Ten Commandments

[Gord_in_Toronto]

Which is the version in the Catholic Catechism?

That is distinct from the others, too.

Surely this is just a result of mistranslation? In addition to the arbitrary selection and mis-numbering I mean.

Bah, everyone knows that the real commandments are 285 in number and written on gold-pressed latinum

Best would be to post it on teh interwebz. Digital. Not media-dependent. The memes would be much more likely to survive.

Oh, there weren't no interwebz? He could've invented them.

Like the 10 commandments most of these should be broken.

Actually there is the 11th commandment

Thou must not get caught.

This! The much missed Mr Carlin.

Most likely the reference is to these Ten, which by tradition and convention are a rendering of the Exodus 20 admonition, though I find the first to contain about three, by itself, which makes it a fine candidate for being called The Divine Dozen.

I still find it curious that the Pope, who is supposed to be up on Scripture, looks at Exodus 21: 12-17, and does not find the death penalty to be directive in nature.

For those uncertain, I provide insight on my musing:

12He that smiteth a man, so that he die, shall be surely put to death.

13And if a man lie not in wait, but God deliver him into his hand; then I will appoint thee a place whither he shall flee.

14But if a man come presumptuously upon his neighbour, to slay him with guile; thou shalt take him from mine altar, that he may die.

15And he that smiteth his father, or his mother, shall be surely put to death.

16And he that stealeth a man, and selleth him, or if he be found in his hand, he shall surely be put to death.

17And he that curseth his father, or his mother, shall surely be put to death.

The King James Version language is really good in capturing the essence of these rules ...

I like that it takes two commandments to forbid you from coveting your neighbor's ass or piece of ass.

It takes 3 to explain the proper worshiping process.

There can be only one

If God used Microsoft Word to print out The Ten Commandments, which font would he use?

Comic Sans MS.

Then he would email them to you and use colors and different font sizes liberally.

Then he would print it out and tape it to your monitor.

Font I don't know, but Windows would crash after the first four, and God would have to start over.
After this repeated a couple of times, finally God would call His Son over to help him. Then everything would be fine.
After all, Jesus saves.
