Well, I'm not one for wishing death or harm to people over the internet, but it would be nice if their computer exploded.

"you know, i really do LOVE this god fellow. plague here, kill the first borns there. he's so deliciously evil!"

Nah, I think George Carlin says it best:
"Thou shalt keep thy religion to thyself"

Everything that lady4JC says is right, she is just trying to help you people, Jesus is coming soon, you can keep on being arrogant and disrespecting God, one day and one day soon you will stand before almighty God.

Jesus died for you on calvarys cross, he bore all mens sins, he gave his life so you can have a relationship with God and be forgiven of your sins. And you are rejecting it.

Right now you are carrying all your sins on your back.

We are here to help you, we care enough about you to warn you.

People have been saying jesus is coming for over 2000 years, Don't you think if he was coming, he'd be here already? So why don't you and Ladyjc go wait for him somewhere?

Your 'help' is obviously not appreciated and not welcome. Why don't you act like a REAL Christian fundamentalist and say we're all going to hell from afar.


BTW: We're not disrespecting God, we're disrespecting YOU. BIG difference.

Well, nothing GOOD is gonna come out of this thread...

Here is my problem with the ten commandments. Why exactly are there ten? You simply do not need ten. The list of ten commandments was artificially and deliberately inflated to get it up to ten.

Here's what happened: about five thousand years ago a bunch of religious and political hustlers got together to try to figure out how to control people and keep them in line. They knew people were basically stupid and would believe anything they were told, so they announced that God had given them some commandments, up on a mountain, when no one was around.

Well let me ask you this: When they were making this shit up, why did they pick ten? Why not nine or eleven? I'll tell you why- because ten sounds official. Ten sounds important! Ten is the basis for the decimal system, it's a decade, it's a psychologically satisfying number (the top ten, the ten most wanted, the ten best dressed). So having ten commandments was really a marketing decision! It is clearly a bullshit list. It's a political document artificially inflated to sell better.

I will now show you how you can reduce the number of commandments and come up with a list that's a little more workable and logical. I am going to use the Roman Catholic version because those were the ones I was taught as a little boy.

Let's start with the first three:

I AM THE LORD THY GOD. THOU SHALT NOT HAVE STRANGE GODS BEFORE ME.
THOU SHALT NOT TAKE THE NAME OF THE LORD THY GOD IN VAIN.
THOU SHALT KEEP HOLY THE SABBATH.
Right off the bat the first three are pure bullshit. Sabbath day? Lord's name? strange gods? Spooky language! Designed to scare and control primitive people. In no way does superstitious nonsense like this apply to the lives of intelligent civilized humans in the 21st century. So now we're down to seven.

Next:

HONOR THY FATHER AND MOTHER.
Obedience, respect for authority. Just another name for controlling people. The truth is that obedience and respect shouldn't be automatic. They should be earned and based on the parent's performance. Some parents deserve respect, but most of them don't, period. You're down to six.

Now in the interest of logic, something religion is very uncomfortable with, we're going to jump around the list a little bit.

THOU SHALT NOT STEAL.
THOU SHALT NOT BEAR FALSE WITNESS.
Stealing and lying. Well actually, these two both prohibit the same kind of behavior- dishonesty. So you don't really need two you combine them and call the commandment "thou shalt not be dishonest".

And suddenly you're down to five. And as long as we're combining I have two others that belong together:

THOU SHALT NOT COMMIT ADULTRY.
THOU SHALT NOT COVET THY NEIGHBOR'S WIFE.
Once again, these two prohibit the same type of behavior. In this case it is marital infidelity. The difference is- coveting takes place in the mind. But I don't think you should outlaw fantasizing about someone else's wife because what is a guy gonna think about when he's waxing his carrot? But, marital infidelity is a good idea so we're gonna keep this one and call it "thou shalt not be unfaithful." And suddenly we're down to four.

But when you think about it, honesty and infidelity are really part of the same overall value so, in truth, you could combine the two honesty commandments with the two fidelity commandments and give them simpler language, positive language instead of negative language and call the whole thing "thou shalt always be honest and faithful" and we're down to three.

THOU SHALT NOT COVET THY NEIGHBOR'S GOODS.
This one is just plain fucking stupid. Coveting your neighbor's goods is what keeps the economy going! Your neighbor gets a vibrator that plays "O Come o ye faithful," and you want one too! Coveting creates jobs, so leave it alone.

You throw out coveting and you're down to two. Now-- the big honesty and fidelity commandment and the one we haven't talked about yet:

THOU SHALT NOT KILL.
Murder.

But when you think about it, religion has never really had a big problem with murder. More people have been killed in the name of god than for any other reason. All you have to do is look at Northern Ireland, Kashmir, the Inquisition, the Crusades, and the World Trade Center to see how seriously the religious folks take thou shalt not kill. The more devout they are, the more they see murder as being negotiable. It depends on who's doing the killing and who's getting killed.

So, with all of this in mind, I give you my revised list of the two commandments:

THOU SHALT ALWAYS BE HONEST AND FAITHFUL TO THE PROVIDER OF THY NOOKIE, and
THOU SHALT TRY REAL HARD NOT TO KILL ANYONE, UNLESS OF COURSE THEY PRAY TO A DIFFERENT INVISIBLE MAN THAN YOU.
Two is all you need. Moses could have carried them down the hill in his fucking pocket.

I wouldn't mind those folks in Alabama posting them on the courthouse wall, as long as they provided one additional commandment:

THOU SHALT KEEP THY RELIGION TO THYSELF.
