News flash to Dave and others, a great many of these Athletes aren't actually Christians. Some of you seem to need reminding...

I think along with the Olympics high standards for Atheletes to perform there , they should also adopt high standards of dignity, respect for themselves and others, and morality to encourage and safeguard civility. If you can think of a higher set of moral standards than Christian Morality as defined in the 10 Commandments and Jesus' Teachings ... please list because they should be used (of course all this assumes inherently depraved mankind will show remarkable desire to have these in their lives...which is certainly not the case because instant sexual gratification known as sexual hedonism trumps morality and self dignity , especially today and even with those who play church each Sunday appropriately termed : psuedo-'christians') .

I would just like to point out that some of the 10 commandments go directly against the very spirit of the Olympics.
For instance, the first commandment is "Have no gods besides YHWH". The Olympics are about getting people together regardless of their race, religion, or nationality and celebrate together in the human physical ability. So the 10 commandments are by their very nature not compatible here.

1. The 10 Commandments arent just for CHristian who want to obey them...they are universal to a world of people that God created and owns. If some people dont wish to obey them, that doesnt nullify them just like if I dont want to obey the speed limits on the road they are hence non existent.
No, I care about moral standards that are a bit more in-depth than God's post-it note of commandments (well, ok, the rest of mosaic law is in-depth, but it's in-depth about the wrong things - if you can spraff on for ages about the dimensions of your tabernacle, then you could surely have stuck a "thou shalt abolish slavery" in there).2. The 10 Commandments are for ALL socieites and represent an objective standard because they are a prescription from the Creator thereby making them objective...and, they offer maximized civility, justice, fairness, and morality . Its a travesty people could care less about them or ANY moral standard for that matter.
Except Babel, apparently, and depending on which wingnuts you talk to, the UN.3. Our Creator has no problem with many races and nationalities getting together at one meeting place .
Why should he since hes the Creator of us all ? We are all ONE blood and races are a man-made term that divides and encourages racism.
A commandment of absolute intolerance of other religious beliefs is as amenable to civility as a tank of gasoline is to putting out a fire.4. The 10 Commandments are not only suitable for the Olympic Games, but they are suitable for what is supposed to be a civil planet . With people making up their own 'morals' (amoraily really) , they encourage anarchy .
They gave them 15 each for two weeks. That's not relentless, that's barely enough for the weekends.What ISNT suitable...is the Olympic Committee dumping loads of condoms into the hands for relentless sexual hedonism
You know most animals mate to reproduce, don't you? Analogy fail!because it is an affront to our very holy, pure, moral, ethical Creator in whos image we are all made ; thats not only unsuitable, but a blatant act of hostility and rebellion toward our loving personal theistic Creator (God) thru using another human being for a mere copulation as Forest Animals do, then moving onto the next illicit sexual quest.
What evidence? You have not provided any that has stood up.It is reprehensible for a prestigous Committee or City to endorse and encourage dangerous sexual behaviour as evidenced by prevailing STD epidemics across the globe. Its a shame they have no shame !

As I asked earlier, would you rather for people to spread dangerous STD's?
You can argue their universal objectivity if you like, the fact remains that the Olympics is not a Christian event or organisation and its very spirit is directly opposed to ideals such as the 10 commandments. As such the fact remains that the 10 commandments have no place in the Olympics.1. The 10 Commandments arent just for CHristians who want to obey them...they are universal to a world of people that God created , owns, and to whom we will one day be accountable toward . If some people dont wish to obey them, that doesnt nullify them just like if I dont want to obey the speed limits on the road they are hence non existent or unimportant .
I pretty much disagree with every single point you made here, but explaining the reasons for why is for another thread as this has nothing to do with the Olympics.2. The 10 Commandments are for ALL socieites and represent an objective standard because they are a prescription from the Creator thereby making them foundationally objective...and, they offer maximized civility, justice, fairness, and morality . Its a travesty people could care less about them or ANY moral standard for that matter because genitilia-titilization trumps morality and personal dignity.
Good for him.3. Our Creator has no problem with many races and nationalities getting together at one meeting place . Why should he since hes the Creator of us all ? We are all ONE blood and 'races' are a man-made term that divides and encourages prejudice .
All morals are made up by people, this includes the 10 commandments (On the basis that they were not made by God hence they were made by people). Obviously you disagree with me (in that you believe in biblical God) so we just have to accept that we will likely never reach any consensus on this point.4. The 10 Commandments are not only suitable for the Olympic Games, but they are suitable for what is supposed to be a civil planet . With people making up their own 'morals' (amoraily really) , they encourage anarchy and observable quantifiable consequences (which many wish to pretend are non existent) .
As before I disagree with just about everything:What ISNT suitable...is the Olympic Committee dumping loads of condoms into hands for relentless sexual hedonism because it is an affront to our very holy, pure, moral, ethical Creator in whos image we are all made ; thats not only unsuitable, but a blatant act of hostility and rebellion toward our loving personal theistic Creator (God) thru using another human being for a mere copulation as Forest Animals do, then moving onto the next illicit sexual quest.

I personally think that that's exactly what people with this mentality want. They want a nice material consequence that they can point to to try and get people to listen to them. Removing it (via a technology, say) makes their exhortations less pressing to listen to.
I don't think they're actually concerned about these people at all, I think they're more concerned about attention.
I agree with you. That's probably why Dave didn't answer my question earlier. I also feel there's a "they'll get what they deserve for being disgusting heathens!" element.

Dave Ellis said:The idea that distributing condoms will lead to rampant sex parties is ridiculous.
The same way seatbelts cause car accidents.Darn, and I just bought 150k condoms.
Because apparently spontaneous sex parties form in their mere presence.
Pull over first!And transporting 150k condoms in your backseat will cause an orgy to occur in your car.
