My Great Awakening

[Eva Elisabeth]

John - you raise some questions that are mine, too.
As for the 10 Commandments being "a prescription for the preservation of private property, not a code for achieving and securing justice" - I think life and respect (love) are way more than (material) property.
"My" passage despite that I do appreciate the 10 Commandments is Ecclesiastes 3 because that seems "reasonable" to my simple brain.

"19 For that which befalleth the sons of men befalleth beasts; even one thing befalleth them: as the one dieth, so dieth the other; yea, they have all one breath; so that a man hath no preeminence above a beast: for all is vanity.
20 All go unto one place; all are of the dust, and all turn to dust again.
21 Who knoweth the spirit of man that goeth upward, and the spirit of the beast that goeth downward to the earth?
22 Wherefore I perceive that there is nothing better, than that a man should rejoice in his own works; for that is his portion: for who shall bring him to see what shall be after him?"
