US Constitution should include Ten Commandments!

Hammurab
24-09-2008, 21:26
Since, as is widely known and utterly uncontested, all morality is based on religious revelation, specifically and soley Judeo-Christian, I have determined that the US Constitution not only should include the Ten Commandments, but must do so or be rendered invalid.

Think about it, prayerfully, if you really want to understand.

First, "I am the Lord Thy God, thou shall have no other gods before me." blends harmoniously with the 1st Amendment. After all, the 1st Amendment relieves Congress of the burden of establishing our national religion (since many of our elected officials are of the wrong christian demonination, they may establish the wrong kind of Church of Christ), but the 1st Commandment circumvents this nicely. And Holyly.

Second, "thou shall have no other gods before me". This is fine, since as many nationstates generalites have explained to me, if you are worshipping anything, you are worshipping their version of God since its the only really God. Thus, even if you persist in worshipping an incorrect God, your adulation is appropriately rerouted, like a really well designed porn server.

Thirdly and morely, Idols may not be worshipped, no taking the Lord's name in vain, and keep the sabbath holy.. Again, this is completely consistent with the Constitution; the Constitution says free excercise of religion which is Jesus, not a bunch of golden cows shouting Jesus H. Christ whilst driving to work on Sunday in a foreign car listening to They Might Be Giants instead of Dr. Laura.

The U.S. has enshrined the Constitution as a protection for the freedoms of all. All freedom comes from the Judeo Christian God. As do all tacos.

Until the Ten Commandments are added as Amendments, displacing the Bill of Rights (we can put those in the back or something, after the thing about when pay raises kick in ), America is not free.

Right, like when I sent you my newsletter on white supremacy and you billed me $450/hour to read it.

I shouldn't have included the word jumble...

Christ.

Christ who?

Christ, if religion can indoctrinate organize people, then motivate them to act as though their doctrine will save them from eternal pain and grant them unending paradise, how can simple legal discourse refute?

So much of US Common Law has its roots in English Common Law, I felt being on nationstates again would allow me some exposure to those fine Britannian Rules.

Too bad there are no authentic English about...

Not bad, although I need to live in the library this weekend. We formed into little "firms", our Professors gesture to help us into study groups.

My firm includes a young Muslim woman and an ex-cocktail waitress, both of whom are substantially smarter and profoundly prettier than I am. I'm getting nothing done.

I can see how that would be a problem. Especially right around happy hour.

Non-sense. You lot might as well have kept Cromwell, since he knew how a government should be run, by God. (Note that "by God" works on two levels there.)

I think our president has been a good influence on your own executive leadership. I heard one of your previous chaps the other night on the Daily Show explaining that he would stick by Bush, as the British are not "fair weather friends".

Besides, if you jettison God's Moral Law as a means of adjudication, what remains? Well deliberated and soundly crafted secular legislation? Good luck with that, Tommy.

Evidently, she was quite adept, she paid for her entire undergraduate degree with tips from the club.

I believe it; she's clever and gorgeous. In Vegas, happy hour is November through April, as well as the 1st and the 15th of other months, and 7:00am until 4:00 pm on other days, and the 15 minute marks of the other hours.

I'm going to wait until after finals. Her research is thorough, penetrating, and she has a lovely braiding of talent and training in English. She claims my own statement of problems and positing of questions collaborates fruitfully with the group.

I'll wait until after finals and then explain Jesus to her (not the lame ass Muslim version of Jesus she was given, those people don't even spell it right).

just make sure you get the taser first, she might try to run away. Remember, every soul saved is a soul that doesn't suffer eternal torment for being a filthy filthy a-rab.

She's one of those religious people that actually abides by their beliefs, while not pushing it on anybody.

Last night, after the sun went down, we broke out some dates (the fruit, not the Vegas euphemism for sex) and some Laffy Taffy and we jiggled with some contract law.

Apparently, its Ramadan (sic?) or something.

I truly believe you should be an appellate level judge in some sizable juristiction.

Worst part is, as gelatinous as I am and as fit as she is, even with her dress thing she wears, she'd still mop the floor with me.

I'm going to start calling her Khawla bin al Azwar.

No, we're still dancing with early UCC shyte. But the prof keeps dangling statch of frauds, since it answers many many of our current questions.

Shit, its 2:00pm, I gotta role.

Nice link, but for the life of me, I can't figure out how the gentiles came to believe they were obligated to observe the mitzvot of the people of Israel. And why do they think there are 10, when it's obvious there are 613?

But does your post show good judgment,Hammurabi? Sumer or later your gonna have to say, "Ur, I made a mess o potamia!"

God: "Moses! Moses! Are you there?"
Moses: "Of course I'm here Jahweh, you're omniscient aren't you?"
God: "Moses, I have something for you!"
Moses: "Hmmm! Okay what do you have for me?"
God: "Commandments!"
Moses: "Hmmmmm! How much do they cost?"
God: "They're free!"
Moses: "I'll take ten!!!!"
