God has been lost

Because of the massacre in Connecticut, we will be reeling with grief for a very long time. Twenty children and six adults snuffed out in seconds. Unspeakable.

However, we’ve killed 1 million babies this year; babies who never will get to the first grade in school. We have laws that say that’s our right. Laws that are an abomination to God.

Why? Because we’ve lost God. We’re not allowed to speak about Jesus or God (the only God), no nativities, no Merry Christmas, no prayers in public schools or businesses because it might offend some people.

That’s too bad. Maybe we need to offend some folks because if they don’t get it, maybe they should live somewhere else. Our country was founded on a God-fearing foundation.

Where is the discipline in the home, schools and workplace? If you try to correct your child in the home it’s considered “Medieval torture.” In the schools, the teacher is hit over the head with a chair. In the workplace, it’s harassment or discrimination.

What part of this do our leaders not understand? How is all of this chaos working for us? Maybe a few laws should be changed now. You think?
