I sometimes wonder how long it is going to take for the judicial and media elites to find out that one of society’s most effective weapons against our social ills is an old fashioned one—namely, religion. You don’t have to be a rocket scientist to figure out that kids who do God are less likely to do drugs, or to turn to crime, or to get pregnant out of wedlock.

    In the inner-city, churches work far more efficiently than any government agency or institution. John DeLileo of Princeton and Columbia University Center for Addiction and Drug Substance Abuse, and of course Alcoholics Anonymous for years, has attributed their success to the “higher power.”

    What Jesus taught us to do really works. Christianity may not always be the politically correct answer, but it is always the right answer.
