Let's talk MORAL VALUES
-You Shall Not Kill (need an explanation?)
-You Shall Not Steal (Haliburton)
-You Shall Not Covet Your Neighbor's House, ... or anything that is your neighbor's
----------taken from the 10 Commandments
some more Christian beliefs:
-Do unto others as you would have them do unto you
-Judge not lest you be judged
Then there's some other highly moral people out there who would be openly opposed to the religious right views:
Martin Luther King:
-"Non-violence in the truest sense is not a strategy that one uses simply because it is expedient at the moment; non-violence is ultimately a way of life that men live by because of the sheer morality of its claim.."
Gandhi:
-"Non-violence is the law of our species as violence is the law of the brute. The spirit lies dormant in the brute and it knows no law but that of physical might. The dignity of man requires obedience to a higher law, to the strength of the spirit."
I am personally offended that because I support equal rights for ALL people, because I value the inherent worth of ALL living things, and because I believe that legalized discrimination is morally wrong, that I am not a moral person. Yet people who support this Administration, the most amoral Administration imo that we've ever had, say they base their opinion on the President's morality?
Is it okay to use God's name to promote hate?
