Indigo Incarnates
While the Ten Commandments as written in Exodus 20 makes a fine blueprint for a civilized nation, it seems to be a bit outdated in the context of modern-day Christianity. I figure that the next version of the Bible should be updated to reflect the values that Christians *actually* hold dear:
Now, I'm not saying that ALL Christians are hate-mongering, science-condemning, right-wing homophobes. I firmly believe there is a small kernel of the faithful (maybe 5% of the overall membership of Christianity) that actually worships Jesus Christ. The other 95% seems to worship the Angry Desert God of the Old Testament and pay only scant lip-service to Jesus and the Holy Spirit. Why is that? My guess is because Jesus has no hate in Him. The Holy Spirit has no hate in Her. But modern-day American Christians need validation for their racism, bigotry, fear, and homophobia. That, in my opinion, is why they refuse to accept that Jesus and the Holy Spirit forged a new way for people to live.
I've met some real Christians: Nick, Doris, Clint, Ed, Joan, and Nancy. I just wish there weren't so few of them. Heck, if mainstream Christianity actually followed the teachings of Christ, I might still be a Christian. But I didn't leave the faith. The faith turned its back on me by declaring war on homosexuals.
Maybe the American Christianity should call themselves "Religious Right Believers in YHVH" or something to that effect.
The Observed Ten Commandments:
- ONE: Thou shalt hate homosexuals with all your mind and spirit.
- TWO: Thou shalt disown one's offspring once they are known as homosexual.
- THREE: Thou shalt not respect the faiths of others, but instead thou shalt bear false witness against them as chance provides.
- FOUR: Thou shalt vote Republican in all matters of political discourse.
- FIVE: Thou shalt hold ecology and the environment in withering contempt. Thou needest not leave a prosperous Earth for thine offspring.
- SIX: Thou shalt trust in God's forgiveness for thine own faults whilest holding the faults of others in public contempt and ridicule.
- SEVEN: A man shalt have a Mistress half his age, lo' many wives if desired. A woman, however, shalt be subservient to her husband through infidelity, violence, and even death.
- EIGHT: Thou shalt blame homosexuals and witches for all manner of flood, fire, tempest, and natural disaster of any kind.
- NINE: Thou shalt withhold charity from homosexuals, witches, Democrats, liberals, and those of other faiths.
- TEN: Thou shalt not interpret the Bible in any way other than literal. Thou shalt not pay heed to contradictions in holy writ. Thou shalt not accept as valid any interpretation of Deity than this one, but instead hold in contempt all those who dare speak of it.
