Just a little bit from the page:

Peacemaking, not War Making: Blessed are the peacemakers: for they shall be called the children of God. Resist

not evil: but whosoever shall smite thee on thy right cheek, turn to him the other also. I say unto you, Love your

enemies, bless them that curse you, do good to them that hate you, and pray for them which despite-fully use you, and

persecute you;

The Death Penalty: Thou shalt not kill

Crime and Punishment: If any one of you is without sin, let him be the first to cast a stone at her. Do not judge, lest

you too be judged. For in the same way you judge others, you will be judged and with the measure you use, it will be measured

to you.

Justice: Blessed are they which do hunger and thirst after righteousness: for they shall be filled. Blessed are the

merciful: for they shall obtain mercy But if ye forgive not men their trespasses, neither will your Father forgive your

trespasses.

Corporate Greed and the Religion of Wealth: In the temple courts found men selling cattle, sheep and doves and other

sitting at tables exchanging money. So he made a whip out of cords, and drove all from the temple area, both sheep and cattle;

he scattered the coins of the money changers and overturned their tables. Watch out! Be on your guard against

all kinds of greed; a man's life does not consist in the abundance of his possessions. Truly, I say unto you, it will

be hard for a rich man to enter the kingdom of heaven. You cannot serve both God and Money.

Paying Taxes & Separation of Church & State: Render therefore unto Caesar the things which are Caesar's; and unto God the

things that are God's.

Community: Love your neighbor as yourself. . So in everything, do to others as you would have them do to you.

If you would be perfect, go, sell what you possess and give to the poor, and you will have treasure in heaven.



Equality & Social Programs: But when you give a feast, invite the poor, the maimed, the lame, the blind, and you will be blessed,

because they cannot repay you. You will be repaid at the resurrection of the just.

Public Prayer & Displays of Faith: And when thou pray, thou shall not be as the hypocrites are: for they love to pray standing in

the synagogues and in the corners of the streets, that they may be seen of men. Verily I say unto you, They have their reward.

But thou, when thou pray, enter into thy closet, and when thou hast shut thy door, pray to thy Father which is in secret…



Strict Enforcement of Religious Laws: If any of you has a son or a sheep and it falls into a pit on the Sabbath, will you not take

hold of it and lift it out? The Sabbath was made for man, and not man for the Sabbath.

Individuality & Personal Spiritual Experience: Ye are the light of the world.

Ah. I'll have to keep a look out for it. I don't really go to video rental stores now days. That's why I like living here at home since we have cable t.v. ;) Gotta love HBO. Doesn't seem to violent. I can always fast forward through it.
