The ten commandments have been credited with being the basis of the concepts that the founding fathers incoerated into he laws of the land. In reviewing those commandments, the common thread is love and respect your fellow man. God gave each of us talents and traits unique to each, he created a diversity in his mentering of the life experiences of each of us as an individual, hence the diversity in opinions and actions. THE COMMON THREAD IN EACH INDIVIDUALS EVOLVMENT INTO THAT WHICH EACH OF US HAS BECOME IS THE BASIS OF THE TEN COMMANDMENTS. Various excerpts from the that have a familiar ring, love thy neihgbor as thyself, Do unto others as you would have them do unto you , Thou shalt not covet, etc etc. These are the connecting threads to the basis of the ten commandments. Many years ago, Jesus taught me to reject hatred and jealousy it has not always been easy, but the strength of my faith enabled me to prevail in that regard over the ong run.
Another saying within the Bible which is commonly ignored Do not udge lest yee aqlso be judged, Jesus displayed this vikrtue when he defnded the lady who the townspeople consideed to be a harlot, "let he who is without sin cast the first stone"
It appears as though our curent political establishmet has ignored the corner stone tenants of God's teaching, the division of the masses, the hatred and the deliberate disrespect of the rights given ALL by our creator tht have been created by this current crop of political figures have not shown much of the basic tenants of our faith It has been a dificult task to keep ourselves from being dragged down to the levels that many of our political figures have fallen, our display of our faith is the manner in which we conduct ourselves individually even when we disagree on things. These indeed are dificult times for the true christians to remain committed to our faith. We must open our hearts to Gods strength and rely on His guidance to properly exert that strength.
We must remember that none of us has the right to ridicule or deny any of us of those inalieble rights
