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...

------------------
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,"

Plagiarism. Another Rightard "family value."

I'd be more than willing to bet that 90% of the shootings you mentioned
involved assailants brought up in good Christian households. Why didn't
their religious training prevent this?

Perhaps it's not religion or the lack of it but your easy situational ethics
and the easy situatonal ethics of Rightards, generally, where killing is OK
("bomb bomb bomb bomb") if it's works for your immediate needs and not so
good when it works against your immediate needs. Where deceit is OK (as in
this example of plagiarism) when it works for you but evil when someone you
don't like lies?
