The Bible

I jokingly made a comment on SurviorLady's blog wondering why she didn't add the Bible to her book list that she was putting together. Then, as I thought about it, it shouldn't be a joke, but a book that is on every ones list of books to acquire if they don't already have one.

To J..R.Rawls credit, he knows his Bible well and often includes pertinent verses in His Survival Blog.

This country was founded on the precepts of the New Testament. The Ten Commandments are the glue that holds this nation together, separating man from beast, making the creation of our constitution the next greatest document devised by the intellect of man. Our forefathers even inscribed the common penny with the motto "In God we Trust."

Whether you believe in the Bible or not is your business. Apparently a lot of power people do not because the commandment of "Thou shalt not steal doesn't seem to find it in to their of ethics or business dealings, esp. among bankers, politicians and Wall Street thieves of note.

Believe what you will , teach your children well. If society were to undergo great changes or even fall apart, what will the next generation be guided by and by whom? Will we be a socialist nation with a dictatorial government at the helm or will there a few Bible readers left over the take the reins of a lost vehicle that is driving over the cliff: you decide.
