On God And Country Moral Code and Today’s Youth

Here is the letter that you have requested I post again. It’s called “On God And Country” Seems pertinent in light of what happened at the Long Island Walmart over the weekend.

And here is the latest on cheating and stealing in America today.

In the past year, 30 percent of U.S. high school students have stolen from a store and 64 percent have cheated on a test, according to a new, large-scale survey suggesting that Americans are too apathetic about ethical standards. Educators reacting to the findings questioned any suggestion that today’s young people are less honest than previous generations, but several agreed that intensified pressures are prompting many students to cut corners.

    Two small thoughts here. 1) On God and country and only going to one part of your friends letter -The theroy that God is being removed more and more from people's lives and that liberals are etc etc . I would offer that if I remember the general bigger throught behind his idea that President Gerorge W. Bush would disagree with this. Did he not once ask if the world is in fact going through a major religious revial. I would offer he is right that religion has become and is everywhere now and at the forefront of almost everything like for an example that those who voted for President Elect Obama are sinners and will burn in the lake of fire for eterinty and be forgotting and suffer pain for ever and ever unless they go to confession and say I am a sinner please forgive me for I voted for Barrack please spare my soul.I will never vote for a democrate again unless you from your religious pulprit says it is ok and approved by His Holiness the Pope of Rome of the Roman Catholic faith or again I will suffer damnination an will go to hell.. As a believer to hear this today made me sick to my stomac that now in America certain religious groups now are claiming that unless you vote the way they tell you your a heratic. I can try and remember those witch trails and the screams of pain and denials as women were burned to there deaths, is that next or pubic stoning and shunning or chopping off of heads of the disblielvers who do not worship the right way of the current politacal times here in America that may have different views.Opps maybe a bit much sorry But as a God fearing beleiver the Prayer on the back of a car bumber rings true . I prey to you Almight God the mercyfull to save me from your followers..In case ..I also ask for your mercy and ever lasting love and compassion that for the first time since Gerorge h Bush I did not play with my vote for President and Voted for Barrack and ask your forgivness and understanding and also ask for you to show mercy on those I may have had any part in getting to vote for Mr. Obama also as I am now told by a branch of the church I was babtished in that unless I and everyone else confesses that the church says I will persios so please forgive me or them for putting this on my consiues and confussion me with shame and guilt.

    2)Did not Plato or some one back several thousand years ago make the same statement about the youth and from the Greatest TV show ever the Wire form HBO. One chactor to the other "Ya I hear it every year oh you had better watch out these new kids are just crazy and weild not like the old days." For the next thousand years some where some how some body over 28.6 years old will say it again and again till the end of time. The more things change the more they stay the same.

    The topic was religion and how it's being outlawed and driving under by them nasty libel elites. The same day this was posted the news was reporting that these so called churches that are being driving underground are now threating the souls of everyone with dammination for voting for Barrak. AKA no such truth to the rumores of a war on religion but one heck of a war on huminity by churches.Yes a startch and I was blowing off some steam after hearing these leaders of faith and GOD to threating the souls of there followers. Thats not religion thats blackmail and extorition. Vote as we tell you or you will burn,burn burn.Opps was getting mad again.
