One commandment should have been, as George Carlin said, "Thou shalt keep thy religion to thy self."
That's the Best one
Amen!
Jesus says something similar in the new testament about praying, then later contradicts himself...
Then you would be robbing, raping and murdering at will.
@@blackice9088he never contradicted himself
“Thou shalt always be honest and faithful to the provider of thy nookie.”: George Carlin.
Thall shall try really hard not to kill anyone unless of course they pray to a different invisible man than you do
"Don't be a dick".
That covers everything.
Pretty much. That one phrase pretty much sums up moral philosophy.

George Carlin does the best 10 commandment analysis out there!😂
And generally the best analysis of religion in general!
@@blackice9088 If someone wrote a book today of men walking on water, talking bushes and a giant boat with two of every creature on it, they'd either be asked to take that book to the fiction shelf or asked what substances the authors were taking. Yet here we are, in 2023, still having grown adults believing a book with exactly those claims in.

Excellent point, well said👍
My mother gave me several commandments that are not found in the Bible.
For example...."Thou shalt tidy thy room and doest thy homework henceforth !"
And... "Thou shalt not pull thy sister's hair for pain of a wack with yonder coat hanger".
Wtf😂😂

I stopped pulling my sister's hair.

Good morning everyone. I wrote a message to each of our Patron supporters today and in case you guys didn't see that I also wanted to personally thank you for your kindness and support.
Without your support we could not spend many hours every month on making the content you like.
Just to give you an idea each "Best of" videos takes 5 hours of work on average and we have been pushing to make a video every other day which adds up to approximately 75 hours per month. That is aside from responding to emails, Facebook and other social-media platforms that we have.
Thank you guys again for your support and it is a honor serving such an amazing community.
We wish you great a great weekend and coming holidays from all of us at Agatan Foundation.
I'm a 75 yr old farmer in S. Saskatchewan and I have never yet figured out how to keep my cows from working on the sabbath. Those udders just won't stop storing milk after day 6 and restart on day 1. Too confusing for the cow!
You have to stone your cows to death!

Only on your mind. Do you know any apologists? Rev gene kim, non thieme, Mike Winger et al.
Who needs apologists?
Many feel fundamentalism is dangerous and if you read the Old Testament as literal words from God in all circumstances it is scary to those who have read it very closely.
How about "Thou shalt wash your hands before eating and after the restroom" would have saved millions of lives smh
Thou shalt surely take care of thy teeth, or thou shalt suffer excruciating pain and death.
Couldn't have said it better at this time.
pretty sure washimg before eating is part of the law
@@lightmaze7738 My thought as well. Wish I would have said that.
you do realise that theres a law in the bible to wash your hands before you eat? given in the same time frame as the ten commandments..

Your no exception every last one of you can quote the same verse and it wouldnt mean a thing. why because relious people just have an imaginary friend backing what they already believe.

Atheists dont have to quote the bible out of contest because the entire thing is an abomination.
What kind of all-knowing, all-powerful, loving, compassionate God would be jealous of anyone or anything? That doesn't sound like a god; that sounds more like an angry, paranoid, petty, spiteful old man....
The greed for money...
Why would any real god need to threaten his own creations?
Why if he hates them ,does he continue to make 1/10 of all animals species homosexuals?
Why would he allow so many gods to be invented,if again he dislikes them being worshipped?
How did our morals get to better than this religion’s leader ? (Slavery)

Dear God, no! No seconds version of the ten commandments
In the reading of #4, keeping the sabbath, the list of those prohibited from doing work on the sabbath is fairly extensive, including your children, your beasts of burden, your servants and those visiting with you. I guess the reason your wife is omitted is because either, well, somebody gotta look after all those having a day off, or she’s included in one of the other categories.
I like that one, actually. It's the only one that makes sense.
We all need a weekly repast, and any excuse will do.
The only way you'd think of your wife as not included would be if you had so little respect for her as to think that she wasn't worthy of reading the commandment as applying to herself, "Remember the Sabbath-day to keep it holy. Six days shalt thou labor, and do all thy work: but the seventh day is the Sabbath of the Lord thy God; on it thou shalt not do any work..."
Thank you.
"The current laws are based on the 10 commandments"
I have yet to see one based on the first five ones.
The second five are themselves based on the first five. There's your answer.
But sleeping with more then one woman is fun! Especially in the old testament. Variety is good at the buffet.

@@BogartSlap I’m not taking moral instruction from god: If god ever DID appear as a human on earth, he would promptly be arrested, tried in The Hague for crimes against humanity, war crimes, accessory to child rape, inflicting plagues, genocide, infanticide, murder, ethnic cleansing etc. He would be found guilty, and put against the wall and shot.
I’d happily pull the trigger.

What's funny about what Aron Ra says about Texas liquor stores (and the ones in my state as well) being closed on Sundays is that I was raised as a Jew and we spent the entire Shabat (From Friday at sunset to Saturday at sunset,) drinking wine. Sure we prayed but every prayer was finished with a drink of temple wine. I was allowed to do this even as a child. It wasn't enough to get drunk, or even a buzz tho'.
"Thou shal not take the name of the Lord God in vain," This is almost literally all that God is useful for, goddamnit.
Hexx: Good god, you're SO right.
Hexx Bombastus. what does in vain mean
It's useful for the concept it produces and the problems it may engender which makes it somewhat circular so still effectively useless.
@@iamthatiamiamthatiam2942 Good question. I think vain means useless. Hexx finds useless things to be useful. Hexx is one of those other gods.
It’s not God translated it’s Helohim, plural word.
I think our species had developed an innate sense of equity, reciprocity, and respect for others long before the writers of the Bible, Quran, Torah, etc. took their attempts at codifying it, because that sense was necessary to our species’ survival on a planet where 99% of all species that have come into being are extinct. We had already evolved that sense to the point where codifying it was not really necessary. The best attempt I’ve heard to date at codifying that sense is “Do unto others as they would have you do unto them.” I like this version because it requires an equitable investment by both parties in the relationship. If one follows that maxim, there’s no real need for a list of “commandments” - a word, by the way that doesn’t seem to connote equity and reciprocity in a relationship.
It makes me laugh every time AronRo says, "The lord, THY GOD...."
on aron-ra's point, the don't draw anything of anything rule is a very strict rule. A good example of it is shown in Chiam Potok's novel "My name is Asher lev" the main character is a hasidic jew but he's also a natural artist. there is contention over this in the book and the sequel after it
Indeed, Aron keeps conflating Judaism with Christianity.
I can't help but say it, but Aron Ra does the ten commandments the best.
Aron Ra sounds like flatulence when he speaks.
@@Kenneth-ts7bp Very typical coming from someone that can't speak at all.
Strange how many idols in the form of art were allowed to be in the Temple of Solomon.
The Vatican and each and every Catholic Church everywhere in the world.
@@jandrews6254 They build churches, painting, making images..instead of helping people in need, oh only the left over are good for the poor, also the clothes we don't need anymore 😏
"Solomon was the wisest of all men" until he gave in to too many women. Yeah that was his frigging downfall alright.
An never ending roundabout!! The "individual" is vastly more important than the group, for in dialog we can find "harmony", the diversity of ideas or views lubricate the thinking "machine", give up self, lose same.
But you'd have to wait til the day after the sabbath to stone the guy working on the sabbath or you'd be working on the sabbath..... or not? Maybe stoning doesn't count as work.
You would have to wait until the day after the sabbath to arrest the man working on the sabbath by which time he would have run for his life.
The punishment for breaking the Sabbath seems to be a form of labor that appears to be allowed in the Bible. In the Old Testament to re-enforce the Sabbath a man set up guards around the city wall to kill any that attempted to approach the city to trade on the Sabbath.
@@mekelreen9869 And since all those guards were on, well, "guard duty", which is a form of labor, they would have to be stoned to death. The next day, I suppose.
Tekhartha Zenyatta actually killing those who break the sabbath is the only thing in the Old Testament that is permitted to be done on the sabbath, ironic isn’t it? Well more that doing the lords work, there was the prophet who was ordered to make a fire with goat or sheep shit on the sabbath, some kind of symbolism of the shit storm god was about to send to the people for not observing the sabbath, stuff like that.
@@mekelreen9869 Awesome! "Thou shalt not kill.....except for those bastards who don't like resting."

