Thou Shalt Not

The Christian faith is full of wisdom for one who has the patience to listen to its teachings. Said the Christ:

"If you love those who love you, what credit is that to you? Even sinners love those who love them. And if you do good to those who are good to you, what credit is that to you? Even sinners do that. And if you lend to those from whom you expect repayment, what credit is that to you? Even sinners lend to sinners, expecting to be repaid in full. But love your enemies, do good to them, and lend to them without expecting to get anything back. Then your reward will be great, and you will be sons of the Most High, because he is kind to the ungrateful and wicked. Be merciful, just as your Father is merciful."

The clear, peaceful teachings of the Christ make the warmongering cries of those that raise his banner even harder to stomach. Mr. Pat Robertson, how can you say you are the spokesman of Christ? How does your speech follow his teachings? How can you stand in front of admiring crowds and read to them the words of Jesus above, when you advocate the execution of Hugo Chavez, saying:

"If he thinks we're trying to assassinate him, I think that we really ought to go ahead and do it...It's a whole lot cheaper than starting a war. And I don't think any oil shipments will stop."
