These starkly contrast the Ten Commandments of the Bible: - Thou Shalt Not Make Any Judgement Regarding Most Private Personal Behavior. Man/Woman Is The Master/Mistress fo the Universe and His/Her Gratification Is Paramount - Thou Shalt Not Worship or Acknowledge God in the Public Square, for Such an Exposition Could Be Offensive to Humankind - Thou Shalt Take from the Rich and Give to the Poor. No Private Property is Sacrosanct - Thou Shalt Circumvent Mother and Father in Personal Issues Such As Abortion and Sex Education in Schools - Thou Shalt Kill if Necessary to Promote Individual Rights in Cases of Abortion and Euthanasia - Thou Shalt Be Allowed to Bear False Witness Against Thy Neighbor if That Person Stand Against Secular Humanism - Thou Shalt Not Wage Premetive War in Any Circumstance (the UN determines when war is necessary) - Thou Shalt Not Impede the Free Movement of Any Human Being on Earth. All Countries Should Be Welcoming Places Without Borders - Thou Shalt Not Prohibit Narcotics or Impede Personal Gratification in This Area - Thou Shalt Not Limit the Power of Government in Order to Provide "Prosperity" to all (the government is obligated to provide and take care of everyone) |

you know, i often think about this...sorta...like there's a part of me that wants to just stop the madness, but then there's the other part that wants to say just do it so we can hurry up and be done with it already...man, i can't wait for this nonsensical mess to be done with so we can live the way God wants! |

I just bought the book. I hope to start reading it soon. I am really looking forward to it. My DSL modem crashed, so I am back on dial up until the new modem comes....will probably be reading as it takes TOO long for the dial up to load any of the good stuff. <_< |

Getting close to done with it. There are a good many things that get you pretty ticked off! The chapter about the kids being abused realy gets ya ticked off. The theory of the SP's that it's not the fault of the child molestors. ALL of crime is society's problem, and that prison time will do no good - therapy is the way to rid them of their "disease". Cmouse, it just don't seem right to just let it happen. I look at it like committing suicide or substance abuse. You don't like life, so you end it or go into your own little world. And that's not exactly what the Lord intended on us. |

What kills me about child molesters and rapists is THERE IS NO EFFECTIVE TREATMENT!!!!! None - Zip - Zilch - NADA!!! Nothing that even curves their thoughts....Nothing even helps them even 10% - NOTHING HELPS - that is serious. over 95% commit their crime again - the other 5% were probably charged and convicted in error BECAUSE THEY ALL DO IT AGAIN!!!!!! See I don't even have to read the book to get fired up about that!!!! Worked with abused kids for 16 years!!!! The sickos never change. |

Man, you better keep any loose items away from arm's reach while reading the book! Damage will occur.