How many of you have known of a child with cancer, or dying of a disease, of how could any God allow such a thing if he was real???
Why would God, (if there is one) allow this???
@@daveberry5901 well, according to the Bible, god did sent people to kill children by crushing their skulls against rocks, so I guess we can't expect the christian God to have any sympathy for babies who are born with cancer
Well done.

"Thou shalt not cut people off nor make an illegal turn, especially, not without a turn signal. Thou shalt also actually use thyn turn signal to commit a turn, and thou shall not do this at the last second, but thou shalt turn on thyn signal, at least, 500 ft before the turn, thus sayeth the Lord!"--- Would have saved many.

@@katrand5357 I have more problems than traffic problems. I was just being goofy.
Nice Bill Cosby quote at the end.
Brilliant analysis!
When Aron Ra speaks a commandment it sounds extremely badass.
What is meant by not having représentations of things spiritual is an incentement to develop one's intuition of things, to understand subtil realities, a way to fight stereotyping, prejudice, catégorisations, dogmas. What is meant by one God is an incentement to totalise reality, to see it as one. Historically it is the reflection of centralised societies through states also. What is meant about hateyourbrother, sister, etc is not to rely on anyone or anything besides life. Life provides us spiritually with what we need. I have come before Mohammed which was the last prophet.

Joke of the year in my opinion
The tradition of the Sabbath led to Saturday night being the "party night" and all those church hangovers. (I swear one of the churches I went to actually had little "barf bags" in the pews.)
part 2?
Thou shalt wash thy hands before eating.
And they kept that one... Until Jesus.
It Is Jesus That Said To Wash Your Hands Before You Eat. To Pray Before You Eat And To Love Your Enemies As They Wish To Hate You. No Other Person In History Has Been Able To Accomplish What Jesus Yeshua Has Accomplished. Satan Created Catholicism And It Was The Roman Jesuit Vatican Church That Persecuted Many Early Christians And Apostles Of Christ. Basic Christians Who Believe The Bible Are The Godhead Of The Church. Sunday Is Not The Sabbath. Sunday Sabbath Is A Worldly Tradition Of Men.
Jesus is no better...simply because HE didn't condemn those atrocities!!
IOW, Jesus is an ACCESSORY to those crimes!
Thou shall not piss on your hands, then no need to wash your hands before eating, unless you’re an employee

You are very welcome
Words have different levels of meaning. If you dont believe in the true God you will almost certainly, ultimately make yourself your god. God assumes you are capable of understanding that simple distinction.
@@cheliooceanstrength4657 So Moses assumed that if the Hebrews did not believe in Yahweh they would start to worship themselves as their gods, (divine) beings
with superhuman qualities? Assuming some of those Hebrews would continue, or start again, believing in other "true" gods was more likely to be the real problem.
@@marcvanec8526 not really sure what Moses assumed or what you are exactly trying to say. There is only one true God. 'other gods' are expressions we use, of things we revere, serve and worship; figures of speech.
it is very hard to understand what you have written, but I think I get most of your reasoning and don't say you are wrong. But I do not really see your overall point. I think that you complicated the issue way too much. Language is an art, filled with nuance and complexity, symbolism, allagory and metaphor. We often don't know the motive of the speaker, or the listener. Because of this, it is usually important to simplify it as much as possible by stating your overall point and then building the argument to support it. To a believer it is usually clear when we have replaced or diminished our love for God with other things. This is because we have what is called 'Special Revelation' from God through his Word, both Old and New Testament, and 'General Revelation' through his creation and the marvelous wonders around us. Both of these are discerned by us through the Holy Spirit who Christ promised would come from the Father in Christ's name, to teach us all things and to remind us of what we already have learned. So no one will have an excuse when we are held to account by Him. So we constantly search oiur own soul for what is right and true. Yet when we fail, even in our earnest searching for the truth, we have Gods love in the form of grace, unmerited by us, a gift from our loving God. Our part? Love the Lord your God with all your heart, soul and mind, as gratitude to Him.
Awesome video.
Great compilation. If anyone can please mention to Aron Ra that his slide with the quotation from ‘Revelations 21:8’ should have the reference changed to ‘Revelation 21:8’. Just a minor oversight.
Excellent video. Makes me proud to know that I am not the punchline to the colossal joke that is religion.
Thank you Louis
Hello, why don't you have a personal relationship with our Lord and Saviour Jesus Christ? The Son of The One and Only Living God. That if thou shalt confess with thy mouth the Lord Jesus, and shalt believe in thine heart that God hath raised him from the dead, thou shalt be saved. - Romans 10:9

