national education...

It's not a good sign when you see more and more pastors making the papers for all the wrong reasons. Today, another pastor made the headlines for making insensitive remarks towards another religion. And Christians wonder why they are always being misunderstood by the rest of the community.

Sermons can get pretty dry. However, if pastors need to resort to to making fun of other religions to maintain the attention of the congregation, that's a sad sad state to be in. Attend a speech and drama class, learn the proper way to engage your audience. Oscar Wilde said that sarcasm is the lowest form of wit. And everyday we fight a war to prevent teenagers from making fun of their peers. With role models like these, no wonder we are on the losing end.

So this is a national educational message: Don't make fun of others. There are other things out there that are actually funny. If you can only find laughter when you put someone else down, you've got to reevaluate your sense of humor, there might be something connected wrongly somewhere.
