Pat Robertson & the Ten Commandments

[zbdent]

The past few years, we've been hearing about how wonderful this country would be if we would only post the Ten Commandments on every damn street corner and on every public building.

(Kinda funny how the NRA says the signs saying "No Weapons Allowed" won't stop a criminal from breaking the law . . .)

So, you have the commandment "Thou Shalt Not Kill". Fairly straightforward and simple. So simple, a freeper might even be able to grasp it.

Along comes Pat "Kill! Kill! Kill!" Robertson with his call to assassinate a leader of a country just because he doesn't agree with George W. Bush. Can you say nuance?

Suddenly, you hear all the backtracking and "spin" or "lawyering" of the Ten Commandments. I thought that they were supposed to be pretty simple, right? Please, the general population was not literate for quite some time. (Damn those liberal public school systems, trying to teach the serfs to read). So you had to dumb it down to get it through the uneducated heads.

"Thou shalt not kill? Well, it really means Thou shalt not commit murder."

"Uh, well, it really means that you cannot kill when it's not sanctioned by the Church."

Will someone please tell that one judge to drop his granite copy of the Ten Commandments on Pat Robertson's toe? Thank you . . .

3. Kill all the "commies." They're not God's children.

Chavez must be the spawn of Satan. We don't have to show Christian love to the enemies of Bush/God.
