How the left revels in violating the 10 Commandments

With Americans transfixed by election melodrama, especially on the Republican side, this would be a great time to pause for just a few minutes and seriously consider – possibly for the first time – this absolutely bizarre thing we call “the left.”

The left, righteously posing as protectors of women, blacks, gays, students, immigrants, the poor and other societal “victims” (while demonizing conservatives and Christians as selfish, racist, anti-science, anti-woman, anti-immigrant and homophobic), in reality is the primary cause of the vast majority of the misery, suffering and injustice it claims to oppose.

I document this stunning cause-and-effect relationship definitively in “The Snapping of the American Mind,” and since the book’s publication in October, the evidence just continues to pour in, confirming my thesis that not only is the left mad, but it is literally driving tens of millions of Americans right over the edge as well. As Rush Limbaugh put it recently, “… liberalism is driving people insane. It’s literally driving them insane.”

But this should not in any way surprise us. Because if we delve just a little deeper into the subject, we’ll see that the left’s efforts at “fundamental transformation” couldn’t possibly have any other effect on America than to deceive, corrupt, enslave and break millions of human beings – body, mind and soul. And that is because the political and cultural left – I’m talking now about people animated by the worldview, policies, strategies and deepest motivations of people like Barack Obama and Hillary Clinton – simply cannot operate without violating all of the Ten Commandments.

You may never have thought of it that way before. So let’s take a close look:

I’m sorry, I was interested in what you thought the Bible taught on the sabbath, not someone’s catechism, Roman Catholic, I presume.

Thanks again for your responses.

I will take Jesus’ word over what you are quoting any day. With Jesus, things changed.

Got it?

[SkyPilot]

Jesus Christ never, ever eliminated the second commandment from holy Scripture, that Jesus Christ himself as God wrote. Ever. Got it? The Catholic Church did that. They didn’t like the second commandment because it interfered with their plethora of statues, icons, idols, and all the rest. So they rewrote the Ten Commandments from the original holy writ, and made two commandments out of the 10th so they added up to 10. If that isn’t blasphemy against God I don’t know what it is.

You’re welcome, it was a nice chat. If you’d like to share your own opinion, that would be informative, too.

Warning: The following opinions may be offensive to some FReepers.

The "Ten Commandments" (`Aseret HaDibberot) actually don't apply to non-Jews, but in both it and the Seven Noahide Laws the first commandment is the prohibition of idolatry. And ironically, when it comes to this first and most important commandment the Right in America is as guilty as the Left.

In traditional American ideology, the "right" to commit idolatry (to worship something other than the One True G-d) is regarded as the first and most basic "G-d-given right"--"religious freedom." Part of this is because Evangelical Protestantism has replaced statutory religion with an "offer of salvation"--which each individual is perfectly free to reject.

Another reason--and perhaps the most basic--is the relativism which centuries of religious chaos has engendered. There are so many opinions--so many ways of reading the bible (and don't feel too smug liturgical chrstians; there are four separate interpretations of tradition and theology in your camp as well)--that most people believe there is no way to know objective religious Truth and that we won't know for sure who was right and who was wrong until we're dead (G-d forbid).

All this is a consequence of the rejection of the simple objective statutory religion G-d gave in the very beginning for any number of "prophesied 'fulfillments.'"

We didn't arrive in our current mess out of nowhere. There was something wrong to begin with, and the only way out of this mess to to deal with it. Sorry, but the 50s aren't coming back. The 50s were part of the decay to begin with.

It is one thing to be a sinner. It is another to brazenly build your life on sin.
That is something I have been thinking about recently, after reading a book about the abandoned wife and children of the poet Lord Byron.

I had a discussion with a young pastor from a conservative denomination. I told him a story of another pastor dressing up in women’s clothes for a Sunday evening outreach (Methodist and there is more to the story) This young pastor absolutely would not say it was wrong or a sin. But he did say it was bad judgment and he wouldn’t do it. But as much as I pressed in, he would not use the word WRONG, let alone the word SIN.

I asked for any scenario in which a pastor dressing up in women’s clothes would honor God. He actually said to me, “if it brings a few people into the church...........”

There is no repentance from bad judgment..............

The point being that the younger generation even in our churches has been infected by the world. I would encourage others to have conversations bout what is right and wrong, it might be surprising.

It is true that it is very difficult to get young people to take a clear stand regarding something’s being wrong, unless it’s something like, “It’s totally wrong for you not to buy me ...”.

First world problems, I think. I was talking to a fellow church member at our picnic on Saturday evening, and he mentioned that he had lived in Pakistan. Every native Pakistani member of his church had been beaten, mutilated, or tortured by Moslems. “They were afraid to touch foreigners,” he added.
