Today in Jr. High Sunday School we started the first lesson of "The Messiah" Curriculum that is suppose to lead up to the Believe event we are going to in Tulsa in a few weeks. The first lesson is is titled, "The Messiah as High Priest". One of the exercises is to have all of the students write down one to three examples of what they believe to be the biggest problem(s) facing humanity. Here is how the results of the poll came out:
Economy - 6 votes
War - 5 votes
Obesity - 2 votes
Terrorism - 1 vote
Disease - 1 vote
Obama - 1 vote
Global Warming - 1 vote
Earthquakes - 1 vote
Homeless - 1 vote
Fast Food - 1 vote
After discussion and hearing what people online believed to be the biggest problem, everyone agreed that "greed" was the one of the biggest problems with humanity. Isn't it interesting that economy and war received so many more votes than any of the other topics? The students are in 7th and 8th grade, but I bet their answers would not be too far off if we polled adults. I also think it is a little ironic that one student put down Obama and Global Warming on the same paper.
