Put the toilet seat down and leave the room to fart or no honey for you tonight.

The first two lines and the second two lines each count as one.

For some religions.

So then, if you don't combine that way, how do you get to just ten?

There is a handy chart here:

I did a sermon series on this topic several years ago. If you can truly love others -even those people who are very different from you- you fulfill all the commandments.

+1. Loving your neighbor is relatively easy because he or she probably looks a lot like you in terms of religion, SES, etc.... Loving your enemy is much harder, but it's so necessary in our pluralistic world.

Have any of you watched the Jane Austen adaptation Love & Friendship?

Anyways, saw this thread the other day, watched it, and there's a couple of funny parts about how many commandments and what order they come in.

I like "don't do to others what you don't want them to do to you"

- Hillel.

Huh? Give your cloak to the person without the cloak. Swords into plowshares (Isaiah).

Always remember that those who beat their swords into ploughshares will plow for those who didn't.

At least they're not dying at war at the whim of some ancient dictator.

Many thousands of DC suburbanites give their best efforts slaving away to support our War Machine. It pays some pretty fancy salaries directly or indirectly and lots of local mortgages. Possibly including yours. So which "ancient dictator" are you speaking of?

Thou shalt not kill becomes adulterated to "...unless there's big bucks in it."

How many times a day do I hear "mom! mom? MOOOOMMMM!!"" for no real reason.
I'm just imagining God up there hearing people saying "Oh my God" all the time and wanting to yell a good "WHAT? What do you want! Stop calling me if you don't actually mean it!"

Literally laughed out loud on this one. This is my first time in the religion forum (followed a post from website feed back) and randomly clicked on this link. This image has crossed my mind more than once. Super Glad I'm not the only one!
