Was the 1st commandment an event, law or micro-regulation?

Would you say this behavior is trying to be incremental, in regards to changing a society, or is trying to immediately change it?

Exodus 20:1-6 Exodus 32:19-20 Exodus 32:27-28

Since both sides agree racism and antisemitism is bad and violence is bad, where are the logical inconsistencies?

I'm glad you agree that this deity had no problem with slavery.

Was I off on the numbers or actions taken? It would help the discussion if you specify about what you think I'm confused on.

Incremental, like steps on a stair... The very first commandment wasn't incremental or step-like; no other gods before me. Also, it was followed by burning the calf, grinding it to powder, forcing the Israelite's to drink it, and being told to "go back and forth through the camp from gate to...

I seem to recall people "criticized and even agitated them" by drawing Mohammed, whereas Antifa brought water bottles filled with cement and balloons filled with urine and feces....

There seem to be 2 main arguments: 1) "So in everything, do to others what you would have them do to you, for this sums up the Law and the Prophets." If there is going to be a list of do-not's, I would think it should/would include slavery. 2) Society couldn't handle it/Society was operating...

Here is all I could find: “Not only do women like Dr. Ford, who bravely comes forward, need to be heard, but they need to be believed. I just want to say to the men in this country: Just shut up and step up. Do the right thing for a change.” - Senator Hirono “I value women, I listen to women...

Agreed! So... where shall we meet up for your Conversion Party? (This is exciting.)

Ah. I was under the impression that you were under the impression people are atheists are because of some tragedy that stuck them, etc.

This is an interesting theory. On a side note: You do see the irony in a Christian believing a narrative was fabricated based on having inconsistencies and its ability to be easily reverse engineered, using previous information obtained from others stories? It's not just me, right?

I'm not sure if that's the actual usual reason or the one that is commonly trotted out by religious groups as the reason. I've yet to ever meet one of those atheists.

Depends on what you are trying/expecting to get out of it. Watch the 1st episode and I'm sure you'll get an idea of what it will be like.

Sure it does. There isn't going be someone who drinks a lot, behaves well, then lie and say they don't behave well. I think you are missing my point about how the focus is on is he or is he not lying, rather than is she or is she not lying. The default now is trying to prove/show you aren't a...

In your scenario, both groups are just a set of numbers. Numbers have no background, ideology, drive, environment, nor any other distinguishing features. If Group W is the Mafia and Group W are Jains, then your mathematical "cause" for why the Jains have a higher rate of arrests (because the...

I thought they'd still be from #2, but would be lying by saying they are from #1. Regardless, it's always troubling how quickly they go from #1 to either #2 and/or #3 with an accusation. Never the accusation faces these types of dilemmas, just the accused.

Thanks. I'll check it out. You know, it kinda says something (about the show's material) that my knee-jerk reaction was laughing loudly when...
