obviously this is some email forward, but it's witty.

Problem is, it's an email forward from right after Columbine, in '99. It's just been updated a bit.

Christians pray for the strength to endure the crisis, not to avoid the crisis completely. Anything else should induce cognitive dissonance.

Even if some of said people don't believe in the Christian "higher authority?"
Personally, I think Christianity has a lot of good values in it, but I take George Carlin's view on the 10 commandments.

Especially the part about unconditionally "honoring thy mother and thy father". An extreme minority of parents are truely worth this devotion.
My dad's called my mom a b1tch to her face while she was crying in pain from cancer. I mean doubling over, shot in the stomach, hardcore pain. Multiple times. And that's just the first frozen droplet of the iceberg. My sister and I have had to do several hundred some-odd interventions (yes I've been keeping count). Should I honor him unconditionally?
I came close to having to physically pry my mother off my sister when she grabbed her and stuck her nails in. At 2 am on Christmas Day. Should I honor her unconditionally?
I've got a couple million of these.

To answer the post: More people have been killed in the name of god then anything else, so he was doing a good thing by staying out of it.

God isn't banned from schools, you can pray all you want, you can wear your religious garb, you can have a Bible Study Club, you can have a class on comparative religion. What you can't have is school endorsement of a specific religion, religion over atheism or vice versa which occurs in school sanctioned prayer and similar.
I voted let the kids talk about it if they want to on their own time like between classes or in private conversations or in a prayer club after school on school property if they want but Religion being taught as religion in the class on school time I would vote empatically no.
No problem with religion being taught as culture and history of people but as soon as it becomes proselytizing it has to go.

All religion should be kept out of schools unless it is part of a curriculum or a social science/history class that teaches about ALL major religions equally.

A higher authority that not everyone even believes in. The problem with a lack of morals is not a lack of religion, a good person does not need the religion to be a moral person.
It should not be out there for us to see every day, but if students want to pray or whatever, that's fine. Just don't expect to make it a school wide thing.

Well, I've always think that if Christians think by wanting to meet their God is by leaving this world, then the next step is obvious so why don't they do it?
According to Christians, your sins are forgiven if you confess. Once confessed and you've accepted God (or JC) and let him into your life you're guaranteed a spot in heaven, or will be saved. So why wait around? Go be with your God.
I do recommend this to every other religious person, go be with your God.
Wait, you're telling me you have doubts now?
Unpossible!
