gas prices going up signs and punishment from god?

[Guest gzc721]

I don't know if anyone has ever seen this or not, but I have had many problems with my son and religion in school. My son who is 7 years of age has for the last two years been disciplined for saying prayers in school at lunch and for bringing his Bible to school for his after school church program on Thursdays. He has been told that if he MUST pray, then he is not allowed to bow his head and close his or whisper it. He must look straight ahead and pretend that he isn't praying. Of course, he won't do this and it has taken many trips to the principal's office for both of us to make them leave him alone.

He was also told when he brought his Bible to school for the first time that it HAD to remain in the front zipper pocket of his backpack, NO ONE was allowed to know that it was there, and he couldn't read it in class. He abided by these rules simply because they were not a hard thing to do. He had not brought the Bible to read in class, but to read after school at church at the bible study meeting.

He is a great kid and I wish that there were more like him in the world. I agree that we must get God back into our lives and homes before we can expect it to be allowed in school, but it angers me that they allow church and state to be mixed in this situation.

I hope that everyone enjoys this.

This one is done different from any of the other I have seen. It is neat.

Now I sit me down in school

Where praying is against the rule

For this great nation under God

Finds mention of Him very odd.

If Scripture now the class recites,

It violates the Bill of Rights.

And anytime my head I bow

Becomes a Federal matter now.

Our hair can be purple, orange or green,

That's no offense; it's a freedom scene.

The law is specific, the law is precise.

Prayers spoken aloud are a serious vice.

For praying in a public hall

Might offend someone with no faith at all

In silence alone we must meditate,

God's name is prohibited by the state.

We're allowed to cuss and dress like freaks,

And pierce our noses, tongues and cheeks.

They've outlawed guns, but FIRST the Bible.

To quote the Good Book makes me liable.

We can elect a pregnant Senior Queen,

And the 'unwed daddy,' our Senior King.

It's "inappropriate" to teach right from wrong,

We're taught that such "judgments" do not belong.

We can get our condoms and birth controls,

Study witchcraft, vampires and totem poles.

But the Ten Commandments are not allowed,

No word of God must reach this crowd.

It's scary here I must confess,

When chaos reigns the school's a mess.

So, Lord, this silent plea I make:

Should I be shot; My soul please take!

Amen

If you aren't ashamed to do this, please pass this on.

Jesus said, " If you are ashamed of me," I will be ashamed

of you before my Father."

gzc721,

I don't understand what this has to do with gas/oil prices???? Perhaps a new thread would be a better place to discuss this so as to respect the Original Poster of this thread.

A quick response, though, would be to contact the ACLJ - American Center for Law and Justice run by Jay Sekulow. They are fantastic with cases like this!!!

qzc, you should contact the ACLU. I think you probably have grounds for a lawsuit. Yes, I know the ACLU doesn't have a good track record among Christians, but this is about a child's freedom to worship God when and where he/she wants. If this was a muslim student, I'm sure the ACLU would be all over it. Try contacting them, what have you got to lose?

???

[Guest Fluffy the Cactus]

Or try the Christian Law Association. Either way, you have nothing to lose. (BTW, what does this have to do with gas prices? LOL) Christian Law Association ACLU

Ok well you all know about the gas prices going up right? Well i have heard many things about this and one of things i heard is what i heard in youth group tonight...My youth minister siad that he thought that gas prices was a sign and punishment from god. He thought that it was some people's punshiment for not believing and following him. And mostly taking religon out of school! I dont know if this is true but i really want to know but im sooo clueless...is this what the gas prices are, a sign from god?   Well what do you guys think about it?
