That was fun watching. Yes, one of the things that bothers me is that they want something posted that they don't consider as a group. That's why Carter walked away from them in the end. They vehemently bear false witness. Abortion was going on during Jesus time, they used a plant to induce it - it had other uses, and is extinct now, we used it up. A big chunk of kids died in birth back then, and they still aborted, and God didn't condemn it outright, but you couldn't say godammit.
Except for "thou shalt not kill", "not bear false witness", and "not steal", it's a trite list. What kind of God forbids you to take his name in vain as a big moral lesson? Exactly what was going on when they fashioned that one? Was everyone saying. "fuck dog"?
I think I'm an atheist because I avidly devoured Fantasy and Sci Fi, so when I read the bible it fit right in, I read it as Fantasy, with a little Sci Fi mixed in. But it wasn't written well in my book, the writer wasn't my favorite author. I went to Sunday School, then I skipped out on Sunday School and went down to the clubhouse and friends and began reading Lord of the Rings. I enjoyed my friends. I think Sandy LeeLee was right when she said it's not hard to understand, "don't hurt anyone". But let's face it - our Pres is on a vengeance tour, and "kill them all" falls in line with this thinking. Ah, well,
