Remarks from CBS Sunday Morning - Ben Stein
The following was written by Ben Stein and recited by him on CBS Sunday Morning Commentary.
My confession:
I am a Jew, and every single one of my ancestors was Jewish. And it does not bother me even
a little bit when people call those beautiful lit up, bejeweled trees, Christmas trees. I
don't feel threatened. I don't feel discriminated against. That's what they are, Christmas
trees.
It doesn't bother me a bit when people say, 'Merry Christmas' to me. I don't think they are
slighting me or getting ready to put me in a ghetto. In fact, I kind of like it. It shows
that we are all brothers and sisters celebrating this happy time of year. It doesn't bother
me at all that there is a manger scene on display at a key intersection near my beach house
in Malibu . If people want a crèche, it's just as fine with me as is the Menorah a few
hundred yards away.
I don't like getting pushed around for being a Jew, and I don't think Christians like getting
pushed around for being Christians. I think people who believe in God are sick and tired of
getting pushed around, period. I have no idea where the concept came from, that America is
an explicitly atheist country. I can't find it in the Constitution and I don't like it being
shoved down my throat.
Or maybe I can put it another way: where did the idea come from that we should worship
celebrities and we aren't allowed to worship God as we understand Him? I guess that's a sign
that I'm getting old, too. But there are a lot of us who are wondering where these celebrities
came from and where the America we knew went to. In light of the many jokes we send to one
another for a laugh, this is a little different: This is not intended to be a joke; it's not
funny, it's intended to get you thinking.
Billy Graham's daughter was interviewed on the Early Show and Jane Clayson asked her 'How could
God let something like this happen?' (regarding Hurricane Katrina).. Anne Graham gave an
extremely profound and insightful response. She said, 'I believe God is deeply saddened by this,
just as we are, but for years we've been telling God to get out of our schools, to get out of
our government and to get out of our lives. And being the gentleman He is, I believe He has
calmly backed out. How can we expect God to give us His blessing and His protection if we demand
He leave us alone?' In light of recent events... terrorists attack, school shootings, etc. I
think it started when Madeleine Murray O'Hare (she was murdered, her body found a few years ago)
complained she didn't want prayer in our schools, and we said OK. Then someone said you better
not read the Bible in school. The Bible says thou shalt not kill; thou shalt not steal, and
love your neighbor as yourself. And we said OK.
Then Dr. Ben jamin Spock said we shouldn't spank our children when they misbehave, because their
little personalities would be warped and we might damage their self-esteem (Dr. Spock's son
committed suicide). We said an expert should know what he's talking about. And we said okay.
Now we're asking ourselves why our children have no conscience, why they don't know right from
wrong, and why it doesn't bother them to kill strangers, their classmates, and themselves.
Probably, if we think about it long and hard enough, we can figure it out. I think it has a
great deal to do with 'WE REAP WHAT WE SOW.'
Funny how simple it is for people to trash God and then wonder why the world's going to hell.
Funny how we believe what the newspapers say, but question what the Bible says. Funny how you
can send 'jokes' through e-mail and they spread like wildfire, but when you start sending
messages regarding the Lord, people think twice about sharing. Funny how lewd, crude, vulgar
and obscene articles pass freely through cyberspace, but public discussion of God is suppressed
in the school and workplace.
Are you laughing yet?
Funny how when you forward this message, you will not send it to many on your address list
because you're not sure what they believe, or what they will think of you for sending it.
Funny how we can be more worried about what other people think of us than what God thinks of us.
Pass it on if you think it has merit. If not, then just discard it... no one will know you did.
But, if you discard this thought process, don't sit back and complain about what bad shape the
world is in.
My Best Regards, Honestly and respectfully,
Ben Stein
