Nothing did more to destroy my faith and dissolve my interest in organized religion. I know for certain that many of my peers were similarly disillusioned.<BR/><BR/>Just sayin'.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4223398383609158624.post-15654618456162939102009-04-05T11:49:00.000-04:002009-04-05T11:49:00.000-04:00AMEN AMEN AMEN! I am a catholic who from day one...AMEN AMEN AMEN!<BR/><BR/> I am a catholic who from day one decided that my children were going to be catholic educated. My wife and i managed to pull this off on Long Island where on top of a ridiculous cost of living you have hideous property taxes. Add the cost of tuition and you have a pretty monstrous challenge. Over the years we've spent tens of thousands of dollars in tution books etc etc. We probably could have bought 3 or 4 new cars, a few vacations..maybe even another house! <BR/> I do not regret for a single moment keeping my kids out of government schools. I have seen first hand there what passes for education. My wife is now a substitute teacher in the public schools and she comes home with horror stories. It is a godless secular enviornement completely sterile. No creativity. Just politically correct crap that does nothing but produce stepford children programed to shout the liberal aethist philisophy.<BR/> You are correct. It was foolish to think that the christian right would ever "take back" the public schools. Pull your kids out. Its never too late.joewxmanhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/05678926303802629952noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4223398383609158624.post-60833646692437278112009-04-05T11:30:00.000-04:002009-04-05T11:30:00.000-04:00The American Taliban are retreating to their Ameri...The American Taliban are retreating to their American Madrassas for their Koran, er, Bible memorization.
