propasaurus: Thou shalt have no other gods...

Wait. There are other gods?

Well there WERE, but if you read the Old Testament literally God went all Michael Corleone on them and consoldiated the Family business

propasaurus: Thou shalt have no other gods...

Wait. There are other gods?

Thou shalt not bow down thyself to them, nor serve them: for I the LORD thy God am a jealous God, visiting the iniquity of the fathers upon the children unto the third and fourth generation of them that hate me;

Indefinite article. I.e., one of several. God admits he's not alone more than once.

And He was married at the time. King David did his best to wipe out all mention of Her.

Great. I knew man must have been designed by a committee.

Clearly we are the product of groupthink.

You know the people who wanted that thing there in the first place are the same ones who keep talking about how the want their state to succeed from the US and carry signs that say descent is the highest form of patriotic, right?

So I don't actually see this as a problem.

And they're doing very well, too!

Wait a second...

You mean to tell me it's not "Thou shalt not omit adultery"?

Magorn		2012-11-16 02:08:08 PM

Diogenes: God has thirteen "attributes."

Which, while I recognize that theology as coming from the Kabbalah, is an exceptionally Hindu thing to say. Apparently Hinduism is technically Monotheistic in that they say that the "big three" SHiva Vishnu and Brahamin are actually emanations of the original Pan-universal Godhead Atman, and all the lesser gods and goddesses are in turn manifestations of the big three

simplicimus		2012-11-16 02:09:40 PM

That's on the third tablet;
* Thou shalt not commit adultery during weekends and holidays.

Different archetypes. Same way of slicing and dicing the universe.

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.

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

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.

That was the honey-do list his wife gave him.

Oklahoma Ten Commandments:

1. Thall shalt not worship anyone other than Ralph Dale Earnhardt, Sr.

Outside of "Keep the Palm trees watered", what else would be on the list?

Is it just me or is the "take his name in vain" one misspelled "tahe"? "Thou shalt not kill" seems to have a distinctly different looking "k"

I'm glad the ACLU decided to stand down, this time. As long as they don't try to correct the spelling, it should be allowed to stand. As a monument to........well, I'm sure you can all figure that out.

trivial use of my dark powers		2012-11-16 04:05:14 PM

Look, proper spelling is for elitists. If the faithful feel that the monument is correct, then the monument is correct. Why do you hate Jesus and God and the angels and Heaven and 'Murca, and George Washington and Liberty teeth?

If the Christians can have their 10 commandments. Then they need to put up the Ferengi Rules of Acquisition, too.

Almost. Except most of the redneck types in Oklahoma are OU fans, though they never set foot on campus.
