I already did. [Post #942](http://boards.straightdope.com/sdmb/showpost.php?p=17048811&postcount=942). \*Nuns live their lives to serve G-d and do His will. Clearly they believe it was G-d’s will that they were driven to adopt that precious dog. Hence, thank G-d himself that He isn’t as stupid as you are. \* And yes, he saw that reply prior to writing this post. Therefore I conclude that he wasn’t interested in a clarification, but just shooting his wad. The whole of it was entirely tongue-in-cheek, but I guess he needed to let off some steam or something. ::shrug:: > [@andros](#): > > Just got off the phone with God. He told me He’s actually more of a cat person. Shhhhhh. Don’t tell the nuns or the pit bulls will suffer! **[G-d](http://judaism.about.com/od/judaismbasics/a/Why-Do-Some-Jews-Spell-God-G-D.htm)** \*"The custom of substituting the word “God” with G-d in English is based on the traditional practice in Jewish law of giving God’s Hebrew name a high degree of respect and reverence. When written or printed, God’s Hebrew name (and many of the stand in names used to refer to God) cannot be erased or destroyed. (See below) "There is no prohibition in Jewish law against writing out or erasing the word “God” in English. However, many Jews have afforded the word “God” with the same level of respect as the Hebrew equivalents. Because of this, many Jews substitute “God with G-d so that they can erase or dispose of the writing without showing disrespect to God.”\* ---

> [@Cartooniverse](#): > > Couldn’t be farther from the truth, at least for me. I haven’t a clue what God thinks or wants. Not a clue. I was raised Roman Catholic so I have at least as little Bible knowledge as an Episcopalian, but I thought that Jesus explained pretty clearly what He wants. > [@Mark 12:30-31](#): > > 30 And thou shalt love the Lord thy God with all thy heart, and with all thy soul, and with all thy mind, and with all thy strength: this is the first commandment. > > 31 And the second is like, namely this, Thou shalt love thy neighbour as thyself. There is none other commandment greater than these. Things get less clear with the Ten Commandments, but Number 8 or 9 (depending) states “Thou shalt not bear false witness against thy neighbour.” Of which your continuing misinterpretation of what Shayna said, despite all explanations, could be seen as a violation. However, Shayna should look to the Devarim for guidance: > [@Deuteronomy 32:35](#): > > Vengeance is poised with Me, and it will pay at the time their foot stumbles. For the appointed day of their reckoning is near, and what is destined for them hastens.

I am too exhausted to address the gravity of the stupidity of this thread right now. I am at a time in my life where I am overworked and under rested. But one day, I will have a little extra time…a bit of extra energy. And I will bump this thread to tell the OP the full scope of how fucking stupid this pitting is. ---

I have never coveted anybody’s maidservant, I don’t even know anybody who _ha_s a maidservant! So, I’m totally innocent on that one. As for coveting my neighbor’s ass, and if “covet” is more akin to an urge to fondle than to seize possession…might have to cop a plea on that one. ---

I’m wondering why the OP zeroed in on that particular thing to gripe about instead of their target’s stupidity in identifying “sometimes” as a generalization. ---
