For today’s children, Jesus Christ is not what he used to be
Posted on November 10th, 2003 by Anthony K. Valley
Jesus Christ is better known to schoolchildren as a swear word than as the son of God, a Christian research centre says.
National Church Life Survey researcher Ruth Powell said this was the remnant of major cultural change in the 1960s, playing itself generation by generation as baby boomers left the church.
“This generation of school-age children is the first with no residual memory, no image of church that they are rejecting – they have no reference points at all,” Dr Powell said.
The research is part of a national profile developed from the census and a community survey of 8000 people in the past year by the NCLS, a market research arm for several Christian denominations.
Dr Powell said a religious education teacher at a state school who asked her class what came to mind when she mentioned Christmas and Jesus Christ was greeted with smirks, showing Jesus was “better known by her class as a profanity than a deity”.

Good evening,
My name is Pierre Boisjoli from Montreal and I developed a mathematical model by tensors between 1982 and 1984 which joins economy, social sciences and politic to explain the destiny of the world. I gave the model to the President of International Conference of Social Action in August 1984. Gorbachev used it to split the USSR and I saved the world.
I had a very difficult life because my family stool me the money from the heritage of my parent and I cry against them. They putted Motorcycle gangs against me. I am like a lonely wolf against the beast.I wrote my story on the web at the address www.geocities.com/p_wellwood/ . Texts are in french; it is my first language.
To understand who I am, I invite you to read the Interpretation of King Nabucodonosor dream reported by the prophet Daniel in the Old Testament. The two legs of the statue are the freedom and efficacity for capitalist world and solidarity and social justice for communist world and the pebble droped on the toe of the statue is my mathematical model.
I invite you to read my story and to write me at the address boisjoli2004@yahoo.ca . I believe that mass destruction weapons are the sword of Apocalypse.
Thank you for your attention and may God bless you
Pierre Boisjoli

Parents and teachers should take real interest to tell children about Jesus. In most cases children do not have happy homes.Single mothers or sex-crazy fathers who will never spend time with children, but will be with other women in motels- are the causes for this sad state of affairs. But God will punish America, if they forget Jesus. As Babylonians were sent against Israel, God will send powerful enemies against the U.S., although it is a super power. What happened on September 11,2000? Let it be a lesson for not knowing Jesus, the God of the founding fathers of America
