The Ten Commandments are a source of endless Give Up joy.
Fark pointed out
Colbert's hysterical interview with Congressman Westmoreland from last night. In it he asks the guy who (co?)sponsored a bill to put the Ten Commandments in every public building in the universe two great questions. First, can you think of any better building than a public building to put in the Commandments? The reply, "no". Ha! Then the second question, can you name the Ten Commandments? He falters out about 5 of them I think.
Ahh, it's so pathetic when the atheists know your damn Commandments but you don't!
My favorite Commandment is the first one which, at least in my version, is the no idolatry/graven images one. It is my favorite for two great Give Up reasons. First, everyone, when asked, says there is nothing wrong with posting the Ten Commandments in schools, buses, theme parks, wherever because they're not really religious, they're just a code of conduct (even though the first few are, well, a little churchy if you ask me). Second, because when Roy Moore protested the removal of his big, honking granite sculpture in Alabama I remember seeing the news footage of people erecting their own cardboard and home-made Commandments, and then kneeling down and praying in front of them! Ha!
I love idolatry. The way I interpret the spirit of the 1st Commandment, all the 10 commandment granite block worshippers were guilty of violating the 1st freaking commandment. Here they create a big graven image, then kneel all around it praying!
