At Townhall, writer Jerry Newcombe hits a home run in his article about Communism versus the Ten Commandments.
In the article he explains that communism is enjoying a modern resurgence… even in America. But communism is against each of the 10 Commandments and vice versa.
Here’s an abbreviated version of his list. Check out the article, linked above, for the full text.
In the first commandment, God says that He alone is God. Communism says there is no God.
In the second command, God says we are to worship no idols. In practice, communism promotes the worship of idols. I might add, they worship the idol of humanity and collectivism.
In command number three, God says that we should not take His name in vain. But communism says there is no God, which makes taking Him in vain to the limit.
In the fourth Commandment, God says we are to honor the Sabbath. If there is no God in the minds of the communists, how can one honor the Sabbath?
“Honor your father and your mother,” commands God in number five. Communism seeks the abolition of the family.
The sixth commandment says, ‘Thou shalt do no murder.’ Communism seeks to eliminate their opposition, and then in the last century murdered over 100 million people due to their policies.
The seventh command prohibits committing adultery. In communism, they aim to eliminate the family, eliminate marriage, and in today’s communist movement in the U.S. they promote free love, gay love, whatever sexual sin they can shove into the culture.
The eighth commandment declares, ‘Thou shalt Not Steal. And it doesn’t add, “unless thou art the government.” Ever noticed how many times communists talk about government “seizing” private property?
The ninth command prohibits lying. Yet, communism is the biggest lie of all, and uses deception to put in motion its revolutions.
Finally, the 10th commandment gets at the fountainhead of the communists’ propaganda—Thou shalt not covet. Communism is the politics of envy.
