Every man, woman and child is becoming more enslaved by our governments. Many believe they cannot survive without government handouts. This is the slavery the bible talks of.
I'm not cherry picking anything I posted exactly how it's said. now your making excuses for it and saying it's now how it sounds.

how about the second commandment then do you wear a cross and look at pictures of Jesus ?
