Whow Sniffit - very good and analytic arguments.
I don't know if Moses really has got the TEN COMMANDMENTS directly out of the burning bush, or if at anytime someone in the dark past has written these commandments. But today I'm convinced these commandments are the cornerstones of our society.
I told you that I'm a believer in GOD but not in the instituion of the church - which church soever! I don't like the pomp of the official churches from every religious orientation. The catholic church sermonized to his simple members humility and submission. I'm a free man and I don't never ever humbly subjugating to any organisation - as well not to the church.
But this is not a contradiction for me to believe in GOD. And I asked before - what is GOD? An old man with a long white beard? Surely not! I think GOD is all the good things in ourselves. As we act, as we react! And that will be in my opinion the task of the ten commandments - to teach us to do the right things. And I mean all of us.
You are totally right Sniffit - there is no commandment against Homosexuality, or against black, brown, red or yellow people. Princes of the Church have made such special "commandments" and to every times through the history of mankind they have found keen followers.
They have responded to the anxieties of the simple people towards the strange customs of jews for instance. Or better towards every stranger.
But today we are sophisticated, at least I hope so, and there is no must for us to follow these Pied Pipers. And as well there is no need for us to disregard the Ten Commandments.
We are here a world wide gay-community - let us try to be better than those who will chase us. Let us try to show all these obstinate priests and blind church followers that we will be the better people. It will be very hard to do so, I know. And I for myself know that very often I have contravened against my own point of view. But I'll try too to work on myself. I'll try ....... And if we all do so, then I know, we will fill the TEN COMMANDMENTS with real life.
