explicitly atheist country. I can't find it in the Constitution and
I don't like it being shoved down my throat.

us who are wondering where these celebrities came from and where
the America we knew went to.

this is a little different: This is not intended to be a joke; it's not
funny, it's intended to get you thinking.

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
neighbour as yourself. And we said OK.
Then Dr. Benjamin Spock said we shouldn't spank our children when
schools, 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,

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.'
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

in the school and workplace.

Are you laughing yet?
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.
Funny how we can be more worried about what other people
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.
Pass it on if you think it has merit.
If not, then just discard it. No one will
know you did. But, if you discard this thought process,
