commandments

Does God have to obey His ten commandments? I was just wondering about this while sitting on the beach last week. ~~ Paul

It has been the assertion by a few people that the USA was founded on the 10 commandments, and the reasoning is similar to that of MyCrofts. I dont' agree, though, since those reasons above are stretch reason more than Elastigirl's legs.

Ah, the state o' me birth... Always does me proud, it do... The article in the Louisville Courier Journal is here: http://www.courier-journal.com/apps/pbcs.dll/article?AID=/20051221/NEWS01/512210407 Actually, on quick review, I'm not sure it's a bad decision (the 10Cs were put up in the...

SCOTUS has ruled against courtroom displays of the 10 commandments. Roy Moore rumored to be Dubya's pick to fill Rehnquist's seat. :D

This article, previously published by the Atheist Alliance, was run in our local Rationalist Society newsletter. I thought it might be of interest: The Code of Hammurabi: ORIGIN OF THE TEN COMMANDMENTS by David L. Kent, AAI Individual Member With the drive of the Religious Right to place the...

I find it interesting that supposedly most people in this country believe in God, and are professing Christians. Yet, many discredit old Bible stories from the Old Testament as that; stories. They can't believe the account about Jonah and the whale. They can't buy all that stuff...all those laws...

A forthcoming television special on Britain's Channel 4 (airdate Feb. 26) will examine the attitudes of British subjects toward the Ten Commandments and their relevance to leading a moral life in the contemporary world. Interestingly, the show will reveal a new set of 20 commandments, as voted...

ABC is producing a new "Ten Commandments" movie. Okay, fine. Whatever. But these quotes from the producer are so stupid I nearly injured myself shaking my head. CNN Story Learn some history, you idiot! I'm really glad he's working on this. There is entirely too much coveting these days...

All of us in the USA have been inundated with Judge Roy Moore's antics regarding his attempts to install a decalogue in the rotunda of the Alabama Supreme Court. Maybe you folks outside of the USA have heard of this case. Anyway, take a look at this image. What is absolutely fascinating...

These clearly violate the first amendment of the US constitution. Nice thought, but law? Existing state law. :p Existing state law. There goes our whole economic system. OK three out of ten commandments are US law.

I didn't see this mentioned elsewhere, so... Could this guy's ego get any bigger?

Well, I've stolen, I've gossiped/ borne false witness against my neighbor, worked on Sabbath, said God's name in Vain, worshipped idols, had other gods before god, coveted my neighbors ass (horse fields property etc), disrespected my parents...pretty much everything but killed....

I'll reproduce them here, as given by Mr. Randi in this week's commentary: So how many of us have coveted our neighbor's ass, or worse? I've broken all but number 6. I'm on the Highway to Hell!

Another significant point that I haven't seen addressed - didn't the judge use taxpayer's money to purchase the display? From my point of view, I have no particular problem with religious displays in public places per se' - as long as ALL religions/irrational belief systems (Buddists, Hindi...

What is the legal argument for taking it away? The constitution only says, "Congress shall make no law respecting an establishment of religion, or prohibiting the free exercise thereof..." Putting the 10 commandments on public property isn't a law. I understand that it's rather dangerous to...

QUOTE from this article... http://www.foxnews.com/story/0,2933,95837,00.html An irate man initiated the "Put it back!" chorus after the monument was wheeled away from the rotunda. "Get your hands off our God, God haters!" yelled the wildly gesturing, red-faced man. end quote um, is he...

Has anyone seen this? Crowd Rallies for Ten Commandments Judge Some scary comments here: REALLY? There are so many different God's Laws! Just look at all the different Christian sects. Who determines which law to follow? Will protesters gather to proclaim that the wearing of makeup is...

This idea came from something hammy said in another thread. Someone brought up that there was nothing to go in the place of monuments to the Ten Commandments and he said "That's because y'all can't agree on anything." So let's come up with our own secular Ten Commandments, real or funny. What...

The next time some moron brings up how "perfect" everything would be, if only we lived by the "Ten Commandments", it's worthy to note that this is exactly what the LRA (Lord's Resistance Army) is trying to do in Uganda. Set up a theocracy based on the "Ten Commandments". True to "Old...
