So apparently Oklahoma is Jewish?

MaudlinMutantMollusk		2012-11-16 11:56:19 AM

So... their tablets need to be updated?

/wait until they try the maps

AdolfOliverPanties		2012-11-16 11:58:19 AM

Isn't there something in the Ten Commandments about graven images?

oldfarthenry		2012-11-16 11:58:38 AM

Geez - give God a break! There was no such thing as spell-check when he gave them to Moses!

Red state problems.

cameroncrazy1984		2012-11-16 12:05:37 PM

It was God's will that it be misspelled.

This certainly helps dispel the stereotypes.

simplicimus		2012-11-16 12:10:12 PM

The design is wrong. It's two tablets, 5 on each. Did this guy even read the Old Testament?

Do you think any of 'em actually read any of the book?

BunkyBrewman		2012-11-16 12:13:38 PM

They can't even get spelling right on the Ten Commandments yet they're all experts on interpreting the entire Bible and how we all should follow its words?

It's a sad day when you can't spell as well as Ozzy Osbourne.

Why is this being done again? Oh right, Oklahoma. I still wish I could figure out what they have to do with the grounds of the capitol building, though.

Teknowaffle		2012-11-16 12:20:09 PM

They also seemed to have forgotten about the whole "first amendment checker"

Well actually THREE tablets, 5 on each, didn't you see the movie?

Yeah, I saw the movie. But on the bright side, we have 5 fewer commandments.

sweetmelissa31		2012-11-16 12:28:40 PM

The problem didn't seem to worry Oklahoma State Representative Mike Ritze, who paid $10,000 of his own money to see the monument's creation.

Shouldn't have hired that sh*tty tattoo artist to do it, Rep Cletus.

toraque		2012-11-16 12:29:39 PM

It's really NOT misspelled. They just went back to the original texts and translated it properly from the Pnakotic fragments.

It's not "Remember the Sabbath" it's "Remember the Shoggoth"

I think that refers only to the competition, Baal and whoever else was being worshiped.

I wonder what was on that tablet... Perhaps a commandment about loving other people even if you disagree with him or her?

James!		2012-11-16 12:30:47 PM

I'm not sure but I think I found another typo. I'm pretty sure the 7th commandment isn't "Thou Shalt Get 'er Done".

Maybe you do, but the Jews have 613 commandments. That whole "Maimonides" thing.

1. It's okay to call hooters "knockers" and sometimes "snack trays."
2. It is wrong to be French.
3. It's okay to put all bad people in a giant meat grinder.
4. Lawyers: see rule three.
5. It is okay to drive a gas guzzler if it helps you get babes.
6. Everyone should car pool but me.
7. Bring back the word "stewardesses"
8. Synchronized Swimming is not a sport.
9. Mudwrestling is a sport.

'm pretty sure there's something in the director's cut edition that has to do with loving thy neighbor being suspended when neighbor is gay, not stealing except when capitalism, and looking the other way about killing when the dead guy is brown

11)Thou shalt not be a douche to your fellow man: seriously knock it off, even if they dress funny, speak a different language or have different colored skin

12) Thou shalt not try to forcefully impose your religion or morality on others: I am the lord your god, *I* got the whole revealing my will to others thing, mmkay?

13) Thou Shalt not be Smug:Before you got these tablets you were just a s big a sinner as that guy you are looking down on, so cut it out

14) IF thou seest a guy with a short mustache and a funny haircut coming to power in your country, thou shalt GTFO immediately

15) Thou shalt shall make no law respecting an establishment of religion, or prohibiting the free exercise thereof; or abridging the freedom of speech, or of the press; or the right of the people peaceably to assemble, and to petition the Government for a redress of grievances.

Yup, that's the Masonic Eye--the eye of God as the providential Great Architect. Its on our U.S. money of course, and so I'm guessing they wanted a fusion of historically idolatrous symbols used to represent God's favor on the American Experiment. Seriously, the commandment in Exodus 20 expressly forbids making images of ANYTHING in Heaven as well as Earth. So with the Bald Eagle on there they're getting a two'fer deal.

I have a hard enough time breaking 10 commandments. I don't think I'd live long enough to break 613 commandments.

Well, the first 5 are man's relationship with God, the second 5 are man's relationship with fellow humans. No idea what would be on the third tablet.

The other 5 were simply advisory, and dealt with interpersonal relationships. Some biblical scholars believe that they read as follows:

11. Favor thine brothers before harlots.
12. If there be grass on the field, though mayest play ball.
13. Stickest not thy manhood into crazy.
14. Once thou hast gone black, thou shalt not again go back.
15. Remember always: No matter how fetching appearest thy neighbor's wife or thy neighbor's maidservant, some man, somewhere, and quite possibly thy neighbor, hath grown weary of her excrement.
