text: Nothing like being a "Bible-thumping" Orthotoxic Catholic!  The first rule 'commandment' of God is LOVE [love God above all] and the second rule 'commandment of God is LOVE [love your neighbor as yourself].
  
  Love is what Jesus taught over and over and over---not man-made rules that emphasize LAW for the sake of LAW.  And every thing that you are referring to----is a MAN-made law---there is NO love in it.
