I added a couple of new topics to my queue today. One in the Air element and one in the earth element. So spiritual grounding inspiration is what I had today, and it just came unexpected after reading a post on facebook about the speech Darrel Scott, father of one of the Columbine victims, delivered to the House Judiciary Committee's subcommittee. I was moved by his words, he expressed a great deal of wisdom in what he said. Here is the poem he wrote and included in that speech:
"Your laws ignore our deepest needs, Your words are empty air. You've stripped away our heritage, You've outlawed simple prayer. Now gunshots fill our classrooms, And precious children die. You seek for answers everywhere, And ask the question "Why?" You regulate restrictive laws, Through legislative creed. And yet you fail to understand, That God is what we need!"
He is right, when you take God out of any equation, you leave an empty space, and it will be filled by something else. And this has nothing to do with the existence of Jesus, or any other religions belief out there, ts God. And as far as I know, most of the world believes there is a God, so I don't understand the conflict. Is it because some teachers were taking things too far and trying to recruit church members from their classes? Now that is something I don't believe should happen, it's crossing a professional line, But to take God out completely, when words that our nation was founded on say that this is "one nation, under God" is to arrogantly say that we don't need God to protect us anymore.
If the basic laws of our society are based on self determination (free agency) then how can we justify taking out the right to have God in our schools? When laws and rules prevent us from being able to practice free will, then the law makers need to be fired!
