Of those entering an abortion clinic half of those souls will fly directly into the arms of Jesus.
Of those children ( from strongly active evangelical homes) who go to our nation's godless government schools, only 15% will be active in their faith 2 years after graduation from high school. This are children from highly active **Christian** homes. (By the way, 95% of homeschoolers from active evangelical homes, remain faithful. ) If Christian teachers in the godless government schools have sooooooo little influence over these evangelical children why would we expect them to have much influence with children from non-Christian homes?
When a child is taught to think and reason godlessly, as they must just to cooperate in the godless school, he risks losing his eternal soul.
My conclusion: It is evil to teach a child to think and reason godlessly. Government teachers must do this if they are to keep their job. Any Christian teacher who has worked more than a little time in the government schools has done this. They do it every time they hand out a godless textbook, follow the godless curriculum, and hand out godless assignments, and treat Christianity as if it were just another point of view.
Gee! Abortion destroys bodies. Government schools teach children to think and reason godlessly and the risk is destroyed souls. Which is worse? Should Christians be working in, cooperating with, or establishing either? Personally, I think not.
If abortion centers abort little bodies, and government schools risk condemning souls then they should be treated similarly:
—Christians should not work in either facility.
—Christians should do everything legally and peaceful possible to shut both of these abominations down.
—Christians should educate parents about the sin that accompanies sending their children into either facility.
—Christians should picket both.
Personally....I have made a decision. I will not have a government school worker for a friend. They are too evil, too stupid, or too much of a Useful Idiot to be my friend. I feel the same about abortion workers as well. This is a **personal** decision. Each much make that decision, or not,for themselves.

You know, if you are a Christian (and there is little in the above comment that suggests you are), you would want to be extra careful about how you judge other Christians. To call them evil and stupid, useful idiots...does nothing to advance the cause of Christ. It only advances the cause of wintertime, who forever after such accusations will be viewed by others (Christian and non-Christian alike) as lacking the love and grace of the Savior. And now, your harangue has been posted on the internet where, for all time, the “Christian testimony” of one, wintertime, will include that s/he berates fellow Christians whom s/he has never met solely for the purpose of massaging his/her own opinions. I would think that anyone who belongs to Him would be more concerned about his/her testimony as it reflects on the Lord s/he claims to serve.
I have tried to converse with you about a subject that we both apparently have differing views. I have tried to be gracious in circumventing some of your more passionate, though, indelicate comments in an effort to offer some insight into what, I believe, is a too-narrow viewpoint of a larger spiritual matter (the sad state of our nation’s worldly schools and the spiritual warfare that takes place there—one view is temporal, the other is eternal). You have not shown an willingness to consider this, but persist in railing...something the Christian is called to avoid.
Hey, not to worry. I’m sure there are some reading this thread today and are deciding to follow Christ as we speak.
