New School Prayer

[nickleahevan]

Since the Pledge of Allegiance and he Lord's Prayer are not allowed in most public schools anymore Because the word "God" is mentioned.... A kid in Arizona wrote the attached NEW School prayer. I think it is heartwarming and inspiring.

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

Isn't that the truth. It seems like God is just pushed aside. I liked that.

[chevy]

Truly inspiring. I'm glad to see so many good messages being spread.

[darkangelsblade]

If only we could spread them out in the world a little more that would really be great.

[chevy]

You can spread the word of God just by telling others. You don't have to just post things on the internet, but the best way to do it is by knowing the Bible. Like anything else, you have to back up what you are trying to teach people.

[darkangelsblade]

I know the Bible but don't always know exactly where it is at in the Bible. And I do spread the word of God everyday. He is my life. I try to do the best I can but sometimes we all go astray, but I get right back on track real quick. God is what makes the world go around and sometimes the internet is a good way to spread his word. You reach so many people on the internet.

Atheist's Prayer


As an atheist walked through the forest, he smiled at the beauty that was all around him and said, "What natural wonders the powers of evolution have created."
Just then he heard a rustling near the river. He went to investigate and a 7-foot-tall grizzly bear was tearing down the path towards him him. The man took off like a shot, and when he got up the courage to look back, he saw the bear was catching up fast. He tried with all his strength to pick up the pace, but he tripped and crashed to the ground. As he tried to get up, the bear jumped on his chest and picked up one paw to whack him. The atheist screamed, "Oh my God!!!"
Time stopped! The bear froze. The forest was silent. Even the river stopped moving. As a bright light shone upon the man, a voice boomed from the heavens, "You
deny my existence for all of these years, teach others I don't exist, and even credit creation to a cosmic accident. Do you expect me to help you out of this
predicament? Am I to count you as a believer?" The atheist looked directly into the light, "It would be hypocritical of me to suddenly ask you to treat me as a Christian now, but perhaps could you make the bear a Christian?" "Very well," the voice said.
The light went out, the river ran again, and the sounds of the forest resumed.And then the bear dropped its right paw, brought both paws together, bowed its
head and spoke:

"Lord, for this food which I am about to receive, I am truly thankful."
