We stand at crossroads in our nation today. We have a generation or two that have never heard nor studied the real constitution or the bill of rights. And sadly they have been taught we are a democracy and not a republic. 
    They do not know of the checks and balances that were set in plaice nor the fact that there is no guarantee of ones happiness. We have the right to seek it, pursue it , and want it but there is no guarantee. They are told of the government guarantee of care.  We were given many other lofty rights one being that government shall make no laws restricting the free practice of religion, yet they have done just that.  Not by congressional order but by decree. Yes, one branch of our government has usurped the power of the other, something they were never to do. Congress has allowed this to happen out of weakness and fear.

                Has anyone ever read the Ten Commandments and asked what religion is proposed? Whose god is to be worshipped? Even at that why is it offending? I have never seen anyone arrested nor beaten by a mob for not doing. Yet I can name one where if you deny it you can lose your life your freedom and never know happiness.

Perhaps it is the fourth commandment that really offends the one that say to remember the Sabbath one day of rest? The unions must be against this for they want two or more, but this one command guarantees at least one.Perhaps the christians are secretly offended for it speaks of the no longer held as remembered Jewish Sabbath.

 Perhaps it is the next one where children are told to honor your mother and father. This one offends those groups seeking the lowering of the age limits making children fair game for most predators. Or too those not wanting parental notification of certain acts such as abortion and birth control. But why is it deemed an offense to teach children to respect the adults in their life? Or take that same respect outside the home?

Then I asked is it those who feel they have the right to commit adultery and display it as a natural act of any and all adults bored with their spouse. When clearly the command is do not do it, many a man is offended by the teaching for they enjoy doing it.

Next in line is the command you shall not do murder, after an odd placement don’t you think? Perhaps it is there for this reason; when one is caught in an adulteress affair one in effect kills or murders the one whom you swore your undying love and trust. Why use the word murder and not kill? Murder is a chosen plan and open choice to take a human life. We kill cows and chickens for food we do not kill man to eat we murder him we plan it for personal gain or pleasure.

Next comes the final three stealing, lying, and coveting the last of the ten all by products of the above. All coming and growing out of the fact one has never learned to respect ones parents or elders. Yes the ten offend for in them we see ourselves and without them we are comfortable for we do not need to see what we really are.

As too the first three what one desires most is ones true god, the image or form it takes maybe money cars home and anything you feel you must have, Many will do nothing until they have satisfied or bowed and praised their god. So the three can be telling in many ways for they point that which we value most above our fellow man.
