ten

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

In a recent (now-deleted) thread on a believer forum, one of the believers brought up something I had not heard before, but which has the distinct aroma of an urban legend about it. She said that many people simply cannot handle concepts which they find too much at odds with their currently...

I do some voluntary work for Youth Offender Panels in the UK. Basically these panels try to rehabilitate children who commit criminal offences between the ages of 10-17. The offence must be the childs first offence and they must have pleaded guilty to it. They are given referrals to a panel by...

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...

In Carl Sagan's "The Demon Haunted World", he was writing about frustrations he encountered when corresponding with people who claimed to be in contact with aliens from advanced civilizations. He never was able to get satisfactory answers to questions that are unanswered by our civilization...

Yitzhak Rabin was a real patriot. I will never NEVER forget the look on his face when he took the hand of Yasser Arafat that afternoon. He was skeptical. He was in stress and unlike Arafat who was all smiles, he couldn't pretend that he was happy but he gave his hand and that moment we knew that...

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...

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...

From the June 29 Washington Post. Pretty good article (though I thought they went too easy on chiropractic). Points out that the most popular alternative meds (gingko, ginseng, echinacea and even garlic) can have blood-thinning side effects, which can be disasterous if you're already on blood...

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?

From here. Okay, Tony. Where's the evidence? Keep in mind that the voices you hear in your head after imbibing milk-plus synthemesc doesn't count.

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...

It seem that Bill O'Reilly, who I always thought was one of the smarter talkers on TV, is now a full fledged Moore and Ten Commandments supporter, not to mention prayer in school. However he repeatedly claims that the 10 commandments are the basis of our law, and constitution, without getting...

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...

On Monday But they were gone by Monday evening By the way, the tablets weighed 800 lbs each. Who picks up the tab for hauling those off?

This is an old article but its very amusing these are good points every Arafat apologist should know and fill free to add your own!:D
