MilesTones - A new and improved Ten Commandments
By Rev. Austin Miles
Jerry Newcombe's current story, A Secular 10 Commandments (http://revaustinmiles.com/ index.php/more/469 ) unlocked the recesses of deep thought from years ago when some ideas hatched by MilesTones were posted about the 10 Commandments hooroar,(thanks to the old Pogo comic strip for that word) that was and still is taking place.
It had been widely reported that Alabama Chief Justice Roy Moore's Ten Commandments monument had been removed from public view at the state courthouse in Montgomery which followed with a Sieg Heil March across America, vacating any stone monuments or even framed copies from public view. Except, strangely enough, on the front and inside of the Supreme Court!
The ACLU may have a point. The old commandments are not only restrictive and out of order, dontcha know, but personally oppressive for politicians. Such antiquated laws are a threat to freedom and must go. Power to the people!
To assist in alleviating this travesty of justice, MilesTones respectfully submits this re-worked more politically correct version of the classic text that will greatly satisfy the Obama Administration.,
May we approach the bench?
Thank you.
Here is our suggestion for the new improved commandments that will better serve the needs and desires of today's society:
