You Can Save the Little One’s Souls

The following is from a book entitled Hell and the High Schools that was published in 1922.

“Reader, if you are not a parent, do you not yearn intensely to turn my child, your neighbor’s child, your enemy’s child, from spending Eternity in hell? Were even your enemy’s house on fire, would you stand by in indifference and let his child be burned alive? Yet that child’s being burned alive is as nothing when compared to that child’s spending eternity in hell. You would go to the limit in helping to rescue the child from the burning building. Isn’t saving a soul from spending eternity in hell ten million times more important than saving a human body from a burning building?”

I know we all wake up each morning intensely yearning to save little souls from the licks of eternal flame, and that is why we should all heartily get behind a new bill in Tennessee that would prevent children from being exposed to the theory of evolution. I know you probably think that this controversy was resolved in the Volunteer State back in 1925 when Clarence Darrow made a fool out of William Jennings Bryan. Bryan was so humiliated that he gave up and died five days after the trial. But, fortunately, that is not the case. John Scopes was convicted. It took the jury just nine minutes to deliberate. Clarence Darrow lost the case, and the controversy is alive and well.

Teachers are still teaching evolution in biology classes in Tennessee, and this has to stop or a lot of people are going to be paying a lengthy visit to the Lake of Fire. We can get busy saving these vulnerable souls by showing our support for HB 0368 which “protects a teacher from discipline for teaching [pseudo] scientific subjects in an objective manner.”

Bill Summary

This bill prohibits the state board of education and any public elementary or secondary school governing authority, director of schools, school system administrator, or principal or administrator from prohibiting any teacher in a public school system of this state from helping students understand, analyze, critique, and review in an objective manner the scientific strengths and scientific weaknesses of existing scientific theories covered in the course being taught, such as evolution and global warming. This bill also requires such persons and entities to endeavor to:

(1) Create an environment within public elementary and secondary schools that encourages students to explore scientific questions, learn about scientific evidence, develop critical thinking skills, and respond appropriately and respectfully to differences of opinion about controversial issues; and
(2) Assist teachers to find effective ways to present the science curriculum as it addresses scientific controversies.

I know what you’re thinking. That bill won’t ban the teaching of evolution. That just goes to show you how far the liberals have gone to undermine our faith in God. But the bill is worth supporting anyway because it allows us to undermine belief in the theory of evolution without any fear of reprisal. And, for good measure, we can cast doubt on global warming, too. Ask yourself, “What would Jesus do?” I think it’s obvious.

Jesus would support this bill.
