THE SEVEN COMMANDMENTS

What’s the problem with allowing the Ten Commandments to be seen in government buildings…or to be seen ANYWHERE, if the ACLU has its way.

Take a look at those few lines. If the Godless are “offended” by numbers one, two and three, what if we put just numbers four through ten on public billboards. What if we left off number one…to have no other gods before me…number two, to make no graven image…and number three not to take our God’s name in vain, that should satisfy those duds who are so easily offended.

That would leave four through ten for EVERYbody…even the ACLU people. Because number four…to remember the Sabbath day…even the worst non-believer wants that one in, because it gets him or her a day off, or time-and-a-half, or even double-time pay if they work. That’s proof enough that everyone wants that one.

Then from numbers five through ten, common sense would let those stay…honor your parents, don’t kill, don’t commit adultery, don’t steal, and don’t covet your neighbor’s stuff. Of course, letting them stay wouldn’t stop the Godless from breaking them, but surely they admit that these are everyday, every-person things that would make the world better if they were followed.

That would leave us with The Seven Commandments. You know, those who are so offended don’t have a corner on being offended; so I’M offended just thinking about cutting out any of the Ten. Why don’t we Christians march on Washington. Well, for starters, we’d get arrested.
