Not very PC. Second, Theres another commandment your leaving out. Thou shalt not make gods of silver and gold. Which means idols. And those include. (something that bugs me) crosses, sculptures, and so forth. Most people pass this one over, so I thought I'd through it in here. Past that, I agree, the country was founded on religion. And we've strayed a long way.Axllehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/09234399578024262911noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-27352415.post-71336244034186620662009-03-04T13:00:00.000-08:002009-03-04T13:00:00.000-08:00i agree with you - i think the country felt alot m...i agree with you - i think the country felt alot more united then, i think by striving to be so politically correct all the time we really separate from each other furtherAmberhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/11692897932694365285noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-27352415.post-89949347806775444132009-03-04T10:11:00.000-08:002009-03-04T10:11:00.000-08:00Ramana,The term "fear God" can be very misleading....Ramana,<BR/>The term "fear God" can be very misleading. It doesn't necessarily mean to be afraid of Him, but it means to do exactly what you said, to surrender to His will and be obedient.<BR/><BR/>I still believe that politically correct or not, we should still believe in God as a nation. That is what our nation was founded upon. Our forefathers came to this land to worship God freely, and interjected this belief in to our very constitution. Further, in my religion we believe that our freedom as a nation is dependent upon our "fearing" God. When this nation loses this moral compass, we lose the blessings that God has bestowed upon this land.Delirioushttps://www.blogger.com/profile/01564398770468606675noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-27352415.post-49592609337295260602009-03-04T08:27:00.000-08:002009-03-04T08:27:00.000-08:00Two observations Delirious.

The second - ""Thou shalt have no other gods before me" could also be interpreted as there is nothing other than God. Not that there is one God, but Only God. If you can see yourself agreeing to that hypothesis, then everything is worthy of worship as nothing can be different from God. It is simply a matter of the emotion involved in worship.<BR/><BR/>The tone that as a nation we pray for the safety of something important having gone into history however is a sad development. Politically correct behavior seems to deny the truth, not only in your country, but in ours too.Ramana Rajgopaulhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/07595611334904650281noreply@blogger.com
