Your teenage daughter meets the boy of her dreams, and you finally meet him. At first, you think he's a fine young man with lots of ambition, and doesn't seem to have anything to hide. They start to date for more than a few months, and she's deeply in love with the boy. Meanwhile, you have no clue to who the boy's family is because he claims to be too ashamed to talk about them, but you let it go because you feel he's a nice young man.
Then years later, they're married after college, and you find out that his parents are part of the Irish Mafia. To make matters worse, they want their son to take over the family once the father dies in spite the boy's protests. He becomes the new head of the family now, and soon starts to become very verbally and physically abusive to your daughter and their eventual offspring.
You can't confront him otherwise, he'll kill you and everyone you care about. And you can't tell the police, as he pretty much owns the police, judges, media and local politicians in his pocket through either bribe money or intimidation. Yet all you know is that your daughter doesn't want to be with the man anymore, and you can't stand to see her get beat up by this jerk on a constant basis. What do you do?

When has there ever been a time in any part of history where everyone, altogether has given God a chance? And mostly I am talking about the 10 commandment. Period, nothing more, nothing less, no need to tell each other who is right or wrong, just 10 "seemingly" simple rules.
