What would the "TEN COMMANDMENTS" look like if Moses had to run them by Congress?

Answer 1

They would be 120 pages long and have red tape all over them.
Ill stick with Moses on this one.

.

Answer 2

Moses " Still waiting" what another committee, you know it has been three thousand years and we have not even gotten the first Commandment done and voted on.
OK,OK summer break
Help me Lord

Answer 3

they would have to grandfather in that everyone in Congress was exempt from all past actions. Then they would attach a piece for $360 million for social programs (for the dems) and another $1.3 billion for the war in Iraq (for the repub's) just to get them passed.

Answer 4

Though shalt not steal except from the rich.
Though shalt not commit adultery unless it is homosexual.
Though shalt not kill unless it is an unborn baby.
Though shalt not covet thy neighbors wife unless she is bi-sexual
Though shalt not covet thy neighbors property unless a spotted owl is on it.
Though shalt not bear false witness unless it is a republican.
Though shalt not have no gods before me unless her name is Hillary.
Though shall keep the Sabbath Holy, except on Sundays.
Though shall honor thy unwed mother and look for my father.
Though shall use no logic or facts in the interest to perpetuate my hatred for what is good and just.

Answer 5

I know if they had to run them by Walmart, the keeping the day of the Sabbath holy wouldn't be there.

Perhaps it would look better and make more sense,
how about thou shalt not rape rather than thou shalt not take the lord's name in vain--surely that ranks more important by any standard....except "God's"...lol.
,how about thou shalt not hurt children, thou shalt not torture animals,
surely not hurting children is more important than honoring your mother and father--especially if your mother is an abusive, boozing piece of crap and your father is raping you.

Our advanced modern laws derived from England Common law make MUCH more sense and are far superior than God's (moses) wimpy ten "laws".
--Thou shalt not covet thy neighbor's goods? You could name at least 10 modern laws that rank above that in moral dilemma.

Thank GOD we put child rapists in jail in the modern age,
as opposed to biblical days, where the child was forced to marry and then stoned to death if the old man decided he didn't like her and lied about her not "bleeding" on her wedding night.

Would any war be started for profit if our government stood by "thou shalt not kill"?

Answer 9

Republicans would have made some alterations -

I. Thou shalt have no other gods before me, except for money.

II. Thou shalt not make unto thee any graven image, or any likeness of any thing that is in heaven above, or that is in the earth beneath, or that is in the water under the earth, unless it's useful for political photo ops or campaign sloganeering.

III. Take not the Lord's Name in vain, but invoke it as often as possible when pandering politically to your base.

IV. Remember the Sabbath Day, and keep it holy by telling all faithful who they are supposed to vote for.

IX. Thou shalt bear false witness against thy neighbour if thou can damage him, politically, or if the truth prevents thou from doing what thou wants.

X. Thou shalt covet thy neighbour's house, if it's nicer than yours, thou shalt covet thy neighbour's wife, or his manservant (if you are in the closet), or his maidservant, and his ox, and his *** (again, if you are in the closet, but make sure you preach against homosexuality while you're at it), or any thing that is thy neighbour's that is better than yours.

Answer 10

It would have taken him another 100 years to hammer those into stone.
