For example Commandment three states, "Thou shalt not take the name of the LORD thy God in vain; for the LORD will not hold him guiltless that taketh his name in vain". To me ... should not use the Lord's name when something goes wrong as many people do without noticing. When God hears this he is not happy.

This is Jesus directly telling us to go and care for those who are in need, or maybe even suffering like the man in the parable. The Bible also ... commands us this, "And if a brother be waxen poor, and fallen in decay with thee; then thou shalt relieve him: yea, though he be a stranger, or a sojourner; that he may live with thee." Most of the time you help someone that is poor, you will not know them ... not make them come and ...

... bible also does prohibit Christians from engaging in public prayer. The author of the Gospel of Matthew contrasted public and private prayer.

... because it is an act whereby one "artificially disrupts the natural course of his/her life" . The Vatican strongly condemns euthanasia as killing, a direct disobedience of The Lord's Fifth Commandment: "Thou Shalt Not Kill".

It blatantly supports a religious view, as you will ... ...
