The world is stark staring mad!!!!!
I make no apologies for passing on this message which is from the daughter of a Toronto couple who used to run a Bible and Book Store.
They were murdered.
When I had to testify at the murder trial of my parents a week ago, I was asked to raise my right hand. The bailiff started out, 'Do you swear to tell the truth, the whole truth, and nothing but the truth ?
I stood there and waited but she said nothing more. She said, 'Do you?' I was so stunned I blurted out, 'What happened to 'so help me God?' She came back with 'Do you?' I replies yes, but I was perplexed. Then the judge said, 'You can say that if you want to.' I stopped, raised my right hand and finished with 'so help me God!'
I told my son and daughter that when it came time for them to testify, they should do the same. It's no wonder we have so many problems in this country. If I'd had my wits about me, I'd have told them that taking God out of the courtroom is only going to result in more criminals and murderers like him being in there. I don't know what can be done about it, but it's time we stepped up and did something.
CBC this morning had a poll on this question. They had the highest number of responses that they have ever had for one of their polls and the percentage was the same as this: 86% to keep the words; 15% against. That is a pretty commanding public response.
I was asked to send this on if I agreed or delete if I didn't. Now it is your turn. It is said that 85% of CANADIANS believe in God. Why don't we just tell the 14% to sit down and SHUT UP!
If you agree, pass it on. If not,may your God help you.
Why do so many of us live in the past, bewailing the actions of those long dead while our own authorities are busily tearing down the very fabric of our society TODAY!
My sincere thanks to Dave Cottrell for passing on yet another example of the stupidity and arrogance of those who should know better and the futility in trying to get them to live in OUR world. These people live in a strange place removed from sanity and consequences. The very power of their status means that they can behave as though we, the people, are of no account.
BUT WE, THE PEOPLE, GAVE THEM THEIR STATUS.
WE, THE PEOPLE, STAND EQUALLY CONDEMNED!

Arthur someone your friend Dave trusted probably sent it to him and so on. It's not your friend it's the person who first put this together who is responsible. That party set this whole thing in motion and they depended on the fact that we trust our friends. I'm just very suspicious and skeptical of all these e-mail campaigns.

Just plain honesty
Hi, Cheryl,
Since I had absolute trust in Dave, who sent me this, I didn't do my own check. Obviously I should have done.

Arthur the moral of this story is important, however the story itself is a lie. Why do Christians think embellishing or capitalizing on the tragedy of others to push their agenda is right? Lying itself is a sin.
