Just a law abiding citizen?

I must comment one more time on the possible prosecution of school officials for praying over a meal. I heard a short exchange on a news program between 2 people arguing for and against the ruling to bring criminal charges against these educators.

The one advocating criminal charges against them said since there was already a judicial warning (I don't know the particular name, injunction, whatever) against this school district that he sheds no tears over this ruling. They broke the law, and he, as a law abiding citizen, thought those who broke the law should be prosecuted.

There is a method Jesus used in answering questions and exposing flaws in ones argument and that was asking questions Himself. He did it when they asked him if they should pay taxes to Caesar, when they asked whose authority He spoke in, etc. I wanted to pose a question to the man on T.V. In fact, I may have been talking to the T.V.

I would have liked to say, so you are a law abiding citizen and just think laws should be upheld, hey? A few decades ago in this country it was legal for a white person to own a black person as property, if you were under that law would your policy be to just uphold it and prosecute those who opposed it? I TROW NOT!! (I think trow is the right word, but if it isn't substitute think in its place). I'm sure he would not think that was appropriate. So the question is not simply upholding all law, but is that law good or righteous.

The possible jailing of school officials in America for offering a prayer over a meal in public is evidence that even though the U.S.S.R. no longer exists, they may have won the cold war. They have influenced the philosophies of America and some of those, who see themselves as intellectually elite and offering justice for all, who have been duped into being puppet propagators of a philosophical framework based on no ethical value or moral system, or atheistic morals and values if that is possible, and are truly clueless to the facts that the Christian moral and value system of this nation is what made it great. (Whew!!) (Don't let Miss Taylor, my high school composition instructor, see this sentence.)

The writings on the walls of our national monuments, the writings in our national documents and the records of the historical meetings of this nation all point to our reliance and acknowledgement of God and our dependence on His wisdom for our existence and success. Prayer has been our heritage in beginning legislative and legal sessions. And if you trace the prayers, it has not been prayers to just some god, it has been prayer offered to the Creator of all things revealed to us in the person of Jesus Christ.

The first major Bible printing done in this nation was commissioned by Congress and the Bibles were printed for use in schools. Our law abiding citizen probably has no idea how to define right and wrong because he has no standard to base it on. It changes with the wind or at least with whoever is in power or has influence over the legal system of this nation. I'm sure he wouldn't think it right to own another person as property, or push an old lady into the middle of a busy street. Although that would be one less burden on our health care coverage expense, unless of course she just got maimed and not killed. But how do you know what's right, if you have no objective outside values to evaluate your laws by? After all, not all that many years ago it was against the law to kill babies in their mother's womb, now it's not. Did right and wrong change? I TROW NOT!!
