The Ten Commandments ? The first 5 are completely irrelevant ,and the cause of so much torture , persecutions and death throughout the centuries into todays' insane world of fanatacs and fundamentalist----> "holy chosen ones" ... The 6th commandment shows some hope that it mentions compassion , but only on the favored chosen few , so what kind of love really is that ? The 7th commandment also shows promise , in that it asks the witness of creation to embrace the holiness of all ...and yet the aborigine or native american indian also knew this love of creation and revered the animals he killed , and like the Sons of Abraham did make blood sacrifices too to that end . Nothing new in this commandment , except the sons of Abraham far excelled the native americans for instance in the mass slaughter of animals by the 10's of 1000's in the "Holy Temple of Jerusalem " , that was built by slave labor enforced by the righteous King David and those 15 tribes he enslaved around him ? The 8th 9th and 10th commandments were stolen from Babylon and the Pagans of keeping the Sabbath day holy , but so is most of your religion in the first place ...stolen. And it was a nice try too , i might add. The word "Sabbath" comes directly from the word Sabbatu from the Babylonian meaning day of rest. (as you get the word "God" originally from the aryan Sanskrit...the word for "light") The 11th notes that God created the world in 7 days ...well we know this to be patently untrue , as the world is quite a bit older than 4,003 yrs old , and was not "created" at 9am in the morning as the Church positioned back in the 6th century along with flat earths that were the center of the universe. 13 Thou shalt not kill. 14 Thou shalt not commit adultery. 15 Thou shalt not steal. 16 Thou shalt not bear false witness against thy neighbour. 17 Thou shalt not covet thy neighbour's house, thou shalt not covet thy neighbour's wife, nor his manservant, nor his maidservant, nor his ox, nor his ass, nor any thing that is thy neighbour's ***these remaining commandements seem to condone slavery if I am not mistaken ? Thou shall not covet thy neighbor's man & maidservants ? Not killing or stealing was fairly much already known in the ancient world , but awefully nice of Moses to mention them again , though children of nature already knew these things some 50,000 yrs earlier...and in earlier cultures they were codified into laws as well. Nothing new or more "holy" in this , but makes for some fine story telling by the campfire...or when preaching to the choir of the chosen few. regards Mars

Do you have even the slightest idea of how many animals were slaughtered at all on the altars of the Temple in Jerusalem thru those centuries since it was built ? For Jehova ? Do you have any idea at all? Would you guess 1000's of them ? You would be wrong , for the number goes well into the 100,000's actually and probably . It is funny that this is not mentioned very much at all these days , or in the past about one of the Son's of Abrahams favorite pastimes on par or excelling the pagan in this practice. That Temple in Jerusalem was a complete slaughter house in actuality , and had special gutters & spillways built into it to let the blood run down and drain away from the sanctuary in small rivers of red. And at the end of town was where "hell" was , a place where the bodies were thrown off the cliffs with as much cruelty as any pagan sacrifice of the Aztec , but in far, far greater numbers. Funny that in India they let animals run freely about their temples and will not harm them ...but they are called "Idolators". funny world ... yes it is . Now tell us about "non-killing" and the "Ten Commandments" Santiago , and all the plagues and pestilence that God sent down on the helpless for the righteous ones sake ? Such a love & cult of blood-sacrifice for everlasting life ....but to bleed is the ultimate sacrifce ,and to die for one's friends in the name of righteousness , can still be seen in today's world . Just ask any suicide bomber's friend over in Palestine today , whos family wins praise of the community and is assured of their place in heaven . Not forgettting the wars , persecutions and crusades of the past, in the name of "___" , while you reflect on that .
