NOW you tell me!
It’s an easy mistake to make. Just keep your yeast in a labeled* Tupperware container in a different cabinet than your sacrifices. And remember to thoroughly clean all utensils.
* That time I mixed up the yeast and some aromatic powdered herbs for the sacrifice - what a mess! Luckily, She must have been in a good mood that day, so no plagues.
Drinking straight blood is o.k. then.
Got it. Thanks.
But those are not universal moral laws any more than the “usual” list of ten commandments. Non-Jews/Christians may not be into murder or torturing animals, but someone still managed to sneak in a few lines about worshipping the correct god. Still unacceptable for public display.
I generally drink a blood & vodka, but straight blood is not too bad.
Unlike the Naugahyde Laws, which state that thou shalt not skin a Nauga alive, since they naturally molt their skins
He moved to Chicauga when that Nauga died!
You could try a Caesar; same appearance, great taste!
Well, they don’t want to lose the vampiric demographic, after all.
But clubbing baby synthetics to make synthetic fur coats is still ok right?

We’re about at my limit for goofing posts in a GD thread. Now would be a good time to drop further clowning. Please save it for the Pit. Thanks.
At any rate, the actual answer to the question “why those Ten Commandments”, is “because those particular Ten Commandments are what the people behind this want to post in schools.” It’s always about pushing their exact brand of Christianity; you shouldn’t expect any deeper answer than that.
Never mind, Discourse five words
Are there teachers that have tried to go around these laws in a “clever” fashion and not have their jobs threatened?

The Bible is nowhere near being the legal or moral heritage of the United States. If it were, the country would not have gained independence in the first place as we rebelled against a king.
You can ask his estranged wife which biblical crime he committed. (The formatting is from the original.)
If you’re curious about the penalty for that crime demanded by the “legal and moral heritage of our nation”, feel free to read Leviticus 20:10 or Deuteronomy 22:22.
Fwiw, old testament adultery does not include a man cheating on his wife. It is if a married woman has sex with a guy who isn’t her husband. And both she and the guy are guilty, unless he raped her, in which case only he is guilty, but she’s still damaged goods. (Men are responsible for respecting each other’s property.)
Certainly, if we’re going to put up the 10 commandments up, then we should follow Chronos suggestion from upthread.
Only if she screamed loud enough and enough people actually heard.
No, if he raped her in the country, and no one was there to hear her scream, she is innocent.
I’m not saying it’s the most enlightened law in the world, but it’s not horrendous. Anyway, my point wasn’t about rape, it was about adultery, which is not a symmetric crime under Jewish law. It doesn’t matter whether or not the guy is married. It only matters whether the woman is married (to someone else) and if she is, they are both guilty of adultery. In general, a husband who cheats on his wife is not guilty of adultery under Jewish law.
