My Thoughts On How America Has Broken The Ten Commandments

Bible reference from Exodus 20 verses 1-17, New King James

1. "I am the Lord your God....You shall have no other gods before Me" - Worship of allah, Budda, Mohammad, Satan and self. Praising movie stars, rock stars, Presidents, money.
2. You shall not make for yourself a carved image - Statues, pictures, symbols, etc. (Used for worship)
3. You shall not take the name of the Lord your God in vain - profanity, jokes, phrases, idle talk.
4. Remember the Sabbath - Drop in church attendance, businesses open 7 days a week, causing employees to work longer hours and more days. Over scheduling of time, leading to lack of proper rest, relaxation, and spiritual renewal.
5. Honor your father and mother - Loss of respect and trust, increased violence toward parents, systematic removal of parental rights, crime against the elderly.
6. You shall not murder - Abortion, gangs, serial killings, assassinations.
7. You shall not commit adultery - Extra marital affairs, pornography, prostitution, sexually explicit advertising.
8. You shall not steal - Auto theft, burglary, embezzlement, money laundering, bribery, corruption in businesses, government, community organizations, voter fraud, tax evasion.
9. You shall not bear false witness against your neighbor - Slander, gossip, celebrity newspaper rags, countries blaming other countries for the woes of the world.
10. You shall not covet - This list could go on forever! Spread the wealth, communism, monopolies, punishing high achievers, stealing. That's just a few.
So dear blog readers, this is the deal. Think about your life in America, or anywhere else in the world, and let me know if you notice any of the points made here. Better yet, let me know of some that haven't been addressed in this post.
