The Ten: Commandments, that is

A little over a year ago I posted a reading of this essay. I was reviewing it the other day and discovered that the audio had been lost. I've done it over using iMovie. I hope this works better.

You're pathetic.

[Largo64]

@AndrewPPalmer Well, Mr. Palmer, at east you spelled "you're" correctly. What a refreshing change from the comments I get from so many for whom English is supposed to be their native tongue. I'm not sure I can agree with your assessment, however. I may have a different opinion from yours, but how does that make me pathetic? Can you explain? "You're pathetic" is hardly an argument. Actually it's more like verbal abuse. Suppose you tell us what you mean.

There are two types of athiest larry... the satanic athiest who drink in the wrath of God. and those that doubt God exsist. Its obvious what you are. There is no doubt that this is the time of Great Tribulation. The end of this period just before Christ returns ... there will be great signs in the sky. When you and the other doubters see this you will be on your knees....and God will forgive all of you, because you are all gonna be really real. bigger than Spielberg Larry.

@2138Countryman You mean signs like "JESUS SAVES at Chase Bank" ? I assure you I won't be on my knees. I have arthritis in both of them, and if I COULD get down on them, I couldn't get back up.

@outofthegreenmist I meant the children of Israel. I was momentarily distracted and forgot to finish that part of the first sentence.

As for graven images, some think the children knew well that the Golden Calf was not actually the god Baal, just a symbol to help them focus on Baal. The old prophets of Yahweh were keen to deride and mock the pagans among them, just as the early Christian churches turned celtic gods into devils, etc.

@swokrams58 I deny the existence of ALL gods, not because I don't like them, but for lack of evidence of their existence. Your god, or at least the fictional character in your holy book, is only the most familiar to me, because I grew up with that myth.

Christians who accept evolution may have a problem with commandment number four. Yahweh says that he created the heavens and earth in six literal days. The analogy makes no sense otherwise.

The ten commandments comes from the book of the dead, Look it up!