You should check out Mircea Eliade. His novels tey to explain why we humans have obsession to believe some higher force of nature.
"Makes me proud" - Ah, yes, the Original Sin - Pride. Just out of curiosity, exactly how do you derive being "proud" of that? I mean, assuming that your chosen philosophical stance is one of atheism, managing to not be a punchline to some religion-related joke would appear to be a very, very minor "accomplishment" - about on the level of taking pride in your ability to tie your own shoes.
The only benefit of the first commandment is that it proves the existence of other gods, according to god. That's black and white, as plain as it gets. And any cultists of Abraham who disagree deny their god's statement, claiming they know better than it. Q.E.D. That sounds like hubris of the highest order. They're going to get spanked!
The Bible also described how God slew the gods of Egypt, which even more clearly illustrates that they believed other gods were real.
Corn Pone Wow! Good point!
No, he didn't slay them at all. Only the people who worshiped them, and as a display of power, regardless of who it hurt.
"I will bring judgment on all the gods of Egypt. I am the LORD."
Big words for such an insecure deity.
The whole thing screams of insecurity.
I found this video very interesting.
I, For Better or Worse, have been blessed or cursed with excellent critical thinking, analytical and deductive reasoning skills. These skills combined with an Ultra fine BS filter,
has from a very young age caused me to feel as though I were on the outside looking in, observing and analyzing the most ridiculous beliefs and actions of mankind. Mankind's religious beliefs often appear to be the biggest hurdle in the quest to live a happy, healthy prosperous and cohesive life with our life-giving and sustaining Earth and his fellow man.
Interviewer: Such as?
Dr. Parker: One of the tensest moments for me came when we started discussing uranium-lead and other Radio-Metric Dating Methods used for estimating the age of the earth. I felt sure that all the silly creationistic arguments would be shot down, but just the opposite happened.
In one graduate class, the professor told us we didn’t have to memorize the dates of the geologic systems since they were far from certain and riddled with contradictions.
Then in geophysics we went over all the assumptions that go into Radio-Metric Dating. Afterwards, the professor said something like this, “If a fundamentalist [creationist] ever got hold of this stuff [criteria], he would make havoc out of the Radio Metric Dating System. So, keep the faith. [I wonder how many classes he had said and taught this to.] “I WAS SHOCKED! If it was a matter of keeping faith, I had another faith I preferred to keep.
Imagine if the government had the power of a god.
There would be no need for bus lanes, traffic wardens, police, lawyers, judges and guns.
Likewise, if God had the power of a god, there would be no need for the Ten Commandments.
You only need commandments if you lack power.
Respectfully suggest you misunderstand the purpose of the commandments. It's not to ensure the enforcement of law.

Did Moses and the gang also stone the guy who had to collect the stones, on Sabbath, for stoning the man who collected sticks on Sabbath?
Yeah I thought of that too maybe it was the next day and got time off work .
For your answer go to the stoning of Stephen in the book of Acts CH 7 54-60
This is what should be taught in schools
Instead of science and mathematics? What should be taught are the various believed interpretations as far as theology classes go and general education should include theology classes, not the atheists strawmen of them. Neither belongs in a science class.

