<"We have worshipped other gods and called it multi-culturalism."> --What the f*** is wrong with other cultures? By the way, would you happen to be white?
"We have endorsed perversion and called it an alternative lifestyle." --Uh, kinda vague and ambiguous, but hey, I can tell you right now a large number of gay people are closer to God than you are, if you endorse that remark.
"We have coveted our neighbor's possessions and called it ambition." --This has always been and will always be, and ain't necessarily bad assuming you don't bug your neighbor and it results in your kid having a better future.
"We have ridiculed the time-honored values of our forefathers and called it enlightenment." --Hmmmm . . . didn't these guys also tell us it was OK to own African Americans as slaves?
"Search us, O God, and know our hearts today; cleanse us from every sin and set us free. Guide and bless these men and women who have been sent to direct us to the center of Your will. I ask it in the name of Your Son, the living Savior, Jesus Christ. Amen." --This just in--other people have different ideas on re: their spiritual leaders!!!
"We have neglected to discipline our children and called it building self-esteem." --And this one has taken the performance requirement off kids, and put it on parents, where it belongs. Or does that make you uneasy?
Prayers DEMAND a 100% buy-in. This falls WAYYYYYY short for most people. Damn right people walked out. And they will walk out on this B***S*** in increasing numbers, friend, as our glorious union becomes even more multicultural and religiously diverse.
Good Luck in the next millennium, my brother. You will need it.
