First Comment on "Girls Today"

Lauren Guerrero said... I totally agree that society is whack for telling girls that they need to sexualize themselves in order to please men. It's a backwards idea in regards to society, and an un-Biblical idea in that it flaunts the temple meant for the eyes of one person. And if not one person, at least save your goodies for the bedroom, and not for all of us to see (oftentimes, those goodies aren't all that good).

However, even though I am a Christian as you know, firm in my beliefs, I also put my faith in the system created by the forefathers of our great country. I think that God should not be in schools. For that matter, religion at all. Because, if we get the power of being in schools and government, we will become another copy of the Catholic church. Corrupt, dying with the disease of our own greed. Plus, you and I both know that God doesn't need school or government to do His awesome works. I also hate that people pass out condoms to junior highers. But I think that it is ok to give them to High Schoolers. Because I would rather preach to safe-sex teens than teens dying of AIDS. But, that one's just my opinion. Great post!

I see where you are coming from, and what you are getting at. However, not allowing god in schools is the problem. Not allowing ANY religion in schools in a problem. If it were fair, say ANYONE can pray to ANYTHING without being labeled intolerant, biased, rude, hating, or anything else (like many Christian students are in schools by teachers and fellow students) and not just the "Politically Correct" religions (i.e. Islam, Atheism, and Paganism), then we would be fine. Let me pray to God at lunch, before a test, and as the day goes by. Do not tell me, or my future children for that matter, that they cannot, but in the same breath tell the Muslim children that they have a special room for them to pray each time they need to. This has happened before. In the month that they celebrate Rammadan there were schools that were setting aside space for the children of the Muslim faith to pray. I am fine with that, but do not tell Christian, Catholic, or other students of a religious and faithful background that they cannot do what they want to concerning their religion (like keeping ash on their head from Ash Wednesday in the Catholic church... students were kicked out of school because it was a "health hazard" and "offensive" to other students).

Once again, I understand where you are coming from.

Thank you for you comment. As always, your eloquence makes reading a joy.
