I hate this religious right-wing bullshit!

Uggg, whatever…

Yeah, lets put the blame all on society and not take responsibility for our own actions. Yeah, lets put all of our faith in something we hold to such a high standard when that standard itself is so unbelievably corrupt that God himself would be ashamed to be associated with it.

The problem isn’t the schools, these experts, or anything else in this ridiculous email.

And please, show me where this person was able to post pictures of nude children and not get in trouble for it due to free speech? I never remember this happening.

Stop blaming TV and music for the way your children act. TAKE RESPONSIBILITY FOR HOW THEY ACT because they are learning what you teach them. They are YOUR children.

        Dear Concerned Student:
        I am not allowed in schools.
        Sincerely,
        God

        How did this get started?..
        —————–
        Let’s see,
        I think it started when Madeline Murray O’Hare complained
        she didn’t want any prayer in our schools.
        And we said, OK.
        ——————
        Then, someone said you better not

        read the Bible in school,
        the Bible that says
        “thou shalt not kill,
        thou shalt not steal,
        and love your neighbors as yourself,”
        And we said, OK…
        —————–
        Dr. Benjamin Spock said
        we shouldn’t spank our children
        when they misbehaved
        because their little personalities
        would be warped and we might damage their self-esteem.
        And we said,
        an expert should know what he’s talking about
        so we won’t spank them anymore..
        ——————
        Then someone said
        teachers and principals better not
        discipline our children when they misbehave.
        And the school administrators said
        no faculty member in this school
        better touch a student when they misbehave
        because we don’t want any bad publicity,
        and we surely don’t want to be sued.
        And we accepted their reasoning…
        ——————
        Then someone said,
        let’s let our daughters have abortions if they want,
        and they won’t even have to tell their parents.
        And we said, that’s a grand idea…
        ——————
        Then some wise school board member said,
        since boys will be boys
        and they’re going to do it anyway,
        let’s give our sons all the condoms they want,
        so they can have all the fun they desire,
        and we won’t have to tell their parents they got them at school.
        And we said, that’s another great idea…
        ——————
        Then some of our top elected officials said
        it doesn’t matter what we do in private as long as we do our jobs.
        And we said,
        it doesn’t matter what anybody, including the President,
        does in private as long as we have jobs and the economy is good….
        ——————
        And someone else took that appreciation a step further
        and published pictures of nude children
        and then stepped further still by
        making them available on the Internet.
        And we said, everyone’s entitled to free speech….
        ——————
        And the entertainment industry said,
        let’s make TV shows and movies that promote
        profanity, violence and illicit sex…
        And let’s record music that encourages
        rape, drugs, murder, suicide, and satanic themes…
        And we said,
        it’s just entertainment
        and it has no adverse effect
        and nobody takes it seriously anyway,
        so go right ahead.
        ——————
        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, classmates or even themselves.
        ——————
        Undoubtedly,
        if we thought about it long and hard enough,
        we could figure it out.
        I’m sure it has a great deal to do with…
        “WE REAP WHAT WE SOW,”
        ——————
        Pass it on
        if you think it has merit!
        If not then just discard it…
        but if you discard this thought process,
        then don’t you dare sit back and complain about
        what bad shape this country is in!
