Quote:The only quesitons I say in your OP was that you wanted to know the hypocritical and ridiculous reasoning's and thought process behind 9 and 10. Correct?
Ok, I didn't realize you were trying to answer those two points...Mainly because your first post was set in, me only agreeing with Min at the time, but was only making a point to acknowledge what else I agreed with and disagreed with, on a broader spectrum in concerns with the 10 Com.
Quote:ok , one's about desiring what someone else has to contemplate betrayle to get it. The other's about consciously lying to save your skin. I still am having trouble seeing your question. Do you not feel the 2 are moraly bad?
That's an opinionated definition of the 9th commandment...Thou shall not steal is already up there...
The definition that is more so looked at is "Envy"....I see good and bad in envy, so it can be forked in many ways....
Same with 10...it's a desire and/or want.....The U.S. Industrial nation/ Capitalism at it's core is driven massively by wants, desires and envy......But like I stated before, I see the good and bad in both, but believe it's ridiculous to be part of the 10 commandments....
Thou Shall not "Own" humans (AKA) Slaves
Thou Shall not Rape another human or living creature
Thou Shall not Beat your children
Thou Shall not torture
ETC. ETC. ETC.
If 10 Commandments were to be the front runners so looked at, then these 4 could have replaced a few or at least been part of it..... But since women or not equal, children are whipped, slaves are owned, and the ungodly women can be taken by the godly for their own...... Well..........that's part of my point...
Quote:I never said I thought that jesus was a pacifist. He did preach Love and to be true to yourself and God. I was just answering the question. He also tore down temples and kicked over money baskets, you have to fight for what is right. You don't have to do it from hatred was , I feel, the main point.
No, in his case, it had to fight for what he wanted, not necessarily what was right....
And Jesus/god whatever states their "Hatred" for groups on more than two, three occasions throughout the Bible... And I use the word "Hate" because that's what is states....
Intelligence is the only true moral guide...
