Another Email from my grandpa

My Grandpa sent me this and it struck a cord with me. I don't know how you will feel about it. When he sent it, it was longer but I felt it would be more poignant to end it sooner.


Dear God:

Why didn't you save the school children at ?. ..

Ouch! It makes a good point, though. What I don't get is why in the name of "respect" they don't allow Christians/Muslims/Jews etc to practice their beliefs (for want of a better phrase) in school. If they want to "respect" everyone, let religious folks be religious folks!
