Kind of odd how so many who profess to believe in god act in such ungodly manner. So much blood shed over which god is the true god. Why should god not reveal him/herself to many people in many forms and go by many names?.........stan

I tell a short story sometimes to explain what happened all those years ago in the dark days of Moses.
He was an intelligent man and looked around his village where ever he was and also at the same time looked at what was happening to other villages.
Mostly the other villages as his own were in fighting due to many things such as stealing rape and lots of stupid things that needed addressing so he told them that he was going up into the mountains to think about it, this is where he met Cata Strophe my old stone mason, they talked for hours and had a good Idea.
We shall make basic rules and Cata carved them on stone tablets for eternity.
This is where the ten basic rules for living came from and old Moses saw that his tribe grew great as they had rules to live by.
Gradually these rules were adopted by other tribes, 13 in all, and then they got out of hand and invented a creature called God to explain the talk between Cata and Moses.
I had forgotten that Cata was the original stone mason for Moses before he went to Egypt to carve obelisks.
You have a lovely Sunday out there at least it gives us Heathens a day off each week, did you know that we told the Jews to make their holy day Saturday so we could have two days off.
My old ancestors are laughing at us, as they only had four or five days off a year.
Love you all, Yours Ian.T

The Ten Commandments

I am the Lord thy God Thou shalt have no other gods

No graven images or likenesses

Not take the Lord's name in vain

Remember the sabbath day

Honour thy father and thy mother

Thou shalt not kill

Thou shalt not commit adultery

Thou shalt not steal

Thou shalt not bear false witness

Thou shalt not covet

The Ten Commandments, also known as the Decalogue (Greek: δεκάλογος), are a set of biblical principles relating to ethics and worship, which play a fundamental role in Judaism and most forms of Christianity. They include instructions to worship only God and to keep Sabbath, and prohibitions against idolatry, blasphemy, murder, theft, and adultery. Different groups follow slightly different traditions for interpreting and numbering them.
The Ten Commandments appear twice in the Hebrew Bible, in the books of Exodus and Deuteronomy. According to the story in Exodus, God inscribed them on two stone tablets, which he gave to Moses on Mount Sinai. Modern scholarship has found likely influences in Hittite and Mesopotamian laws and treaties, but is divided over exactly when the Ten Commandments were written and who wrote them.
