ABOUT THIS PRESENT WORLD

"Large parts of the world in which we live have already become a lunatic asylum and the inmates are running it.

"It is a weird situation when the students run the schools, the children direct and control the homes, the teachers and parents have completely lost control, and the crooks (and crooked politicians) and drug dealers have major control of the politics and economy of the world and our own country.

"It is impossible to accept or understand a time in which the victims have NO rights, and the PERPETRATORS OF THE MOST VICIOUS CRIMES HAVE ALL THE RIGHTS!

"And YET our own country is still the greatest in the world, although real and true patriotism has become a dirty word to many people, especially to the "media!"

"It is absolutely unthinkable that, in a nation that was founded as a definitely Christian nation, you can't even have a Bible on the school teacher's desk without risk of serious problems.

<"But the Koran, Mein Kampf, Das Kapital, or any "scientific" fiction supporting Darwinism (so-called science, which is really just the false religion of evolution), Socialism, Communism, or other Atheistic Humanistic claptrap are all perfectly acceptable.

"And the "sodomites" (and every other variety of perversion which can be imagined by the wicked hearts of unregenerate men) can "defend the indefensible" before school children, seeking more "victims" of their so-called "lifestyle" which is in reality a "death-style," although protected by law in some cases.

These exhibit knowledge, wisdom, and choice, coextensive with the aggregate of the whole. --- Excerpt from Dr. R. L. Dabney, on "Divine Attributes"

Make me thoughtful, but not moody, helpful, but not bossy; for Thou knowest, Lord, that I want a few friends at the end."
