Thou Shall Not Kill... The Commandment without ANY QUALIFIERS...

The Ten Commandments is not monument to decorate our lawns or to satisfy our egos... The Ten Commandments is not a supposed to be an initiation to hate or to exclude people from society...                                                                               The Ten Commandments must be a way of life... and smashing of the erected monument is exposing human hypocrisy and bureaucratic stupidity and ruling class (the 1%) dictatorship...

Ten Commandments Monument Lasted Less Than 24 Hours

The Ten Commandments have become 
political tools for Evangelical zealots and 
conservative politicians... Because of their 
majorities in the state parliaments... They 
are acting like fascist dictators...

Less than a day after a monument of the 
Ten Commandments was installed 
outside the Arkansas State Capitol in 
Little Rock, it was destroyed when a 
man smashed a car into the stone.

Sweden’s Radical Weapons Plan

Sweden is poised to take a radical step: imposing a “legislative ban on selling weapons to undemocratic regimes,” writes Leonid Bershidsky for Bloomberg View. Other countries wishing to score some soft power points should follow its lead. “Big Western arms exporters…may feel it would be unwise to subscribe to the kind of self-restrictions that Sweden is imposing and leave a large chunk of the global arms market to competitors such as Russia and China, which have no qualms about supplying any buyers as long as they’re not hostile to these countries,” Bershidsky says. “One could argue that weapons from these competitors are just as deadly, so repressive regimes’ military power would be undiminished and Western nations would merely lose revenue and jobs. Long-standing alliances would also be soured. Moral arguments are especially unpopular with the Trump administration.” “On the other hand, as the global center of soft power and moral leadership shifts to Europe, the leading European Union nations might like to make a point of only arming fellow democracies.” ***************************************************************** Let me just remind all... The Ten Commandments is not a stylish table erected in parks... If law makers, leaders, clergy, politicians... Presidents and Popes and all the people... of the world... should make it a living and breathing practice... Take just one of the commandments... "Thou shall NOT kill..." Very simple and straight forward... There are not qualifiers with it... which means: Thou shall not kill in wars... Thou shall not execute people for their crime... The mediocrity in leaders is a very dangerous phenomenon... half-educated people are extremely hazardous to the political norms and they generate half-truths which undermine our social norms and dislocate... disrupt the social mores... Erecting the Ten Commandments is generating hate... and rejecting the rest of society... making the rest of society as the dispensable others... The news above includes the phrase..." Western nations would merely lose revenue and jobs..." The commandment insists... Thou shall not kill... Not for revenue and not for providing jobs... In the Field of Dreams it says; "Build it and they will come..." and indeed if you manufacture weapons... you will use it... and when you use it, YOU WILL KILL... There are no good weapons that provide revenue and jobs... The revenue is BLOOD MONEY... and the jobs are just people washing their hands of our murderous culture and our the killing responsibilities...                  Christ before Pilate, Mihály Munkácsy, 1881... and eventually Pontius Pilate washed his hands... **************************************************************************************** Recently there was an arms deal with Saudi Arabia for over 100 billion dollars...  Saudi Arabia is a brutal monarchy... where human freedoms are trampled every day... where women have no rights as individuals... where people are stoned and bloggers are persecuted...  Saudi Arabia its allies have initiated the most extreme interpretation of Islam and have provided terrorists and monies for the Jihadist cause... They have attacked the U.S. and other "Western democracies..." Being their ally and selling weapons to them is immoral and inhuman... Saudi Arabia is as vicious as Iran... Saudi Arabia and Iran and Turkey are the propagators of Jihadist Islam... and are unreliable regimes... where human rights... and women's rights... and minority rights... and LGBTQ rights are suppressed... and denied... REVENUE and JOBS should not be immoral... inhuman... Greed and Profits should not dictate policies...  Human rights and human dignity must prevail... and we should not hide behind the fig leaves of Ten Commandment monuments... ****************************************************************************************

China’s Navy Unveils Shiny New Toy China launched the first of a new generation of destroyers on Wednesday, which Reuters reports is “the most advanced and largest warship in Asia, the latest addition to the country’s rapidly expanding navy,” according to China's military.

Since when a killing machine is a "shiny... toy...?"

The immorality of the news media equals the greed of the 1%...  and the so called "free press" of the Western Democracies... is a tool for the 1% to lull the people and make them feel good...

Pope Francis angered by the name of the bomb America's 'mother of all bombs' name

Pope Francis has criticised the naming of the US military's largest non-nuclear explosive ever used in combat as "the mother of all bombs". "I was ashamed when I heard the name," the pontiff told an audience of students at the Vatican. "A mother gives life and this one gives death, and we call this device a mother. What is going on?" he asked. Last month the US dropped such a bomb, which weighs 21,600lb (9,800kg), on Islamic State militants in Afghanistan.

I will not defend the church... I believe that organised religion is evil... But the Pope has a point... naming the bomb as mother... is immoral... is inhuman...         Mothers do not kill... should not kill...        *********************************** Ban the wars... and instead of erecting monuments of the Ten Commandments... live by it... after all, Thou Shall Not Kill...
