On the day last week when the telecommunications bill was passed in the
|
||
|
|
Senate, NPR played a tape of Senator Exon on the Senate floor including a
|
||
|
|
prayer by a Senate chaplin.
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
"Almighty God, Lord of all life, we praise You for the
|
||
|
|
advancements in computerized communications that we enjoy in
|
||
|
|
our time. Sadly, however, there are those who are littering
|
||
|
|
this information superhighway with obscene, indecent, and
|
||
|
|
destructive pornography. Virtual but virtueless reality is
|
||
|
|
projected in the most twisted, sick misuse of sexuality.
|
||
|
|
Violent people with sexual pathology are able to stalk and
|
||
|
|
harass the innocent. Cyber solicitation of teenagers reveals
|
||
|
|
the dark side of online victimization.
|
||
|
|
Lord, we are profoundly concerned about the impact of this
|
||
|
|
on our children. We have learned from careful study how
|
||
|
|
children can become addicted to pornography at an early age.
|
||
|
|
Their understanding and appreciation of Your gift of
|
||
|
|
sexuality can be denigrated and eventually debilitated.
|
||
|
|
Pornography disallowed in print and the mail is now readily
|
||
|
|
available to young children who learn how to use the
|
||
|
|
computer.
|
||
|
|
Oh God, help us care for our children. Give us wisdom to
|
||
|
|
create regulations that will protect the innocent. In times
|
||
|
|
past, You have used the Senate to deal with problems of air
|
||
|
|
and water pollution, and the misuse of our natural resources.
|
||
|
|
Lord, give us courage to balance our reverence for freedom of
|
||
|
|
speech with responsibility for what is said and depicted.
|
||
|
|
Now, guide the Senators when they consider ways of
|
||
|
|
controlling the pollution of computer communications and how
|
||
|
|
to preserve one of our greatest resources: The minds of our
|
||
|
|
children and the future and moral strength of our Nation.
|
||
|
|
Amen.
