10 Commandments Day
10 Commandments Day
ghost | 5944 Reads | Is this the beginning of the end of freedom? In America thousand of people will join together in celebrating the first 10 commandments day on the 7th of May 2006. They say they are making a stand for the Ten commandments. But after some reading into it is quite clear these people will not stop until they get laws.
It is quite ironic really that these religions should be campaigning for laws enforcing the 10 commandments as they have used phrases like "the law has been done away with" or been "nailed to the cross" or "all we need is love". There clearly must be some ulterior-motive. If you look at the 10 commandments closely it becomes quite clear what these people are after.
The 10 commandments say:
- Have no other gods other than God
- Don't make immage to worship (basically same as above)
- Do not take God's name in vain. (So no more OMFGz0r :( )
- Remember the sabbath day
- Respect your mum and Dad
- Do not kill
- Do not commit Adultery
- Do not steal
- Do not lie
- Do not covet (or crave) other peoples stuff.
These may sound like a good set of rules to live by but when put into laws these can become harsh and press the boundries of liberty and free speech.
Could you immagine being made to go to church by law, fined for saying "oh my God!" or "for Christ's sake!". The sorry situation is that this is being hid under a outershell of "Do not kill", "Do not steal" ect. which when it comes to the crunch we all agree shouldn't happen but by using religion to make the world a better place things will only get worse.

I did some more research and found out that at one time in Virginia, US, they used to have a Sunday Law. It was punishable by death. I hope this doesn't come around again. All it takes is a natural disaster or terrorists to get these people saying "God is unpleased and we need to be more religious".
Religion should be kept to ones self not enforced by law.

think about what religion has given us….war, prejudice, peodphilic priests, controlled lifestyle, murderers, witch hunts, terrorism…. the list goes on.

I think I would be in a lot of trouble if I were American! I am atheist and do not think there is a singular power. Each person is his (or her) own person. Religion is just a means of controlling the general populace. Then again that is just me ;) and I am crazy sometimes.B)
Enjoyed the article though cube!

Cheese, what about morals? The list only came out with the breakdown of religion. All it proves is that you can't have a half hearted approch. Also I think you'll find it's only christianity that caused all these problems :D

Number 1 is actually "Thou shalt not worship false idols". Just thought I'd let you know lol. Great work though, I hope this don't happen!

wolfmankurd - every sane person in existence has morales and ethics, regardless of their religious or non religious orientation. Also, i think you'll find all religions cause problems in one way or another. Islam vs Jews etc.. Its not just christianity.

Religion cause a lot of problem … not just now …
If their were no chrsitian religion we will probably all lived in a big empire named Rome because it christian that made this empire crash and fall into the darkest period of our history (Medieval Age).
This is maybe the only thing I remember of my history course but its still a big fact about the christian religion.

part of being free is letting people believe what they want to believe. it looks like they're just trying to defend their right to put the ten commandments in public. nobody ever said they were forcing people to accept them or live by them. and the witch hunts, crusades, etc only happened because "religion" was distorted, misinterpreted and taken to the extreme…if everyone is forced to believe or accept one thing (like what hitler did) then millions of people die. this whole "ten commandments day" thing is just people standing up for their freedom. it's true the government shouldn't force religion on people, but having the ten commandments in public is simply exercising one's freedom of speech. i'm open to debating this if someone wants to talk about it. :D

I think there should be some more belief in a higher power in America, I believe it would make others be more respectful to there fellow man.

i think everyone religion should be kept for himself and if roman ruled the world and there was no christianity you wouldnt know what will happen , rome didnt take over far east places , roman empire was full of traitors and over the centuries there was murders of ceaserz , then came the islamic crap and attacked rome there is war anyway ……….. …… . there was going to be warz if christianiy came or if it doesnt came , open your closed minds ,there was inside rome the rebels they were fighting against rome ….