16:55 can anybody back this up and help me find examples of these scholars he speaks of.
I think I will make up ten better commandments just off the top of my head...
1.Thou shall care what thy believes is true and know why it is true.
2. Might makes right is not a virtue.
3. All individuals shall be treated as a God and respected as such, you would never kill God would you?
4. Man is perfect, loving, intelligent and reasonable. *See pygmalion effect studies for the reason why.
5. thou shall reject being told what to think and instead understand how to think.
6. There is no virtue in a sacrifice, but much virtue in finding permanent cures and methods of prevention.
7. Science, reason, critical thinking is a necessity if one is to hold an honest relationship with reality.
8. Believing without evidence is self dishonesty, it means you are a liar and you have lied to yourself.
9. There is no virtue in being an unthinking follower, having an externally guidable mind, this is what makes wars possible.
10. Science is the only tool we hold to discern real facts from fiction, that a tool is only as good as the philosophy a majority holds, holding an objective rational philosophy is the highest virtue. Corrupt men using a tool does not mean the tool is corrupt.

That's nice, ITR, except that you can't account for evidence, reason, love, etc without God.
Beautiful
Sorry MyITR, but these are just highly refutable platitudes with enumerable exceptions to each one, which is exactly why the relativist scholars like Hitch etc wont even try to put a real concrete list of 10 cogent thoughts together. They know they cant. The original still stands as a preeminent monument, a beacon, untouched and unconcerned by the desperate flurry of dead mortals. Like a vapor they are gone.

Interviewer: Are there other examples like this?
Dr. Parker: Lots of them. One concerns the word “paraconformity”. In The Genesis Flood, I heard that paraconformity was a word used by evolutionary geologists for fossil systems out of order, but with no evidence of erosion or over-thrusting. [Plate tectonics] My heart really started pounding when Para- conformities and unconformities came up in geology class. What did the professor say? Essentially the same thing as Morris and Whitcomb. He presented para- conformities as a real mystery and something very difficult to explain in evolutionary or uniformitarian terms. We even had a field trip to study para-conformities which only served to emphasize the point.
So again, instead of challenging my creationist ideas, the geology I was learning in graduate school was supporting it. [Genesis Flood] I even discussed a creationist interpretation of para-conformities with the professor, and I finally found myself discussing further evidence of creation with fellow graduate students and others.
Interviewer: What do you mean by evidence of creation?
Dr. Parker: All of us can recognise objects which man has created, whether paintings, sculptures or just a coke bottle. Because the pattern of relationships in those objects is contrary to relationships that time, chance and natural physical processes can produce, we know an outside creative agent was involved. [Intelligent Design] I began to see the same thing in a study of living things, especially in the area of major interest, molecular biology.
All living things depend upon a working relationship between inheritable DNA/RNA and proteins, the chief structural and functional molecules. Just as phosphorus, glass and copper will work well together in a television set only if properly arranged by human engineers, so DNA and protein will only work in productive harmony if properly ordered by an outside creative agent [intelligent design]. I presented the biochemical details of this DNA argument to a group of graduate students and professors, including my professor of molecular biology. At the end of the talk, my professor offered no criticism of the biology or believe there was anything out there to create life. But if your faith permits belief in a creator you can see the evidence of Roman’s C 1:18-20.biochemistry I had presented she didn’t believe it creation in the things that have been made [as Paul implies in. She just said that
Considering how powerful religious people think praying is there seems to be a lot of religious people in hospitals
Indeed, and this has afforded the opportunity for a number of studies that found that religious people and people who are prayed for, whether religious or not, are significantly more likely to recover, and at a faster rate, than non-religious people with the same health circumstances.
What’s amazing is that the Golden Rule
(Matthew 7: 12 “So whatever you wish that others would do to you, do also to them, for this is the Law and the Prophets) is the only commandment a supposedly all-knowing god would need.

