Your first link talks of hating you enemy. Who do you define as your enemy?
And - as a friendly warning - it also speaks of having to believe in a *particular* deity. That leaves out a large part of the population.
And the third link talks of keeping the commandments. I didn't see anyplace where it said you have to display them or force anyone else to keep them.
I would think that keeping commandments is a personal responsibility to each person. If it is forced on the masses there is the issue of taking away free will, which would make keeping the commandments meaningless.
Another aside. The new testimate quotes Jesus as saying something about giving ceasar what is ceasar's. Wouldn't you consider that an order to separate church and state?
