Just Suppose

by Dick Bidwell

I must say that I strongly agree with the thoughts expressed by the author. I believe that
anyone associated with the public school systems will agree that the removal of Bibles and prayer
from the classrooms marked a decline in respect for others, self-respect, and morals in general.
The title of the painting on this page is "Every Knee Shall Bow" and I, for one, agree that it is
time for this in our country!

JUST SUPPOSE that at every ball game, graduation, prom, etc., someone
who has had enough of the ridiculous, anti-historical court decisions had the guts
to start reciting the Lord's Prayer loudly, and others joined in, then more,
until hundreds participated.

And JUST SUPPOSE this spread all over our land until this became standard practice
in hundreds of schools--then thousands--then tens of thousands.

Just what would local school boards do? Expel half the student body? (They need their
jobs and federal funding far too much to do that.) What would a Federal district court do?
Order hundreds of non-violent, decent minors jailed? Or thousands?

Just what would the Supreme Court do about it--issue more edicts? What if millions
decided the Supreme Court was out of its league and said "So what?"

JUST SUPPOSE hundreds of brave school board members, local judges, prosecutors,
and others, each in their own area of authority, refused to intervene, realizing that
we have already tried it the other way, and the result was a modern-day Sodom and
Gomorrah of immorality and senseless violence.

JUST SUPPOSE this then spread next into classroom after classroom, and either
a brave student or a brave teacher started the Lord's Prayer (or Psalm 100, or a Bible
reading, etc.) each morning, until hundreds of thousands stood up and did their part
and stopped cowering before the destructive, God-hating secular attitudes of the pagan
minority who parrot the media line.

JUST SUPPOSE every God-fearing Christian participated--peacefully, non-violently,
but firmly and continually. Where would they get enough jails to hold us all?
How would they prosecute hundreds of thousands?

It is far more than the government can do to even stop the flow of illegal drugs,
despite their best efforts, and overcrowded jails. Hardened criminals walk after doing
only half of their sentence to ease jail crowding. Even if they try to pick on a handful
to make examples of them, what if hundreds of thousands stood up to the tyranny of the
minority and demanded their freedom of religion back? They can't build enough jails or
courts to begin to deal with such a movement.

During the Civil Rights battles of the 60's, some of the black people decided they
had had enough and stood up to the system-a few dozen here, a few hundred there-and
eventually the whole country heard, and repented, and changed.

Racial repression was an evil whose time was over. But now, there is another
battle--and the stakes are even higher. The future of all children, white, black, and
otherwise, is at stake. No other country on earth allows a tiny minority of impractical
anti- religious bigots to censor their people's right to free religious expression.
Even Russian public schools show videos of the life and teachings of Jesus now. We tend
to get exactly the kind of government we deserve.

If you make a time line or a graph, you will see that the exponential increase in
public school violence, pregnancy, and foul language all started at exactly the time
the Supreme Court threw prayer and Bible reading out of the schools. We told God we
didn't need Him, and the results speak for themselves.

JUST SUPPOSE hundreds of Christians passed this message on to all their friends,
leaders, and contacts.

JUST SUPPOSE hundreds of churches, organizations and ministries passed this message
on to their constituencies with a request to reprint, repost, and repeat it wherever possible.

Once upon a time the Church was the moral conscience and spiritual lighthouse of
the nation. Now, most congregations are impotent, pusillanimous minor- league social
welfare agencies or mutual comfort societies with no impact on the world around their
little enclave.

JUST SUPPOSE -- What do you suppose you should do?

YOU MAY NOT KNOW WHAT THE FUTURE HOLDS,
BUT KNOWING WHO HOLDS THE FUTURE MAKES ALL THE DIFFERENCE.
