  1. A quotation from The Bible

    I give you a new commandment: love one another; you must love one another just as I have loved you. It is by your love for one another, that everyone will recognise you as my disciples.
     
    [Ἐντολὴν καινὴν δίδωμι ὑμῖν ἵνα ἀγαπᾶτε ἀλλήλους καθὼς ἠγάπησα ὑμᾶς ἵνα καὶ ὑμεῖς ἀγαπᾶτε ἀλλήλους. ἐν τούτῳ γνώσονται πάντες ὅτι ἐμοὶ μαθηταί ἐστε ἐὰν ἀγάπην ἔχητε ἐν ἀλλήλοις.]

    The Bible (The New Testament) (AD 1st - 2nd C) Christian sacred scripture
    John 13: 34-35 (Jesus) [NJB (1985)]

  5. A quotation from Robert Ingersoll

    They say that God says to me, “Forgive your enemies.” I say, “I do;” but he says, “I will damn mine.” God should be consistent. If he wants me to forgive my enemies he should forgive his. I am asked to forgive enemies who can hurt me. God is only asked to forgive enemies who cannot hurt him. He certainly ought to be as generous as he asks us to be. And I want no God to forgive me unless I am willing to forgive others, and unless I do forgive others. All I ask, if that be true, is that this God should act according to his own doctrine.

    Robert Green Ingersoll (1833-1899) American lawyer, freethinker, orator

  8. "Whoever experiences mystery and commandment becomes unique among men, different, an individual within the world ... Whoever experiences both, both in unity, lives in the world and yet is different."

  9. A quotation from Hannah Arendt

    And just as the law in civilized countries assumes that the voice of conscience tells everybody, “Thou shalt not kill,” even though man’s natural desires and inclinations may at times be murderous, so the law of Hitler’s land demanded that the voice of conscience tell everybody: “Thou shalt kill,” although the organizers of the massacres knew full well that murder is against the normal desires and inclinations of most people. Evil in the Third Reich had lost the quality by which most people recognize it — the quality of temptation.

    Hannah Arendt (1906-1975) German-American philosopher, political theorist
    Eichmann in Jerusalem: A Report on the Banality of Evil, ch. 8 (1963)

  11. @br00t4c
    I think the schools being mandated to teach the #10Commandments should have a nice long discussion about T**** and the 7th #Commandment (#Adultery.)

    Though I'm not sure how you explain "Adultery" to Elementary students w/o running afoul of yet another #GOP law. 🤔

  12. @br00t4c
    I'm thinking that T****'s deliberate ignoring of the #Covid #pandemic, holding crowded indoor rallies w/o mandating masking, and begging the #CDC to "slow the testing down" b/c the daily death toll reports were hurting his poll numbers...

    ...qualifies as breaking the 6th #Commandment ("Shalt Not Kill.")

    So, yeah, he has violated all 10. 😡

  13. A quotation from Bible, vol. 1, Old Testament:

    «
    How long will you judge unjustly
    and show partiality to the wicked? Selah
    Give justice to the weak and the orphan;
    maintain the right of the lowly and the destitute.
    Rescue the weak and the needy;
    deliver them from the hand of the wicked.

  14. A quotation from Bible:

    «««««
    How does God’s love abide in anyone who has the world’s goods and sees a brother or sister in need and yet refuses help? Little children, let us love, not in word or speech, but in truth and action.

  15. Alleging a group of people are all "#groomers" is among the most vile false witnesses against one's neighbors.

    If only there were some sort of #commandment against bearing such hateful false witness.
