More Churches than Schools
I think it really says something about our society that most towns have about 3 maybe 4 schools and yet they also have a church on almost every street corner. People are more willing to donate almost unlimited funds to churches, but they bitch and complain about paying school taxes. Schools educate children and help to make them productive and intelligent members of our society while churches attempt to get children and adults to stop thinking and chant mindlessly through indoctrination.
Where are our priorities as a society? How long will our society continue to value ignorance over education? How long will we allow our society to continue with this value system? What should we do to make a difference?
Those are some important questions and I think they need answers. Personally, I think we need to continue to fight back in the war of ideas. We need to be outspoken about our criticism of religion and we must start to win over those who play lip-service to religion, claim to believe, but don’t really do anything to support their claim. Perhaps we just need to point out to people that there are probably more churches than gas stations and that we as a nation just realized how addicted to oil we are. What does that tell us? We should also point out the difference between education and indocrination. You would be surprised at how many Americans don’t understand the difference. Do you know so many Americans don’t understand the difference? Because there are more Churches than Schools in America!
