If Christians adhere to the Ten Commandments, why do I see them using "Calvin" praying stickers on their cars? Don't they know those images were stolen from Bill Waterson, who never granted use for Calvin (an atheist mind you) to be put on merchandise? This is a clear violation of the Fifth Commandment brought by Moses to the chosen people directly from God Himself who etched them in the stone tablets according to the bible and were kept in the Ark of the Covenant in the Holy of Holies in the Temple in Jerusalem.
Are Christians okay with this theft?
This seems highly hypocritical to say the least.
Your thoughts -

Please! Don't cop to the, "I didn't know it was styolen..." bit.
Boo-frikin'-hoo!
Ignorance of the law is not a defense.

Hhhmm. So if you didn't know it was stolen that absolves you from breaking the commandment? I see...
Them if I go to Thailand and buy a sex slave from a guy who enslaved the sex slave, and I don't ask him if she was enslaved, then by the same logic I am not guilty of slavery!?
This is ******** pure and simple. Cuh-mon, do some research.
Now answer the question: Are they guilty of breaking the Fifth Commandment?

You are right. Christians are hypocritical beyond belief.

If what you are saying is true, ok its wrong. But if what your saying is inncorrect then *shrug*. The point I want to make is, how are you infering the fact that one man, who stole from Bill waterson, who stole the image, makes ALL christians hypocritical. I had not even heard of this untill now. So am I a hypocritic because of something I didn't even know, nor do? I'm sorry, I'm just a stupid Christian who can't seem to understand your logic ^.^.

I think most people don't really know the image was stolen from Bill Waterson. Also if someone loves something they will find means to justify not so positive behaviour.

I doubt very seriously that most people christian or not knows weather Calvin granted use or not, they see the stickers and like them and buy them, so there-for it's not THEM stealing it's whoever illegally used Calvin's image that stole, not the Christians, and everyone else that has these stickers.

Wasn't aware of the theft.
Searched some & discovered Mr. Watterson was a Mormon.
Found Calvin - 1st interview since the breakup:

"Thou shall not scouse borrow" isn't an theory it fairly is unique to Christianity. it really is a word that some distance outdates it, rather contained in the Code of Hammurabi. this is compared to we necessary Christianity to go back alongside to inform us that taking stuff that would not belong to us from human beings is undesirable. this isn't something more effective than a thinly-veiled "our rules are depending upon Christian concepts" argument. You lose, kthxbye.
