Shut Up While I Tell You What You Really Think

Just for fun I want to start this post by repeating the 9th commandment from the Holy Christian Bible:
You shall not give false testimony against your neighbor. 
(Exodus 20:6)


In an article for the Independent newspaper, Janet Street-Porter stated that she is a Christian who believes in God.
I believe in the power of prayer and have done since childhood, attending an Anglican primary and secondary school ... These days, people are astonished to discover I believe in God.

In the article she referred to a survey which found that: 
For the first time, non-believers are in the majority. In England and Wales, a new study shows that only 43 per cent of the population admit they are Christians, while almost 50 per cent reckon they have no religious beliefs – double the number of five years ago.

But pride would not allow her to accept that her tribe of religious zealots are now in the minority so she casually declared that most non-believers in the country are cheats and liars!
Most Brits are secret believers: they have faith but just don’t want to admit it.

It would seem that the 9th commandment is not the only biblical law she has chosen to ignore:
Brothers and sisters, do not slander one another ... who are you to judge your neighbor? (James 4:11-12)

Do not let any unwholesome talk come out of your mouths (Ephesians 4:29)

Do not judge, and you will not be judged. (Luke 6:37)

Everyone will have to give account on the day of judgment for every empty word they have spoken. (Matthew 12:36)

Do not spread false reports. (Exodus 23:1)
