...Or lack there of. Its terrible that the message of peace couldn't be realized widely through peaceful acts?... Nooooo, it had to take a devastating event. That's sickening that people have to be scared into trying to make peace with on another. I've noticed that lately, due to the events on September 11, 2001, that people are using sayings like "God bless America." and such. Personally I feel (and I'm not alone here) that God has blessed America quite a bit. We enjoy freedoms, gifts technologies, vaccines, financial securities, residential privileges, occupations and the list goes on, in which a large portion of the world doesn't have. I
know God has blessed America. You see it when you walk
down the street and see streetlights, or have a dumpster
for proper sanitation. From the vehicles, rights to land
and and choices on jobs, rights to vote and uses of vast
information facilities, to say "God bless
America" would seem like we're begging for yet
another hand out form God. Something I found out not too
long ago; To get God's provision (help/advice)
you need to follow His rules. America
started out with God in mind. Perhaps we should redirect
our attention to the facts. I find it bothersome that an Atheist ,who doesn't believe in the
existence of ANY
god, let alone mine, has more religious freedom in school
than I do. My friend Xaane said it best, That's scary. A percentage of the U.S.A.'s heroin or opium related drugs come form overseas. Afghanistan for one is a supplier, as well as Columbia (its shipped with the coffee, think about it, its virtually flawless), Mexico (Its shipped in with the poppy seeds, use your common sense on that one) and portions of Europe, S. America, and Africa Not to mention billions made form Australian trade.. Also
alcohol and tobacco (mainly the costly additives) are
bigger problems than all drug issues combined? But the
government makes too much money to give them up. ..Yet
another way they show us how "important"
we are. Use your head America and the world abroad. Copy written by Robert Wesson III. Last revised: March 07, 2002.[Home] [Gallery] [Literature] [People] [Thoughts] [Links] [New] |
