fifth commandment

The fifth commandment states, “Thou shall not kill.”  The fifth commandment is about more than just not killing each other; it is about general respect and dignity towards human life.  Many forget this and violate the fifth commandment through abortion, racism, and/or assisted suicide.

            Racism is just stupid; there is no point for it.  Racism is just ignorant people, who know nothing.  We are ALL created by God, making us all brothers and sisters, so why would you hate your brothers and sisters?  Racism means you are not respecting the life of another (or group) because of religion, ethnicity, and/or skin color.  Racism has led to so many terrible injustices in the past, like the genocide of Jews in Nazi Germany, the hangings of Blacks by the Ku Klux Klan in the south, the genocide in Darfur, and 9/11.  If we all just loved a little more and hated a little less, the world would a much nicer place to live, really.

            Assisted Suicide is when someone who is suffering asks for another’s help in ending their life.  I understand you maybe a paraplegic and never move again, or have some terrible disease like Parkinson’s but that does not mean you have the right to take your own life.  It’s called assisted SUICIDE, emphasis on suicide, which is a sin and an automatic ticket to Hell, have fun.  When one takes their own life, they end any chance they have at eternal life in heaven with God.  Jesus had nails driven through his hands and feet, then hung on a cross for hours before he died all for us.  So I’m pretty sure any suffering you have here on earth is not at all as bad as Christ’s, so offer that suffering up to God and look forward to eternal life.  As Kelly Clarkson says “What doesn’t kill you makes you stronger.”

Abortion is the killing of an innocent baby while it is still inside the womb.  Everyone knows that if you have sex there is the chance of becoming pregnant.  So of you are not ready to have a baby and become a parent why would you engage in that kind of behavior?  If you are having sex, obviously you are ready to become a parent and have a baby.  And if not why are you even doing it in the first place?  The point of sex is to procreate and have babies; it says so in the bible.  My opinion is, that you made your bed now go lie in it.  Now, I understand that bad things do happen, like rape.  Even if you are raped and become pregnant why does another terrible thing have to come from that?  Even if you don’t want the baby you can have it, and give it up for adoption.  Why do you have to kill an innocent creation God created?  Not to mention the emotional and physical tolls an abortion takes on a woman.  Many regret having an abortion and become very depressed after.  If the abortion is done wrong there is a chance you will not be able to have another baby.

            Really any violation of the fifth commandment is like a slap in the face to God.  Honestly, you are basically saying oh that life you created is not God enough so I’m going to kill it, or humiliate it, or hate it, or embarrass it and the list goes on and on.  So really let’s all just stop hating and make the world better.
