Some things *DO* change.  The current occupant of the White House has gotten them down to just one:  Thou Shalt Not Get Caught.  I *GUESS* that's progress.

But that "thou shalt not kill" one was kinda important, as was the "false witness" and "shalt not steal."   The "Covet thy neighbor's wife's ass" we could live without, but "Covet thy neighbor's oil" has gotten us into trouble hundreds of times.

Of course, Clinton was *SMART* to lop off the first two.  We did the same with the Bill of Rights and did OK, until they started pruning again in 2001.

Clinton got a whole 80%?   I only managed 70%.

" I don't think President Bush is too familiar with the Catholic religion. There was one awkward moment when President Bush kept looking behind the pope going, 'So, where's Mrs. Pope?'"

"President Bush also told the pope that he has prayed every single day since he became president. Hey, since Bush became president, we've all prayed every single day."

"Pope Benedict is in America! Wooo! He hath done it! Here he is being greeted by President Bush, the leaders of the two most powerful theocracies in the world. I personally have trouble telling them apart. They're both infallible. They both did some things when they were younger that they wish people would forget. One was a cheerleader, the other Nazi youth. It's a fine line." --

Geeeeez, what a tool this guy is.....

Clinton and the Pope would certainly disagree about the commandmants of not committing adultary and bearing false witness. I don't see how George and the Pope could not be best buds. Both are, afterall, taking their orders directly for God.

Yeah, I wonder if Bush tells God who the deciderer is.

Pres Bush:   Here's a funny story Dick Cheney shared with me the other day...

Pope:  Sigh!

Pres Bush:  It seems that a  texan, a homosexshul and  .......

Pope (praying):  Oh please......not a Pope

Pres Bush:  a Pope was on a plane....

Pope:  Sigh!

Clinton and the Pope would certainly disagree about the commandmants of not committing adultary and bearing false witness.

Benefit of the doubt here, maybe he misread it as "thou shalt not *AD*mit adultery."  But Clinton didn't "bear false witness against his neighbor." 

Depends, RF....I was thinking "I did not have sex with that woman." Depends on one's definition of sex. I guess. Maybe I did overstep my bounds and should defer the question to fundies. They can't reconcile Darwin with divine creation--that is a real brain teaser--but they know what God wants us to do with our sex organs; no debate there.

Cover them with fig leaves?

It's not just that.  Had he said "I know for a fact that she had sex with that other guy, not me," that would have been bearing false witness *AGAINST HER*.   Accusing her of misdeeds she wasn't guilty of.  

Lying to protect her reputation (and, of course, his) I would class as a mitzvah.

.

And, of course, maybe Clinton had a copy of  the "wicked Bible," the one where the commandment reads "Thou Shalt Commit Adultery."  Since the word of god is divinely inspired (hah!) that would make it a sin for him not to have dallied.

You guys are too funny!    : )

Wow.  I hadn't known about the Deuteronomy mistake in the Wicked Bible.   Now *THAT'S* divinely inspired:

The less known mistake also appearing in the Wicked Bible is the lord hath shewed us his glory and his great arse instead of the lord hath showed us his glory and his greatness. (Deuteronomy, 5:24).

(There's another verse where Moses, I think, was only allowed to look at the divine backside, not the full frontal view...)

I almost never "couet thy nighbours houſe"

" Aye but Rob,the truth to most men is but a lie undiscovered" .....but he was a great President.

 Clinton got a whole 80%?   I only managed 70%.

I'm not saying that this automatically applies in your case, but most women who become "a women scorned" drop very quickly from 80% to 70%.  "I'm sure that, at least in her mind, for a moment, the commandment, "Thou shallt not kill," was replaced in her mind with the command, "KILL BILL!"  Hillary Clinton may have been in that 70% zone after she found out Bill had been lying about the extent to which he and Monica were involved. 

BLT, the commandment does not say "thou shalt not think about murder."  Perhaps Hillary Clinton is just a better Christian than you are.

That's actually one of the things which worried me about her candidacy--more so than Obama's churchgoing or McBush's brainwashing sessions.

Wayfarer, that's not considered ignoring him. LOL

Buffoo:  I proudly admit to deleting post of those who are posting comments only to attack people

See, 'foo, the whole thing is that someone as divorced from reality as you've shown yourself to be isn't really qualified to make that call.

you guys make me laugh too funny

Nancy:   TSM...Not that it amounts to a hill of beans but I just realized that I don't ever seeing a post of yours, on any topic, show a sense of humor.   You're a smart cookie......what a waste.

Buffoo does spark lots of humor, it's true.  But I remember when folks didn't think *I* had a sense of humor, either...

RF, you have a wicked sense of humor.  You may not show it as often as you should but you've been known to crack me up.  I appreciate a sharp, clever sense of humor.

My comment to TSM ,had nothing to do with any poster, it just happened to hit me here.

I love the DFZ even if the Troll does pop in to raise his/her ugly head.

Random Please......

  I wouldn't have said it if I'd thought that it was really going to hurt you.  Aren't you ever going to forget? 

 I laugh at every thing you say now just in case......................................

Audrey, I'm not that thin-skinned, and please note I didn't mention you by name.   Hope I didn't hurt *YOUR* feelings.

So Random, how does the Troll delete and repost her blogs to move it up the line? Good for you to keep doing the same when she does it. Maybe with your concentrated effort ""It"" will finally go somewhere else to blog.

Do you really want me to post the method?  It's bad enough the blithering idiot in question (Buffoo, in case he doesn't recognize his new nickname) does it, don't you think?  I'm also not sharing the secret of how to post even though the troll locks you out.

Random

I don't have feelings, only opinions.  You want one?

You're right RF, don't want to let everyone know how to do it, but I'm glad you figured it out.

BNR

Some theologians think that you don't need to act on a sin for it to be one.   Under that strict interpretation, Just thinking of "killing Bill" would have made Hillary guilty of the sin of murder.

That theory also drags down my own score to the 60% range because I've been coveting my next door neighbor's built in BBQ.

and Randoms taken the lead folks, watch him go! Score 34 to 9. (# of comments posted on same topics as trolls)

Some theologians think that you don't need to act on a sin for it to be one.   Under that strict interpretation, Just thinking of "killing Bill" would have made Hillary guilty of the sin of murder.

But what if you're just thinking of thinking about it?  At what point in Von Neumann's Catastrophe does one realize that the *ONLY* sin is actually harming someone else unnecessarily?
