2nd Commandment, Bitches!!

I am so sick and fucking tired of every asshole with virgin mary in their french toast, pane of glass, milkshake, or fucking bowel movement.

Haven’t any of you assholes ever heard of of the 2nd Commandment??
BTW: this goes for all of you morons with a statue of Mary, Jesus, or fucking collectible plate of Elvis that cries blood. ITS NOT REAL!!! Why would God, make the fucking commandments, and then create a fucking statue of chocolate for you morons to put candles around and pretend to have it heal your illness?

Because “God works in mysterious ways.”

That, like people being stupid, is why everybody does everything.

And it is also why everything is because of God…except the bad stuff. That was someone else. God’s in charge, after all; but it wouldn’t be fair to hold Him responsible, now would it?

That would be rude.

Or something.

I’ll admit, it doesn’t make sense to me, either.

I agree that’s really stupid.

The heat from the candles could melt it.

They’re taking the Lord’s name in vain?

<Homer> Mmmmmm…Sacrelicious…</Homer>

Sure.

Guns, right?

Hmm… let’s see, commandments, commandments…

  1. Worship God Alone
  2. Don’t take God’s Name in Vain
  3. Keem Holy Days holy
  4. Honor Mom and Dad
  5. Don’t murder
  6. Don’t f*&^% around
  7. Don’t steal
  8. Don’t lie maliciously
  9. Don’t poach among the married
  10. Don’t covet other folks’ goods

… nothing about tortillas or glass panes there. Though I’m fully agreed that it’s utterly ridiculous.

:stuck_out_tongue: C’mon, go ahead, tell us that’s not the “right” Ten Commandments…

I like your version better. All that “shalt” stuff was way too hoity-toity for me, but these are commandments I can live with!

As long as we’re calling sex holy, so I can still do it on Sundays.

Tempt him not, lest he smash those tablet on the earth with great might and cause the SMDB servers to swallow the board whole…! (again :rolleyes: )

I have to admit, that was my first thought, too.

Chocolate BVM… as much fun to adore as it is to eat!

I’d definitely say that between the 2nd commandment and the graven images thing, these people out to know better. However, if it can be used to generate cash, Creflo Dollar says it’s OK. As long as you don’t break the 7th. Right? RIGHT?

I saw this, too. My first thought was “I would have eaten it before I prayed to it.”

Come on, it’s garbage chocolate! Is that all God has to do? You’re telling me God has the mental equivalant of a gremlin trickster?

Anaamika,

You know if you and I had stumbled upon this holy chocolatey goodness we would’ve surely been fighting over who gets to bite the head off.

Mmmmmmm…chocolate virgins. (they go very well with milk from the sacred chao)

that sounded much nastier than I intended.

Mine too. I was going to post something about Jesus arming bears.

Actually, the statue reminds me more of the Maltese Falcon than Mary.
But they’re both, like chocolate, the stuff that dreams are made of.

What are you, a heathen? You pray before you eat it. It’s called ‘saying grace’. :stuck_out_tongue:

So we can assume you’re not Catholic.

There’s a difference between making an image to remember and honor someone and worshipping the image. There are crucifixes in a Catholic church to remind you of the crucifixion and what it means. Nobody but nobody worships the crucifix. Same with Mary, there are statues to honor her but nobody worships the statue. So if you build a statue of Mary and for whatever reason she chose to reveal herself by making that statue do supernatural things, it has nothing to do with violating the 2nd commandment.

I would argue with your assertion of “nobody.” I would instead guess it’s “many many people.”
