It sure is a good thing that Bible reading and prayer were removed from the public school system, isn’t it?

Some kid might actually hear *gasp* SCRIPTURE; might even think that there was a God that he’s accountable to....

Who knows just where that sort of thing could lead...

The horrors....

Have you seen the study of “societal indicators”? (I think that’s the term)

Someone did a study of all the societal indicators -

divorce, teen suicide, teen pregancy, cohabitation, alcoholism & drug use, STDs, violent crimes, etc -

since 1963 when prayer was removed from schools.

All of the negative indicators took a “hockey stick” exponential increase at that inflection point.

One statistic that took a reflective exponential drop was SAT scores.
