The 10 Commandments Today??
I was thinking earlier on today (my first day of study leave) what place (if any) the 10 commandments have in society today. I ended up thinking how society is behaving in a way totally opposite to the commandments of God. They could almost be put this way...
1. Have any God you wish, just don't impose him on anyone else, and make sure it's not the true God of Christians.
2. Make idols for yourself. Human idols can be great role models and deserve the attention. Being superstitious and having things that you trust is fine as long as you feel good.
3. Swear as often as you like. It's good to let your feelings run free, everyone else does. Anyway, there's no God to offend.
4. Use every day as you wish and make Sunday just like any other day, for we did evolve from monkeys and we don't see them keeping a day special.
5. Honour your children, even if they rebel against you and wreck property. Don't smack them, that's physical abuse. Don't tell them off, that's psychological abuse. Don't ground them, that's under age imprisonment. Don't withdraw privaledges from them, that's stealing.
6. Don't kill those who are "normal", but those who are unborn or getting too old have no say in the matter of life or death.
7. Have sex as often as possible with as many people as possible. It's great to get these kind of experiences... After all, life's short. We will respect you even more if you have homosexual relationships, because its another step in the evolution process.
8. Don't steal from those who have less than you, but richer people can always afford to make it up. Why give money to the work of God? Why fill in tax returns properly? Why tell people if you are given the wrong change? Stealing gives you the buzz.
9. Why get in un-necessary trouble when you could lie your way out of it? People shouldn't be so nosey...
10. Covet more and more, its good to have things to aim at.
that's the impression I get. If you disagree I guess you can tell me and complain.
