In which I pit God

Well, you didn’t specify that.

IMHO, most of the killing in the name of God was done by people who didn’t have as clear a line to the Lord as they thought they did. YMMV.

Preach on spogga.:slight_smile:

Might I direct your attention to

I imagine that I’ve seen this shift of “emphasis” from kill to murder in my lifetime – it was not always written so. Anyone have any good citations that this commandment should be “read” one way or the other?

"You must demolish them and break their sacred stones to pieces. "

What more needs to be said? BAD God! Baaaaaaaadd God.!

Uh huh, didn’t Moses shortly after delivering his commandments then decided to incite the people to murder men, women, and children, all those who would not submit to his particular line of thinking?

What you call that? I sure as heck call it murder. And if moses didn’t have a clear line to God, then who the hell does?

I do.

Why do you let bad things happen to GOOD people!? You sonofabitch…

Why do you let good things happen to BAD people?!

OK I’m back and it’s time for another ripping of thine ass.

Your Commandment 1.
Thou shalt have no other God before me.

Why?
You gave us free will didn’t you? so if I would rather worship at the Holy Font of Goat,Sheep and other Furry Creatures then what’s your problem.
To be quite honest with you [and I have been so far] I think you’re a hypocritical asshole, you give with one hand and then try take it back with the other, talk about Indian giving!

C3.
Graven Images?
WTF is all this about. Your image is on crosses throughout most every country on Earth so this is a non starter to begin with.
On the other hand if you are talking about Golden Calves would you mind telling me where the fuck I can get enough gold to make one of these because I reckon it would look quite nice next to the umbrella stand.
C4.
Taking your name in vain.
So when my g/f is about to come instead of shouting “Oh God” she shouts “Oh Kevin”…right!!
A swift smack round her kisser is on the way.
My favourite football team goes a goal down, I shout “Jesus Christ” not “Oh dearie me”.
Get real will you erm for Christs sake.
C5
Keep the Sabbath Holy
So when is the sabbath then? Saturday, Sunday, Wednesday. You could have been a little more specific here. In the event that it is Sunday well that’s your supermarkets closed and every other shop in the country, kinda fucks up your profits a bit would’t you say.
On the other hand your churches would be open and there is always some dozy sod who is gonna put some of his/her hard earned cash on the collection plate so I guess you may just cream some of this dough off the top to offset losses.
Hang on a second! It’s all yours isn’t it? so that’s that sorted.

Right I’m off for now, but I’ll be back, bet on it.

Don’t stop him he’s on a roll.:slight_smile:

Spot On! You’ve made enough sense for 10 postings! Plus, damned amusing to boot.

Thank you my children

blushes

Agreed!

What about arms/hands? Two hands? TWO HANDS??? Four would be minimalist. Gimme at least 6. Two is not even close to enough. And some people don’t even get to keep the 2 they have? Why???

Okay, so I don’t actually believe in that particular God, per se, but that’s another story. Actually, if any god was going to make me in his image I’d want it to be Vishnu. :smiley:

Right God or JC or whatever you fancy I’m gonna list a few [and I mean a few] of the decent [fairly] things that we have been blessed with.

  1. Alcohol
    This is most certainly a goodie, HOWEVER, even then you have to fuck matters up by introducing hangovers/vomiting/loss of inhibitions [the latter BTW rather fucks up your adultery command doesn’t it] so yet again you got it wrong.
  2. Beautiful women! another plus for you. However would you mind telling me why dipsticks like Michael Douglas manage to land CZJ and I’m half his sodding age, not as rich granted, but I could sure do better than that old codger. I may not be as good as I once was but I’ll betcha I could outfuck dear old Michael anyday.
  3. Hot Steak Sandwiches. Now this you really got right [apart from Thou shalt not Kill, and it is kill, not murder] You also ballsed up on the price but I’ll let that slide for now.
  4. Lemme think 'cos I’m struggling now, Oh yes! The Internet!!
    damn good idea that…until you introduce SPAM. You really aint doing to well on the plus side are you?
  5. The written word, can’t fault that apart from the fact that if we only had just ONE language then things would be a damn sight easier…I’ll give you just half a point for that.

I’ll be back, later.

God, I must say I’m quite perturbed by the whole chocolate v. vegetables situation.

What?

He made things that are bad for us, like chocolate, delicious, but make things that are good for us, say brussels sprouts, digusting. He may have been trying to to be funny, I, however, am not laughing.
