On 9/11, it boggles my
mind that anyone would even consider dying for or killing for something that is
only a figment of our imaginations, like Islam or Christianity, or America or
Iran.
Of course no one does. We
die for and kill for one thing only—to take the power of God for ourselves, and
we use excuses like religion and nation. That is why the First Commandment is
first.
Tom T. Hall sums up all
the Commandments, all the religions, all the constitutions so completely when
he says, “There ain’t but three things that’s worth a solitary dime. That’s old
dogs and children and watermelon wine.”
