  1. Whether it is the 10 Suggestions or the Ten Commandments is important. Nonetheless, we live in a country that by law and court decisions government insists that it will disobey the commandments and that we must participate by our financial support and acquiescence. This is a dilemma for me and one reason why I hesitate to do anything further for the benefit of this country or its citizens. We may have reached the point where an indignant and offended God would blot out this country and its memory. The five lawyers in black robes pretending to be gods can rule all they want but the real One will have the last word.

    I can hear some objections now: what a cruel God (that would destroy evil!)

  2. I am so glad to see that Gunslinger understands - and posts - the difference between "Tho shalt not murder" vs "Thou shalt not kill" I don't know when or who slipped in the incorrect "thou shalt not kill", but it had to be some 6th Century flower child (or similar subset of liberal).
