-Caveat Lector- ----- Original Message ----- From: Bard <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> > 2. Should the Ten Commandments be displayed in public schools? Which version? Jewish, Catholic, Protestant? Which translation? Douay, King James, New Revised Standard, New World, Klingon, all? Which religious group(s) should gov't promote? If the Judeo-Xian doctrines are to be posted, why not also post passages of Q'uran, Gitas/Upanishads, Sutras, Zuni/Hopi/Apache lore, other religious texts - or are those religions to be subordinated, suppressed? How seriously should the Decalogue [whatever version] be taken? "You shall not make for yourself a graven image, or any likeness of anything that is in heaven above, or that is in the water under the earth" [Ex.20:4, RSV] Shall all images, maps, charts, be removed from schools, from all public buildings, from all of US life? Are fingerprints, ID photos, portraits, all sinful? Must all books containing images be burned? Or does the "make no image" proscription only apply to Judeo/Xians, so they are allowed to LOOK at images made by people who AREN'T Judeo/Xians? "Remember the sabbath day, to keep it holy." [Ex.20:8, RSV] When does the sabbath day start and end? Who decides? Should all public and private institutions shut down on the sabbath - power/water/communications sites, hospitals/airports/police, theatre/sports, farms/factories/shops, everything? Are Hindus, Buddhists, Pagans, Scientologists, Atheists, Taoists, Muslims, bound by this Judeo/Xian rule - is it to be imposed on all in the US? Then why not impose ALL Judeo/Xian rules on everybody in the US - the next step is forced conversions, eh? "You shall not covet your neighbor's house.. wife... manservant... maidservant... ox... ass, or anything that is your neighbor's. [Ex.20:17, RSV] Is thought a crime? Is 'coveting' a sin equal to 'taking'? Is 'intent' the same as 'commission'? If so, then isn't 'intending' to do something the same as having actually DONE it? Then, isn't just THINKING about engaging in rebellion the same as having ACTIVELY engaged in rebellion - treason by thought? Then can't the theocracy execute you for your thoughts? I repeat - a conspiracy exists, a conspiracy to centralize power and control in the hands of theocrats, of American Ayatollahs; a wily conspiracy that employs many tools, many strategies, one of which is to propound the notion that a set of rules selected by the American Ayatollahs should be binding on everyone within the grasp of their power, that their religious doctrines should be imposed on EVERYONE, regardless of individual beliefs. Classic tools of disinformation, agit-prop, mind-control are employed. DECLARATION & DISCLAIMER ========== CTRL is a discussion and informational exchange list.