Hitchens is brilliant and eloquent. It's hard to imagine that he lowered himself into the cesspool of religion by even so effectively debunking it. There's an old saying that "Patriotism is the last refuge of a scoundrel"; well, it's more aptly that "religion" is. The absurdity of the bible and all religions is enough to negate everything contained in the holy texts. Religion is the cause of suffering, not relief from it. Thank the universe that there is no god.
everything that Jesus said would happen before his return is happening just as he said , Trust Jesus , he cares for you
Brilliant !!!!
You will notice in the first commandment that God actually acknowledges the existence of other gods.
"I bring you these 15-"
CRASH!
"10! 10 Commandments!"
Weird, there's no thumpers in here defending their rediculous book, I guess the video makes perfect sense.
Hmm...I think that's rather a far jump to an unwarranted conclusion. Could just as easily be the case that all the passing "thumpers" felt that the arguments presented by the atheists are so ridiculously pitiful, they're not worth bothering to reply to.
Just a thought. (wink)
@@BogartSlap What's pitiful is watching fanatics use the "context" defense a few dozen times to try to explain away their god's brutality, incompetence, ethnocentricity, pettiness, insecurity, genocides, misogyny, prorape & proslavery laws, child abuse, land-stealing,...
Yeah, not worth replying to Jack. Seen theists squirm and blow smoke enough. The existence of apologetics proves you believe in a wicked and incompetent deity, and defend horrible policies and behaviors.
@@BogartSlap
You could have left the wink out. Just the fact that the OP speaks of the bible as if it were a book rather than a library, which is the literal meaning of the word "bible', containing several books led me to that conclusion already. It's like having kids of the age of 8 not understanding how to add number claiming that differential equations are an invalid application of mathematics. He simply doesn't even has a clue what he is talking about and didn't even bother to familiarize himself with the basics yet claims to understand the more advanced stuff enough to invalidate it. Obviously the idea of not making claims one can't substantiate doesn't fare that well in the atheists community.
There is nothing to defend for me here, a strawman argument against someones position doesn't require a defence, merely a dismissal. Or as Hitch used to say: "claims made without evidence can be dismissed without evidence", if that's more to your liking. The result is the same: dismissal.
@@GuitarDog_atx
How exactly does the existence of aplogetics prove ones believe in a wicket and incompetent deity? Claims made without evidence can be dismissed without evidence. So I'd either like to see your evidence for this claim or it should just be dismissed.
@@GuitarDog_atx Yet another comment that reflects the thought, "It's not that I'm really an atheist - I'm just hypercritical of how God chooses to run things and, all modesty aside, believe that I would do a much better job of it". :)
Video killed the radio, internet killed religion and supernatural things.
Im an atheist but the commandment "dont use gods name in vain" means when you swear falsely. Example: when you say i swear to god it wasn't me but it was actually you
I'm a Grey Alien, and I have no need for your God - period.
Wow, you're 0-for-2 there - mistaken about both your own identity and God's, too. The upside is, you can only improve your score from this point. :)

is false hope a good thing?
*is false hope a good thing?*
Does it prevent one from taking measures to educate or protect oneself? Then potentially, yes.
The false hope that prayer can cure afflictions has led to the painful, often excruciating deaths of children and adults who could have been saved by the intervention of modern medicine and trained doctors.
Hmm...I'd say it likely depends on the circumstances. For instance, if you're stuck in a "dead for sure" situation in the middle of a war, it might be helpful to have hope of getting out alive, even if that hope is ill-founded.
@@KalibreSteelblast
That would be a false hope going against the first commandment in Christianity. (not to be confused with the first commandment in Judaism)
@@BogartSlap
Even in war, the odds are not exactly 0. Hence it's not false hope no matter how slim the chance as long as the chance is greater than 0.
What kind of Spell that is again?

A truly enlightening talk. Wish more religious people would open their eyes, grown up and start thinking for themselves. They can begin with this talk.

No problem at all mate.
By definition the quote "god hates faggots" violates two commandments. The second "thou shalt not use god's name in vain" - supposedly god made everything, so he also made homosexuals, and why would he hate what he made. Plus, god does not hate, but love each and everyone. And for the same reason, the quote is also a violation of the ninth commandment "though shalt not bear false witness ..."
Thou shalt be generous and kind.
I like the Pastafarian commandments.

