Children Are Our Future

What we do to our children, they will do to society ~ Church Sign
Now I read this on the way home from the mall the other day, and I thought to my self, if this is true then why are churches, temples, and mosques ruining it for the rest of us. In virtually every religion and note that I said virtually, not all, there is an abundance of violence, and atrocities in its very own holy books. Judaism and Christianity alone have several verses on how to kill people that speak out against Yahweh. We've all seen what the Koran inspires in fundamentalist extremists see Osama bin Laden. I understand that Islam, Judaism, and Christianity are peaceful religions, yet it on a world stage I have yet to see it. Back to children. Look at the "fathers, brothers, and teachers" that our children grow up seeing. Fathers abandon their kids all the time from upper tier to lower tier society in every corner of the globe. Brothers, bully and demean, and teachers bias a childs mind. Forget the notions of children are the future, that is an impossibility. Children have the future that society places them in. At one time the American dream was to have a chance to do better, now all we have left is to be forced into a role we might not want to take. How do we fix it? Again change the system, fix this God-forsaken world through unity as a people, not through seperating ourselves from our fellow man in an elitist society.
