[QUOTE="ChristopherHays, post: 74639779, member: 422553"] I don’t think there is any Christian denomination that follows the Ten Commandments. 1: “Thou shalt have no other gods before me.” doesn't that imply there are other gods? 2: “Thou shalt not make unto thee any graven image, or any likeness of any thing that is in heaven above, or that is in the earth beneath, or that is in the water under the earth... for I the Lord thy God am a jealous God, visiting the iniquity of the fathers upon the children unto the third and fourth generation” You all really dropped the ball with this one. Christians make all sorts of statues and drawings of everything. Also, you’re great grand children are cursed if you paint something. 3: “Thou shalt not take the name of the Lord thy God in vain; for the Lord will not hold him guiltless that taketh his name in vain.” Again, Christians do this all the time. Why would god even care though? He seems to get offended way too easily. 4: “Remember the sabbath day, to keep it holy. Six days shalt thou labour, and do all thy work” Sabbath has always been Saturday. Christians work on Saturday and Sunday all the time. Even something like picking up sticks on sabbath warrants the death sentence from god, but most Christians don’t even care. 5 “Honor thy father and thy mother” We’re half way through and some moral teaching is finally here!!! What about parents who abuse their children though? God needed to elaborate on this more. The Bible never condemns child abuse or even acknowledges it to my knowledge. Children should not always honor their father an mother. That’s obvious. 6 “Thou shalt not kill.” I agree with this one... too bad it doesn’t apply to the Canaanites or anyone else the Israelites felt like murdering in the Old Testament. It also didn’t apply to Muslims during the crusades, Indians during the inquisition, or anyone accused of witchcraft. I’m just gonna stop there. Not trying to write a whole book, but the 10 commandments aren’t really that great. If I was writing a moral code, I’d mention slavery, abuse, discrimination, women’s rights, and a host of other issues the Bible conveniently avoids. [/QUOTE]
