be more worried about what other people think of us than what God thinks of us. If not, then just discard it But, if you discard this thought process, don't sit back and complain about what bad shape the world is in.
