"Thou shalt not kill"

I believe this is a mistranslation. It should not read 'kill', because human being need to kill to live. Every bite of food we eat is a corpse. The word should be murder. Thou shalt not murder doesn't turn the act of eating into a sin. Neither does it make defending yourself from murderers, rapists, or thieves into a sin.

Marriage has been legally destroyed. It is very clear that marriage was perhaps one of the first forms of contract, and we see that reams of contract law pertain to commercial contracts, but the marriage contract no longer is legally enforceable, because there is 'no fault' divorce. Someone married can divorce for any reason, or none at all, at least in the USA. So, citing a reason for divorce, such as adultery, isn't relevant. It's much worse than that, although that alone destroys marriage.

In the USA, and I believe across the West, women are granted almost unfettered power in divorce to strip men of assets, take their children, and receive payment after the divorce. The reason for the valuable rings are to provide widows or divorced women funds. The rings are no longer enough, and have become purely symbolic in the minds of most, because of spousal support (alimony), and child support that men, almost exclusively, are ordered to pay their former spouses after a divorce.

Men are legally extremely disadvantaged by marriage for all these reasons, and these aren't accidental, but implemented to destroy marriage for political reasons. Destroying marriage destroys family, and family is an extremely powerful economic mechanism that enables society to function. The state, the church, and the corporation all prefer that power inure to their institutions, so all have political reasons to destroy the family, and we can see that all these institutions are actively promoting policies that destroy family and marriage.

Thanks!
