If I were helpless in a bed lying there near half-dead would you show me empathy it's in that book that you read that golden rule it is said to show thee empathy so before you break bread eat the flesh of the dead pick and choose teachings like a grab bag of beliefs this one law holds true and all you have to do have compassionate feelings love yourself and your siblings

do not cause or embrace dispositions of a horror fiction which might cause unpleasant realism ramifications in this reality you should adopt the ability of acting faithful and honest physically and mentally faithfullness to thee honesty to thee dishonesty should flee unfaithfulness should flee

I'm not saying I'm not saying I'm not saying you're wrong no no no I'm just saying in this reality you are deceived by your own hypocrisy time to evolve be empathetic in a manner that is prophetic The dark of the covenant light You should not open up your eyes You should not step into the light The dark of the covenant lies

inflicting harm on those of who are much-more less help- less than you is something you should not do would you want it done to you live you life upon the rule unto others -is a virtue know before you deal that deathblow you will reap that which you sew thou shall not abuse neither rape nor torture too live you life unto others as they would do to you, (Hey!) If you live your life by the sword You will die by the sword

most important thing that most important thing that most important thing that you can provide a sense of being loved feeling of being loved now give your kid a hug while you've got time enourage her praise and make her feel safe ask about her day but keep in mind consistency above now give your kid a hug enforce your rules with love be firm but kind parents shall be persons that create for a child a stable active positive role and lifestyle a home of nurishment --- a stable environment a moral circumference

and so this creed was taught to me by the logical minds of the 21st century indicative bush voice within a fire, from up way up high on mount Sinai did not appear in a blaze of glory, don't be confused, but we speak in absolutes there is no bush voice with a fire, from up way up high on mount Sinai these are the laws of morality these are commands that really make sense to me it's up to us to make a reality of these guidelines for all of humanity
10.
shall not kill killing is permitted only for the defense of the innocent and for feeding them thou shall not kill ourselves

A boring causal circumstance. It's not that I believe in you. It's just a way to wade through time--another hole to dig. Just take a chance, dehumanize. The only hope is to hurt. The only way to feel alive. The only hope is no hope at all. Labors of man will not survive. The greatest of hurts is hope, A dull, prefabricated pain. The only hope is loss of all hope. Labors of man will not remain.. One can't relive The past, a void. The path of death Lies in the mind. Lies of the mind. The death of paths. Avoid the past One can't relive.

Before you download. There may actually be a side effect of unzipping the very long filenames - the built in Windows unzipper isn't always great about that (or about punctuation like semicolons and commas).

To work around this, move the zip file to a place on your hard drive with a short path name, like C:\temp and extract from there. Once the files are successfully unzipped, rename them to something simple (like "the hard gospel - track 1.mp3") and then move them to wherever you need to in order to import them into iTunes & sync. Alternatively you might suggest to fans any fans having trouble that they use the (much more powerful) 7-Zip to extract their tunes: www.7-zip.org

You can always download the files individually to avoid this problem altogether. Hope this isn't too much of an inconvenience. Streaming also free.

Why doesn’t society have a secular list of rules that precisely define morality with exclusion to religion? We are not alone in this question/desire, nor do we claim authorship to the concept. Many scientist, philosophers, comedians, and even the Dalai Lama share a similar quest/idea. This list of suggestions we have created in song is not meant to replace any sort of religious document(s). It is merely designed to provoke thought in what constitutes morality.
