Satanic Monument

[Wyrd of Gawd]

Have no other gods before me! That's so important it makes the top 10!

There aren't any other gods of course. But I'm just saying! If there were, don't go having them!

I'm insecure, I know.

The ancient Israelites were the most superstitious twits of all time.  They couldn't go three minutes without worshiping something.

That's a hilarious image

How did they ever get anything done?

They didn't. That's probably why it took them 40 years to cross the f-ing desert, after leaving Egypt.

Having a monument of the 10 commandments makes Christians look stupid, in my opinion. It implies that they need a constant visual reminder not to murder everyone they see and steal their shit. I can remember stuff like that! Imagine a FSM commandment monument with, "Don't poke pasta up your arse! Don't cook pasta in your neighbour's duck pond! I'm serious!"

As has been pointed out, these are not even actually the 10 commandments anyway. The real ones are even less relevant.

And has there been even a SINGLE instance of US Christians advocating for a public display of the subset of the 10 Commandments their Jesus guy said really mattered ??

Jesus was asked which ones to obey, and He FAILED to list all 10.  So why are we, 2000 years later, even talking about the 10 Commandments ???

Serious question there, is there a real theist anywhere with an explanation of how Christ managed to fuck up the that question, and why all modern era Christians know better than Christ about the 10 commandments  ????


It occurs to me a coherent answer to this won't be forthcoming, but if there is, I might find myself converted . . .

Fucking christians.  I knew it.  It is OK to put their crap up, but no one else is allowed.

Freedom of speech?  Freedom of religion? Only if it is christian.

They made a town pull down an Atheist billboard.

You must have missed my post.

That's the dumbest thing I've read here in quite awhile.

Yep, the first commandment is pretty fucking dumb.

You do not speak for all christians, GC. Just because you as an individual don't care about their statue, doesn't mean there aren't still plenty of christians out there trying to fuck with other people's rights. Your defense of "Psh...I don't do that" is basically meaningless. It doesn't matter that you (allegedly) don't do it, and it doesn't matter if you think the people who do are "real christians."

I'm still working on just what constitutes a 'real Christian'.

At first blush, I'd think disagreeing with the Godboy about anything would automatically denote NOT being a 'real Christian', but we keep finding examples of things where Jesus really needs to get behind his 'followers' because they are not acknowledging his lead at all, but they still insist on calling themselves 'Christians'.

I'd like to make sense of this, I can imagine Jesus might have some questions too . . . .

I didn't say I was speaking for all Christians, I understand there are those who would protest it and I think that's their right and fine with me, i was speaking only for myself. You on the other hand can't understand the simplest of statements or you only want to start an argument.
