I love the 10 commandments

[Pat Mustard]

ITS LOOK SELF INDULGENT WHEN YOU LOOK AT THE COMMANDMENTS WITHOUT MEDITATION. BUT THEY ARE NOT MADE FOR GODS SAKE BUT FOR OURS, TO BE THE BASIS FOR HUMAN MORALS. I BET YOU CANT TELL ME WHERE WE GET MORALS FROM. WE OBVIOUSLY GET IT FROM GOD EVERYBODY HAS BEN TO CHURCH AT SOME POINT OR STUDIED GODS WORD.

Unless you have a physical limitation that prevents you from doing so, please use capital letters where they belong and try to toss in some punctuation here and there. Spell check would be a plus.

Otherwise you read like the screaming, uneducated, pain-in-the-ass that you most likely are.

My guess he's a re-reg of this guy. Given that there's 2 1/2 years between Joshua Martin Pryce's last log in and Prycejosh's registration, I'm guessing either lost password or forgotten he'd previously joined rather than deliberate sockpuppetry.

its so stupid the things these silly people believe



Exodus 34:10-28

10 Then the Lord said: “I am making a covenant with you. Before all your people I will do wonders never before done in any nation in all the world. The people you live among will see how awesome is the work that I, the Lord, will do for you.
11 Obey what I command you today.

now for the commandments

14 Do not worship any other god, for the Lord, whose name is Jealous, is a jealous God. (1)
17 “Do not make any idols. (2)
18 “Celebrate the Festival of Unleavened Bread. For seven days eat bread made without yeast, as I commanded you. Do this at the appointed time in the month of Aviv, for in that month you came out of Egypt. (3)
19 “The first offspring of every womb belongs to me, including all the firstborn males of your livestock, whether from herd or flock. 20 Redeem the firstborn donkey with a lamb, but if you do not redeem it, break its neck. Redeem all your firstborn sons. (4)
21 “Six days you shall labor, but on the seventh day you shall rest; even during the plowing season and harvest you must rest.(5)
22 “Celebrate the Festival of Weeks with the firstfruits of the wheat harvest, and the Festival of Ingathering at the turn of the year. (6)

23 Three times a year all your men are to appear before the Sovereign Lord, the God of Israel. (7)
25 “Do not offer the blood of a sacrifice to me along with anything containing yeast, and do not let any of the sacrifice from the Passover Festival remain until morning. (8)
26 “Bring the best of the firstfruits of your soil to the house of the Lord your God. (9)
     “Do not cook a young goat in its mother’s milk.” (10)

27 Then the Lord said to Moses, “Write down these words, for in accordance with these words I have made a covenant with you and with Israel.” 28 Moses was there with the Lord forty days and forty nights without eating bread or drinking water. And he wrote on the tablets the words of the covenant—the Ten Commandments.

DING DING DING DING!!!!!!  

these are the LAWS humanity NEEDS to live by according to the supreme being.

I know exactly where I get my morals from. It does not involve a stupid magic book.

OTOH, you have no clue where morals come from, so if it wasn't for the magic book, you would become a lying, robbing, murdering, rapist. Is that really your claim?

It IS self indulgent. Most of the commandments are nothing more than ego boosters for the imaginary deity.

There are NONE about not keeping slaves, not committing rape, and a number of other heinous crimes.

They're also not the basis for modern laws. There are legal codes that predate the bible by hundreds or even thousands of years, and most have laws about murder and other crimes that put them far ahead of anything on the bible.

Finally, caps lock make you appear like a petulant child.

And if you think we get our morals from the bible, you obviously haven't read the bible.

As social creatures we get our morals from the social evolution of our species.

[The Grand Nudger]

Even within the context of magic book and the faithful, the ten commandments provide very little of the overall moral structure. Most biblical morality (in contemporary christian culture) is derived from other biblical narratives, and the majority of moral content isn't derived from magic book at all.

This particular misunderstanding, though, is just an issue of vocabulary. Of confusing atheism with anti-realism, and lacking an accurate description of realist principle.

Chimpanzees practice moral behaviour. They didn't get from any propaganda expounded by fat pedo priests.

[The Grand Nudger]

The christianese explanation for this lies in a doctrine which states that the creator endowed all moral agents with moral awareness. If chimps are morally aware, then god made them so.

The realist explanation is that there are moral facts which all cognizant actors can, and do, leverage.

Did you know that in the internet, using all caps is considered shouting? And using it for everything you say makes you seem like a loon? If you have a vision problem, just use bigger font.

We get our morals from our moral sentiments, upbringing, culture, society, and moral reasoning. What do I win?
