Keep in mind that the seperation of church and state is ALL churches, it is not an anti-Christian bias. You can't just mainstream teach one religion in school in such a diverse, multi-cultural country. It is our duty as parents to teach our children in our homes about our religion and then letting them make their own free choices what to do with this information, not enforce it on everyone.
Ugh! This is disgusting trash. So, God can't do something... huh? Kind of takes away from that all knowing, omnipotence stuff I heard in Sunday school.
Well, if I was willing to help you but you locked the door and wouldn't allow me in, how is it my fault when something hurts you? God gives us all free will, including the free will to reject Him... as this country has done consistently for the last 40 years.
So am I to understand that the message of this song is that God was incapable of saving "the children gunned down in the hall" because the school does not allow prayer? That's a rather weak and pitiful God, no?
@MrStelam So am I to understand that a songwriter has to be a literalist to make a point? Is God really restricted by the rejection of Him in the schools? Probably not. Are students doing things to themselves and each other that they wouldn't do if they were being taught to put into practice the Ten Commandments? Probably so.
@orcasboy But if Palin's angry, hateful rhetoric didn't influence Jared Lee Loughner, then why should I assume the lack of prayer didn't help these kids?
@PitaChipJingleBear If you spent time in Sunday School as a kid, Do you believe Jesus Christ is real and do you believe that He has given you the free will to reject Him? Do you not see that is what is happening in our schools , homes and nation? Jared Lee Loughner is just one more sad example of what Godlessness brings. There will be more and more and more.... Ultimately God wins though and will judge all people for what they
Rod is an American Poet sharing his heart. This song is simple. It transcends politics and theology. I sense when I heard it something like, "A prayer never killed anyone." This song can help us take a simple perspective about our mistakes. Bob
Wow Rod! Your song and video touched my heart so deeply. You have a wonderful gift of sharing the truth in a kind way. Youre making a huge difference. Many blessings, Randy
