Why 10 commandments?

[PICK3]

If you live your life by the Golden Rule, e.g., do right by others (or as you would have them do to you) ... is 10 commandants necessary?

If you do right by people that pretty much covers:
don't kill them
don't fuck their wife’s
don't steal their shit
etc ...

 

[HumorMe]

don't kill them
don't fuck their wife’s
don't steal their shit
etc ...

I've never seen it written like that. What book and chapter is that?

that was funny when they did that. and it does make you wonder why there isnt 11 commandments.

Best scene in the movie when he couldnt understand whether it went up to the 10 or 11, the volume of the amplifier was still same. Or 12 commandments like how many inches in a foot, metric hadnt been invented yet!

damn! did it say what the 5 were? three tablets is kind of awkward to carry.

 

[BrothaBill]

"Don't ban Pick3" unfortunately is NOT a commandment

Didn't George Carlin do a whole stand up bit about this?

 

[H_T_]

I don't know ... I never wheezed it from him.

Although I just wheezed the term wheeze from Pauly Shore, e.g. "Don't wheeze my gig, buddy."

 

[spongebob]

aw yes commandment #12


thou shalt not wheeze.

It got reduced to 2 commandments in the new testament.
1. Love the Lord your God with all your heart, soul, and mind.
2. Love thy neighbor as thyself.

God realized (or just wanted to show us) that simplicity worked better for people maybe?

He boils it down to 2.

Don't fuck with your neighbors shit.
Don't kill anyone.

 

[ChefWide]

[BrothaBill]

[ChefWide]

Mine go up to 611

"... he was killed in a bizarre gardening accident.. tragic. really, tragic."

 

[BrothaBill]

611 referring back to my spinal tap posts earlier in the thread where the guitarist said his amp went up to 11 rather than 10. Had to see the movie to get the joke.

Since my quote is FROM the movie, you might be right.




"When you stumble on a clod of earth and tumble groin-first into the business end of your trowel, it's a nasty business."

Been years since Ive seen it, about the only I remember is the 11 thing and the cucumber going through security screening at the airport, might be about time to rent it again, funny movie.

Since I'm old enough to have known Moses, I know the truth. There were originally 25 commandments, but those cheap stone tablets kept breaking, so he finally through his hands up in disgust after the fifth one broke. Once he got ten done he read them, thought for a minute, and looked up to the sky and shouted "If you want these other ones written down you're going to have to do it yourself, or get me a pen and paper, these stone tablets suck. I'm going with the Reader's Digest version."






I know, I'm going to hell.

And Moses did Turn Towards the Mountain and Said:






"Well there goes my vacation!"
