I you ever wondered about right from wrong.

Food for thought!

> This is really good and so true!!!!

> In light of the many perversions and jokes we send along to one
> another for a laugh, this is a little different:
>
> This joke today is not intended to be a joke, it's not intended
> to be funny, it's intended to get you thinking.

> *Billy Graham's daughter was interviewed on the Early Show and Jane
> Clayson asked her "How could God let something like this happen?"
> (regarding the attacks on Sept. 11 ).

> Anne Graham gave an extremely profound and insightful response. She
> Said "I believe God is deeply saddened by this, just as we are, but for
> Years we've been telling God to get out of our schools, to get out of our
> government and to get out of our lives. And being the gentleman He is,
> I believe He has calmly backed out. How can we expect God to give us His
> blessing and His protection if we demand He leave us alone?"
>
> 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 recently) complained she didn't want prayer in our schools. We

>
> 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 OK.
>
> Then someone said teachers and principals better not discipline our
> children when they misbehave. 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
> (there's a big difference between disciplining, touching, beating,
> smacking,
> humiliating, kicking, etc.). And we said OK.
>
> 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 OK.
>
> 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

> their parents they got them at school. And we said OK.

> Then some of our top elected officials said it doesn't matter what we do
> in private as long as we do our jobs. Agreeing with them, we said it
> doesn't matter to me what anyone, including the President, does in private
> as long as I have a job and the economy is good.
>
> Then someone said let's print magazines with pictures of nude women and
> call it wholesome, down-to-earth appreciation for the beauty of the female
> body. And we said OK.
>
> And then someone else took that appreciation a step further and
> published pictures of nude children and then further again by making
> them available on the Internet. And we said OK, they're entitled to free
> speech.
>
> Then the entertainment industry said, let's make TV shows and movies
> that promote profanity, violence, and illicit sex. Let's record music that
> encourages rape, drugs, murder, suicide, and satanic themes. And we

> Now we're asking ourselves why our children have no conscience, why

> Probably, if we think about it long and hard enough, we can figure it

>
> Funny how simple it is for people to trash God and then wonder why the

> Funny how you can send 'jokes' through e-mail and they spread like

>
> Funny how lewd, crude, vulgar and obscene articles pass freely through

>
> Are you laughing?

> Pass it on if you think it has merit. If not then just discard it...
