JPF Home Page Forums General Messages Songwriter Message Forum Where is the morality of the young people going?

I think this has been a very civilized discussion, considering the passionate subject.

Johnnie, the commie thing INHO was a joke

Just think about what you said here. "A lot" of parents make the decision not to teach their kids about God. This, of course is their right under the First Amendment (or do you wish to revoke religious freedom?). So, you seem to feel that the government should step in and utilize the schools to force God upon those children (also in opposition to the First Amendment). What are you, a Commie?

Look at the context, he was just talking about forcing something on someone. If you think about it, Communists were complete ATHEISTS. You weren't allowed to worship at all under communism. If anything, they forced people to NOT have any GOD in their lives. My wife's grandpa risked being put in prison by worshipping his GOD underground...and he was Jewish man who lived in a country that in general HATED Jews.

Let's just forget about it and move on. It is going nowhere. I thought songwriters were a friendly crowd. Wow was I mistaken.

I suggest to you maam that this is and has been a very friendly conversation. People that are not friends and not interested in being friendly do not talk about their differences in an effort to understand each other...they just stay away from each other.
This is all about communication, and again, considering the subject, I doubt you could have a friendlier discussion than this. At the end of this thread, all of us will still respect each other and feel a little closer for sharing this lively debate.
