Former Democratic presidential candidate Marianne Williamson justified another night of riots and looting in Philadelphia by claiming that theres nothing in the Bible which tells people not to steal.
Yes, really.
Numerous stores were trashed and looted while police officers were attacked again in response to the shooting of Walter Wallace Jr., who was killed after advancing towards officers with a knife.
One of the stores targeted was Chick-fil-A, despite its CEO Dan Cathy previously shining a black rappers shoes in a pro-Black Lives Matter stunt.
Responding to the looting, Williamson took to Twitter to declare, There are people in this country more concerned about a Walmart being looted than about an innocent man being killed. Many of them tout the Bible, but Thou shall not loot is not in there. Thou shalt not kill sure is.
Apparently, Williamson is unaware of the Ten Commandments, one of which literally states, Thou shalt not steal.
When respondents pointed out Williamsons embarrassing mistake, she was forced to correct herself, tweeting, Actually, Thou shalt not steal is of course in there. But my point about priorities remains the same.
Apparently, the priority for many in Philly over the last two nights has been to secure some fresh new Jordans from Footlocker and whatever was left to loot at Walmart.
All in the name of justice and Black Lives Matter, of course.
The correct translation of the 6th commandment is you shall not murder.
Protecting yourself or your family is not murder.
A more accurate translation is “thou shall not murder’ which is entirely different. But of course Democrats tend to be stupid and any time they try to bring the Bible to bear they should abject ignorance.

“Thou Shall Not Murder” is quite different in context than, “Thou Shall Not Kill.” She uses the Bible and Christians only to serve as lip service on behalf of her flawed ideology. It must be a “Mental Disorder.”
Back in my public defender days, I was appointed to represent an 17 year old wannabe gang member. Bloods or Crips. Cannot remember. He was charged along with a couple of others for stealing some things from the home of a white family. As we were discussing the crime he made this statement...if its whiteys its mine! I asked incredulously what he meant (even though I knew) and he said white people owe us, so whats theres ours:. This was back in the early 90s. Its clearly gotten worse.
“How many times does it have to say stealing is wrong?”
Once should be sufficient to an honest and earnest reader.
But liberals are not those kind of people.
Therefor, they promote such tortured and deluded justifications as, “It depends on what the meaning of “is” is”.
"So why did you not obey God? Why did you grab all this loot? Why, with Gods eyes on you all the time, did you brazenly carry out this evil?--1 Samuel 15:19
Apparently, Williamson is unaware of the Ten Commandments, one of which literally states, Thou shalt not steal.
Just a detail, apparently.
Don’t you love how atheists are always telling Christians what the Bible says.
that’s called ‘recycling’
“Thou shalt not steal!”
Next Tuesday, God willing, the real America will prevail. There must never be a Governmental attack on individual achievement again!

Not only did she do it publicly, she even reaffirmed it.
Multiply a negative by a negative and it is a positive. So yeah, ok.
That's too deep, some people run out of steam after the first three or four and never make it all the way to #8.
Ephesians 4:20-32 lays out a whole guide for godly living; not just to not steal.
