bexrbetter Posted August 18, 2015 Posted August 18, 2015 Bex, where's the secular knowledge in that post? Isn't that what this thread is all about? I mean, if you keep drifting off like this , we'll end up with thousands of off beat contributions.... Ahh, actually it was "Two Mules For Sister Sara". The movie had some nice ass in it.
Marty_d Posted August 18, 2015 Posted August 18, 2015 That's what I tried to tell them at the Cinema while watching that Kim Bassinger movie .... Did the bag of Twisties fall off?
nomadpete Posted August 19, 2015 Posted August 19, 2015 Reminder to all: Thread title = "Athiest knowledge" Pleeease. Don't let the side down.
Yenn Posted August 19, 2015 Posted August 19, 2015 Thou shalt not covet thy neighbours wife Nor the ass he bought her. but thank the lord. it's not forbidden to covet thy neighbours daughter
nomadpete Posted August 24, 2015 Posted August 24, 2015 [ATTACH=full]37493[/ATTACH][/quote Now you're drifting back into politics again....... Sounds like a typical party meeting
Marty_d Posted August 24, 2015 Posted August 24, 2015 I'd agree with that... don't they still start Parliament with a prayer?

Marty_d Posted August 26, 2015 Posted August 26, 2015 I don't blame the poor bugger for running, he's just trying to get out of the way before his boat smacks him.
facthunter Posted August 26, 2015 Posted August 26, 2015 Hope he isn't running like the DEVIL. Walking on water must have it's problems. How do you get a grip on it when climbing those giant Atlantic waves?( I suppose you do it with small steps). Getting back to the commandments. They are hardly inspiring. I heard the purchaser said OK, I'll take 10. when he found out they were free. Do unto others as you would have them do unto you and judge not, lest YE be judged.. He who is without sin cast the first stone , sounds OK to me for a start, but I guess you have to think about those, though. Nev.
turboplanner Posted August 26, 2015 Posted August 26, 2015 Bit of a problem if you work as a stone caster though. Slow start to each day.
Marty_d Posted August 26, 2015 Posted August 26, 2015 They may have been on tablets, but they're a bit hard to swallow.

DonRamsay Posted August 27, 2015 Posted August 27, 2015 I was gobsmacked that after more than 2,500 posts, somebody would trot out the 10 Commandments . . . again! What I did find funny is that there isn't even agreement amongst the various abrahamic sects as to what the words actually are. [ATTACH]47698._xfImport[/ATTACH] And then there is the interpretation: ISIS whose every waking hour is driven by the "10 commandments" seem to think that a temple in which nobody has worshipped in millennia should be destroyed because it comes under the heading of being in breach of Commandment No. 2 (depending on your preferred numbering system). While people cling to the 10 commandments like a drowning man clinging to a straw they probably have no knowledge of how they came into being or even their source in your preferred version of the Bible.
facthunter Posted August 27, 2015 Posted August 27, 2015 Religion isn't good at dealing with "sects". Nev

If you look deeper, you will some references to a total of 14 commandments.
facthunter Posted August 27, 2015 Posted August 27, 2015 Perhaps some don't count. "unbelievers etc" Nev
nomadpete Posted August 31, 2015 Posted August 31, 2015 Commandment, commandments, commandments...... I know that Wiki is subject to some degree of criticism, but it says.. "combining Moses's 611 commandments with the first two of the Ten Commandments which were the only ones heard directly from God, adds up to 613." So maybe back in the sixth century BCE, they trialled the whole 613 but eventually gave up trying to get the punters to remember them all? And what's this about only the first two being the only ones heard directly from god? Who made up the other eight? Why didn't Moses get credit for devising all those hundreds of others? My Sunday school teacher didn't mention any of this.
nomadpete Posted August 31, 2015 Posted August 31, 2015 Come to think of it, that reference seems to say that the only commandments that came directly from god were the two selfish paranoid ones about god and that the other popular eight were invented by earthlings to control general behaviour.
Yenn Posted August 31, 2015 Posted August 31, 2015 The church that I was brought up in had only 1 commandment. Thou shalt not.
Marty_d Posted September 1, 2015 Posted September 1, 2015 And the one just for sailors... Thou shalt knot.
