I would only add that the lack of God's word in a child's everyday life is not due primarily to failure to post the 10 Commandments in schools; it is due to a lack of family and Church guidance for children. Schools basically don't teach morality, although they've tried hard in the past; *families* teach morality and respect for God with help from the Church... but only if they want to. Your "remedy" solves the wrong problem, and the coldness and unattractiveness of your message will make solving the real problem harder.

"Force" the Bible on kids????? Why not? It's always worked before, right?

If you really are a "Thinker", you should be posting your own stuff, not something you cut and pasted from somewhere else. Thinkers should be having their own thoughts.

In faith, Dave
