You are also asked to take an oath, and that's the oath of service. the oath of service is not to secrecy, but to the constitution - to protect it against all enemies, foreign and domestic. that's the oath that i kept, that james clapper and former nsa director keith alexander did not. you raise your hand and you take the oath in your class when you are on board. all government officials are made to do it who work for the intelligence agencies - at least, that's where i took the oath.

Animal Men Law
In the new covenant, god doesn't want us to be blessed when we obey the law and cursed when we fail. doesn't such a system sound awfully similar to the old covenant? grace is the undeserved, unmerited and unearned favor of god - the moment you try to merit the free favors of god, his grace is nullified.
