Time to Modernise the ten commandments?

Post by bennie » February 15th, 2005, 6:58 am

I view all this religion stuff the way I view all superstitions and folklore: whatever floats your boat, man.

Each to his own and all that other liebral crap I believe in.

There will be a UK TV show aired in a few weeks where all the heads of the five families, sorry, I mean, all the heads of the "main religions" sit around a big black glass like table (probably) and discuss the relevance of the 10 commandments and up date them.

Doesn't that, by its very nature inccur the wrath of God in itself? Surely, to assume the irrelevance of these commandments is to assume god is fallible? He won't like that!

This is the article that brought this to my attention. It's quite an amusing read in some parts.

this is funny, bennie

these are my modern commandments:

Thou shalt not have sex with a celebrity or an athlete and then cry 'rape.'

Honor thy basic food groups (pizza, burgers, fries, beer)

Thou shalt not have an erection that lasts more than four hours without calling thy doctor.

Thou shalt not max out thy credit card calling porn numbers.

Honor thy gas guzzling SUV, for it gets you to the job you hate every day.

Thou shalt not eat from the tree of knowledge of good and evil. Just take George Bush's word for it. (or Fox News)

Thou shalt not enter the hot tub with thy neighbor's wife unless thy neighbor is out of town and there is no chance of getting caught.

Thou shalt not take it in the vein.

The Rebublicrat Party is a jealous party, thou shalt have no parties before it.

In fact, thou shalt not party at all, go to church.
