The 10 Commadments for the Religious Right

1

I am the Lord your God, who brought you through the Cold War and defeated those godless communists. I hate those who you hate and love those who give you political donations. Here are my commandments for you:

  1. I am the Lord your God. You shall not allow into office anyone who puts any other gods before me or who does not believe in me.
  2. You shall place my graven image and other symbols of me and my scriptures in all public places.
  3. You shall take the name of the Lord your God in vain in every speech you give, every proclamation you write, at the start of every public meeting, in the Pledge of Allegiance, and on your money, for the Lord will not hold him guiltless who refuses to take his name in vain.
  4. Remember the Christmas Day and keep the Christ in it. 60 days you shall extort as much money as you can from the people, but Christmas a celebration of the birth of the son of the Lord your God on a day stolen from the pagans.
  5. Honor your father and your mother, but restrict their access to health care and the meager pension they receive.
  6. You shall not kill rich white men.
  7. You shall not get caught for committing adultery, for that would threaten the sanctity of marriage, much like letting the gays get married.
  8. You shall not tax the rich.
  9. You shall not bear false witness against your neighbor, unless it brings you wealth or serves to subjugate women, gays, and the poor.
  10. You shall covet your neighbor’s wealth, for it will serve to motivate you.

  1. No, it is not possible to ovdroese on truth, logic, and reason. It is also not possible for people who accept beliefs on faith to examine them under the scrutiny of reason. Allow? I am not stopping you from thinking anyway you wish. How can anyone except a clergyman using religion interfere with anyone’s thinking patterns?Curmudgeonly? If you knew me you would know how much this word does not apply to me. At least you did understand the part about a virus to some extent.I compare religious belief with a virus. Just as a computer can incur a virus which manipulates the programming, so does the virus of the mind.When you are able to examine your unsubstantiated faith under the light of reason, in respect to the truth, then you will be on your way to mental health again.
