I don't understand people.

I really do not understand people in general. There are people out there who say they are "of god" or "religious" who actually believe in the Death Penalty. These same people cry about a momument to the Ten Commandment being removed from state capitols. The question that comes to mind is, have you read the Ten Commandments? In case you haven't here are the Ten Commandments for your reading pleasure.

First
"I am The Lord your God, Who brought you out of the land of Egypt, out of the house of bondage. You shall have no other gods before Me."

Second
"You shall not make for yourself a graven image, or any likeness of anything that is in heaven above, or that is in the earth beneath, or that is in the water under the earth; you shall not bow down to them or serve them; for I The Lord your God am a jealous God, visiting the iniquity of the fathers upon the children to the third and the fourth generation of those who hate Me, but showing steadfast love to thousands of those who love Me and keep My Commandments."

Third
"You shall not take The Name of The Lord your God in vain; for The Lord will not hold him guiltless who takes His Name in vain."

Fourth
"Remember the Sabbath day, to keep it holy. Six days you shall labor, and do all your work; but the seventh day is a Sabbath to The Lord your God; in it you shall not do any work, you, or your son, or your daughter, your manservant, or your maidservant, or your cattle, or the sojourner who is within your gates; for in six days The Lord made heaven and earth, the sea, and all that is in them, and rested the seventh day; therefore The Lord blessed the Sabbath day and hallowed it."

Fifth
"Honor your father and your mother, that your days may be long in the land which The Lord your God gives you."

Sixth
"You shall not kill."

Seventh
"You shall not commit adultery."

Eighth
"You shall not steal."

Ninth
"You shall not bear false witness against your neighbor."

Tenth
"You shall not covet your neighbor's house; you shall not covet your neighbor's wife, or his manservant, or his maidservant, or his ox, or his ass, or anything that is your neighbor's."

(Exodus 20:2-17 RSV)

I hate to point this out but apperantly even God thinks its pretty important NOT to kill others. The bible does NOT say, ok on this one issue we allow murder. You people who picket abortion docters better for not one second say killing people is ok. Please for goodness sakes do not use the arguement. The bible also says, "An eye for an Eye", if you use that pleasae hang yourself. Does anything overule the Ten Commandments really? (When it comes to the Christian bible.) If so, is your book wrong? If you say it can't be wrong, then KILLING IS WRONG. Don't use the bible to argue with itself, either its right or its wrong. Which is it?

So who believes in the Death Penalty? Well, President Bush sure thinks its ok to kill people. That "moral" upstanding man (who also happens to hate queers) had the chance to keep people from dying while he was Governer of Texas; but you know what, he even wanted to kill mentally disabled people. What a wonderful person he is, and I am sure his God will look past all the killings that have been on his hands (Obviously the Ten Commandments don't mean shit to him.) Also you pretty much know the Ten Commandments really don't mean shit to most of you either, aren't we still killing people? Anyone like this uses religion to get what they want, then push it aside when it does NOT suit what they want.

Let me re-write the 6th commandment to help you all out.
Sixth
"You shall not kill." Unless it fits your needs; because you are all that matters.

Most likely if you believe in the Death Penalty and are also a "God Fearing" person, your just a coward and really you should be ashamed of yourself. If you really believe in god and you think its ok to kill people, sorry your going to hell.

Yup, you guessed it; killing people is wrong. Just ask God.

Until next time,
