Since this douche bag is from my 'neck of the woods', allow me to sound off a bit.

I am so tired of hearing people bitch about the removal of the ten commandments. If the monument had instead said 'There is no God but God and his prophet was Mohammad', these same people would have ripped it out of the ground and driven over it with their pickups. And its bullshit about the commandments being about basic human decency. Yeah some of them are, but the first four are strictly about God. The purpose of separation of church and state is so people like Mr. Scarbrough here can worship how they want with out worry about the government telling them what to do.

Pray in school is another dumbass one. They make it sound like its not allowed at all, this is completely untrue. What isn't allowed is school lead prayer, as in the principal over the morning announcements says, 'Now lets all bow our heads in pray'. I never saw anything that stopped individuals from praying when they wanted. There were plenty of Christian clubs where students and teachers could go pray and talk about God and Jesus all they wanted. During their holy months the Muslim students were allowed to leave class so they could go pray towards Mecca. So I'm tired of hearing how pray and religion isn't allowed in school, because it is, it's just not forced upon everyone. Its about providing a neutral environment where individuals can practice their religion at their discretion.

Hate Crimes: I'm fairly certain there's nothing in the hate crime laws that keep this douche bag from saying whatever he wants. My understanding of hate crime laws is it provides additional punishment for those commit a crime because of someone's ethnicity or gender (sexual orientation still pending). The crime is considered greater because it targets not only the recipient of the crime, but is also meant to intimidate all people of the ethnicity and/or gender of the recipient. Hence it is considered a larger crime because it targets more people than just the one that is the direct recipient.

And I can go on, but I'd be better off stopping now.

^ You mean you don't plan to vote with the "Christocrat" party this November?

I literally shed a tear -- this man really speaks from the heart, and may God bless him. I love you, Rick Scarborough.

Hate crimes laws are there to be infinitely improved upon to eventually include all forms of action or speech deemed improper by the state-

Judgements regarding the ten Commandments disallowed in public places being allowed to establish precedent, will further the agenda of those who would welcome authoritarian control, so it actually benefits the fucking atheist rant and ravers, to support it-

Windbag Christians are only effectual to the degree that they give corporate and elitist controlled media outlets fuel for their furnace of disinformation and consolidation of power.

Oh and, atheists?? The fucking Ten Commandments???...a basic framework for monkeys with no better since than to wipe their ass with their food hand, or place the same hand in a situation that destroys the entire body....basic tenants of most faiths and disciplines that built societies....what problem do atheists have with the 10 commandments???

I'll tell ya-they haven't figured it out yet, because they are blinded by the "GOD" label.....it is a reflex, a reaction developed and indulged in by un-actualized mind-

(no doubt there are some of you folks, who simply write this rant off, as coming from some fundy.....Fuck all, dualism is y'alls disease, not mine....))

C'mon, sift! I just need 3 more votes to lose my 'P!'

And be gentle, since it will be my first time. <blushes>

I thought the whole point of Jesus and all that bloody Mel Gibson Movie stuff was to remove the necessity of The Old Law - to allow individuals to have a personal relationship with god.


The 10 commandments is primarily a post-biblical politico-religious invention.

There is no part in the bible that lists them the way most people know them.
Deuteronomy 5 is the closest that most catholics and prodestants know, except in a much more long winded format. It forbids making any image of any thing. Photos, sculptures, paintings, etc. are all forbidden. It also says, in verse 9

" Thou shalt not bow down thyself unto them, nor serve them: for I the LORD thy God am a jealous God, visiting the iniquity of the fathers upon the children unto the third and fourth generation of them that hate me"

---- gee, sounds fair, huh?





Exodous 20 is a rehashing, with some subtle differences.


The Actual tablets that Moses brings down from the mountain are VASTLY different than what most people know as "the 10 commandments".

Exodous 34
1 And the LORD said unto Moses, Hew thee two tables of stone like unto the first: and I will write upon these tables the words that were in the first tables, which thou brakest.
[...]
11 Observe thou that which I command thee this day: behold, I drive out before thee the Amorite, and the Canaanite, and the Hittite, and the Perizzite, and the Hivite, and the Jebusite.
12 Take heed to thyself, lest thou make a covenant with the inhabitants of the land whither thou goest, lest it be for a snare in the midst of thee:
13 But ye shall destroy their altars, break their images, and cut down their groves:
-----
14 For thou shalt worship no other god: for the LORD, whose name is Jealous, is a jealous God:
15 Lest thou make a covenant with the inhabitants of the land, and they go a whoring after their gods, and do sacrifice unto their gods, and one call thee, and thou eat of his sacrifice;
16 And thou take of their daughters unto thy sons, and their daughters go a whoring after their gods, and make thy sons go a whoring after their gods.
-----
17 Thou shalt make thee no molten gods.
-----
18 The feast of unleavened bread shalt thou keep. Seven days thou shalt eat unleavened bread, as I commanded thee, in the time of the month Abib: for in the month Abib thou camest out from Egypt.
-----
19 All that openeth the matrix is mine; and every firstling among thy cattle, whether ox or sheep, that is male.
20 But the firstling of an ass thou shalt redeem with a lamb: and if thou redeem him not, then shalt thou break his neck. All the firstborn of thy sons thou shalt redeem. And none shall appear before me empty.
-----
21 Six days thou shalt work, but on the seventh day thou shalt rest: in earing time and in harvest thou shalt rest.
-----
22 And thou shalt observe the feast of weeks, of the firstfruits of wheat harvest, and the feast of ingathering at the year's end.
23 Thrice in the year shall all your menchildren appear before the LORD God, the God of Israel.
24 For I will cast out the nations before thee, and enlarge thy borders: neither shall any man desire thy land, when thou shalt go up to appear before the LORD thy God thrice in the year.
-----
25 Thou shalt not offer the blood of my sacrifice with leaven; neither shall the sacrifice of the feast of the passover be left unto the morning.
-----
26 The first of the firstfruits of thy land thou shalt bring unto the house of the LORD thy God.
-----
Thou shalt not seethe a kid in his mother's milk.
-----
27 And the LORD said unto Moses, Write thou these words: for after the tenor of these words I have made a covenant with thee and with Israel.
28 And he was there with the LORD forty days and forty nights; he did neither eat bread, nor drink water. And he wrote upon the tables the words of the covenant, the ten commandments.

One more vote damnit! C'mon, sifters! Give it to me good!

YES! FINALLY! I hope it was as good for you as it was for me.

Seeing as you're new here, let me just lay the ground rules... We generally don't buy into the whole "Bible" thing, so you are free to sift any way you like... anal sift, oral sift, as long as you use a condom.

Angels and Demons are REAL! Snakes can talk, people can fly, and a man named Jesus lives in the sky! Magic is REAL! Old bearded men wearing burlap sacks can WALK ON WATER! It happened! It really did!
