Yup.

What I like is in the Bible it says something to the effect that when Judgement Day comes, Jesus is gonna look at a bunch of the so-called righteous and say, "Get away, you never knew me!" ( I think people who know Jesus are people like Ghandi and Mother Teresa, and a lot of people would disagree with me about whether or not they are 'saved'. )

My interpretation of that is that all those folks who think they've got it right are wrong simply for having the attitude that therefore, they are better than the rest of us poor slobs who don't agree with them or belong to the same culture club they come from. When you stand in judgment of others (including others from different religions than you are, as in, 'so and so is not saved because so and so is a Hindu, Muslim, Agnostic, Buddhist, and so on') and when you take pride in being part of the 'right' religious group, you are being the opposite of what Christ taught.

But that's just my opinion. *shrug*

Have to agree with you there. I recon that if you follow the big TEN as best you can then you have to be close.

I think George Carlin said it best:


Thou shalt always be honest and faithful to the provider of thy nookie.

&

Thou shalt try real hard not to kill anyone, unless of course they pray to a different invisible man than you.

Two is all you need; Moses could have carried them down the hill in his fvckin' pocket. I wouldn't mind those folks in Alabama posting them on the courthouse wall, as long as they provided one additional commandment:

Thou shalt keep thy religion to thyself.
