Amen! I remember when as a young teacher I used to lead my third grade
class in our daily devotional to Ba'al and Ishtar. It got everyone off
to a good start and kept us grounded in proper moral values throughout
the school day. (Of course every year there was some small group of
malcontent parents pissing and moaning about this and wanting me to lead
the class in Christian prayers! Can you imagine?)
Society just hasn't been the same since. Everything's going to hell
in a hand basket.
