I was driving to work this morning, and the news on the radio said : "The Ministry of Religion and Culture held an event at XXX park to urge people to go to temples on Sundays." And that's when I suddenly realized why one of the Ten Commandment says "Go to church on Sundays."
I find it very interesting that so many people who claim that religion is very important to them fail to uphold the ten laws they are meant to follow without exception.
There are total of TEN commandments, right? I just understood ONE of them. The one that says you should go to church on Sunday. Why? Why would God tell you to go to church on Sundays? I wasn't thinking about this, but when I heard on the radio about the campaign the government was doing, to get the people to go to temples on Sundays, I immediately realized that it was politically motivated. (I live in Thailand, a very Buddistic country. But there is great unrest amongst the people coz the country is so fucked up, and there are bombs going off every other day. So in an attempt to keep the unrest of the people down, the government is urging the people to go to temples on Sundays instead of going around making troubles.)
^^ Well if its keeps the peace, its all good. Are you Buddhist, Christian, or other? Is Buddhistic a word? Firefox says no.
I'm not a Buddist, I'm not a Christian... I'm not a muslim either. No religion. I don't think Buddistic is a word... but it's an adjective of Budda or Buddism. Yeah... I think it's a good idea if people went to temples on Sundays... or any other days... Just... may be once a week would be nice. I should go to a temple right now... I'm so stressed, my aggressive level is WAY too high. I'm so ready to kill the next unlucky person who gives me a headache.
The reason there are ten commandments is because ten sounds official. If it was the nine commandments people wouldn't take it seriously, they'd be like, "The nine commandments? Get the fuck out of here!"
are you sure about that? [ame=http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=4TAtRCJIqnk]YouTube - Moses - Ten Commandments - Mel Brooks[/ame]
Oh, please. I'll bet if you were to survey 1,000 people walking out of a church, you would be surprised at how many of them could even name the 10 Commandments, much less follow them...
I thought it was because Moses dropped two tablets on his way down... Actually there were 20 commandments, 5 on each tablet, so total of 4 stone tablets, but Moses dropped 2 on his way down. So we only have 10. Wish he had dropped all of them, but the old man was pretty strong.
I do three sets of ten commandments to tone up, and I switch to 2 sets of 20 commandments when I wanna add mass and bulk up.
first off the hebrew sabboth is saturday and thats really the only one you understand? you dont understand "dont kill" "dont steal" " dont lie" "dont cheat on your wife" "be nice to mum and pop" im not a very religious person but to deny the ethical value of these laws out of anti religous spite which is starting to happen in america is just foolish of us
There are hundreds of "Commandments" in the old testament. Don't wear mixed fibres, don't boil a kid (Young goat) in it's mothers milk... Among others. They were in place to make god's chosen people stand out from their common counterparts. The big 10 are supposedly the ones that remained in affect after the messiah came to offer salvation.
