Safety

One of the things that led Eve and Adam into losing their lease was to think they could find a godless place in Eden where they could hide out (Gen 3.8). Obviously, they weren’t the last to be so presumptuous.

According to the Associated Press, the Texas Southern Baptists have gone and done exactly that. They’ve recently pronounced the Houston public schools not only as “godless,” but “resolutely anti-Christian.” God left, they imply, when the schools allowed gay clubs, diversity training, anti-bullying courses, and programs about safe sex and safe schools. Thus alone, such a system could only be promoting “homosexuality” as an “acceptable alternative lifestyle.”

Not to worry, they comforted. Parents can now just remove their children and either “home-school them or enroll them in Christian schools.” Once there, I suppose, they’ll be protected by one of those safe sects.
