Only hope we find GOD again before it is too late ! !
My confession:
I don't like getting pushed around for being a Jew, and I don't
think Christians like getting pushed around for being Christians.
I think people who believe in God are sick and tired of getting
pushed around, period. I have no idea where the concept came
from, that America is an explicitly atheist country. I can't
find it in the Constitution and I don't like it being shoved down
my throat...
Or maybe I can put it another way: where did the idea come from
that we should worship celebrities and we aren't allowed to
worship God as we understand Him? I guess that's a sign that
I'm getting old, too. But there are a lot of us who are
wondering where these celebrities came from and where the
America we knew went to.
In light of the many jokes we send to one another for a laugh,
this is a little different: This is not intended to be a
joke; it's not funny, it's intended to get you thinking.
In light of recent events... terrorists attack, school shootings,
etc.. I think it started when Madeleine Murray O'Hare (she
was murdered, her body found a few years ago) complained she
didn't want prayer in our schools, and we said OK. 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.
Then Dr. Benjamin Spock said we shouldn't spank our children when
they misbehave, because their little personalities would be warped
and we might damage their self-esteem (Dr. Spock's son committed
suicide). We said an expert should know what he's talking
about.. And we said okay..
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.
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.'
My Best Regards, Honestly and respectfully,