When it comes to fictional immortals, I much prefer Connor McCloud over Yahweh.
For me, it's Hercules and all the other Olympians.
Saying God is fictional makes you a logic denier. You are positively asserting a negation, and that is just plain stupid.
@Alpha Omega When you say God is fictional, you are saying He does not exist in reality. That is just you saying God is not real, which is you positively asserting a negation. This is a logical fallacy only used by people who cannot argue logically from reason.
Care to try again?
@Alpha Omega I actually did read what you said. And I replied to it. Simply making the claim that I did not read it does absolutely nothing to further the conversation. A better tactic might be to read my reply to what you wrote, and reply to it.
Your statement that God is fictional, "but there may be some sort of higher power," was one complex assertion, and one of us understood what you were saying. You were saying that, while God is not real, that fact does not exclude the possibility of a "higher power." Logically, the absence of the existence of Thing A does not preclude the existence of Thing B. That is true. But, your full thought was that Thing A is not true, but that does not rule out Thing B being true.
Taken as a whole, it is false, as the necessary first part is a logical fallacy, and therefore not worthy of serious consideration.
The possibility of God not existing does not rule out the possibility of a million other possibilities from being possible, naturally. That is so true, it is not worth saying.
Fact is, however, that God is real, and He loves you, even though you hate Him.
@Alpha Omega Ok. It's the internet. I'll see the notification when you feel like engaging in a conversation.

Naw mate, if you’re going to read that pile of shit lot’s of alcohol and possibly some drugs will help make it better, trust me it’s a fucking difficult read. Plot holes, contradictions, impossibilities all sorts of fanciful shit.
@@MGForums
Odd, nobody here said anything about reading. Perhaps you should cut down on the beer and drug consumption as well.
@@BlacksmithTWD well you need to read to help educate yourself. Don't just take the word of some paedophile preacher.
@@MGForums
There is such a thing as audiobooks these days. Besides assuming every preacher to be a paedophile is quite similar to assuming every man to be a rapist and every woman to be a whore, you seem to have a problem with taking things on faith, but don't seem to have a problem with taking things on ill faith. I really suggest to cut down on the alcohol consumption and instead strive for some more consistency and coherence in your thinking.
AronRa must be too young to remember that it was indeed against the law to run any kind of business for profit on Sunday in a number of states prior to the year 2000. In the early 70s, I lived in Massachusetts, controlled in large measure by the Catholic Church, where it was prohibited to make money on Sunday. (Hospitals could be open, for example, on the old idea that hospitals existed to take care of the injured and ill.) He does mention at one point, speaking of the sabbath, that it was illegal to sell alcohol in Texas on Sunday, so maybe he does understand that it was the law.
Dog owners do not give their dogs "free will". When I say "SIT" I want my dog to sit.
Giving someone free will AND giving them commandments is silly.
One or the other, not both !

@@BogartSlap P.S. The bible is clear, there is NO freewill. You should try reading it sometime if you are going to troll atheists channels

They give them free will enough not to have to give them instructions how to raise each foot in sequence and every instruction for each step , then making them puddle. Do your kids need any guidance by grown ups to become functioning adults? Atheists obviously think they don't, because when adults refuse to be adults, all hell breaks loose.
So, aren't commandments rules for how to rein in "Free will?"
@@GuitarDog_atx so, Stephen hawking agreed with the Bible, that free will does not exist? Did S.H. have the free will to decide to say so, or not? Atheist, are you a meat robot which merely progresses forward 1 femtosecond at a frame, with the illusion you are making choices?

COMMANDMENT 1: thou shall not talk about commandments.
COMMANDMENT 2: THOU SHALL NOT talk about commandments.
Unpack the first 2 with an open mind, and there is tremendous wisdom.
The Ultimate, the Best, the Highest deserves respect. Eliminate the crass, degrading use of obscenity, and show the world and your kids that your "self" shouldn't run the show without mindfulness and thoughtfulness.
Dont make anything your God but the highest - do not live for football, sex, drugs, rock and roll,worshiping accumulating wealth, gratifying selfish desires, living to ridicule and destroy believers out of your arrogant pride.
The atheist stuffs the Infinite into a box called science. Those who have met Love Itself , (not blow them up) know His reality, and humbly live as if God exists ( not those who misuse pruning shears to damage others in His name) show Love far greater than the self can produce.
Hate God's rule and hate rightful authority. See how that goes if you teach your kids they are the highest authority, and disrespecting what is holy, desecrating a church, is ok. How will that work out for them and for you?.
