  • Why do Christians care so much about the Ten Commandments?

    Aren't they part of the covenant that the Israelites are said to have made with God? Why do Christians think it's important for them to follow it?

    You should read up on the historical continuity between Judaism and early Christianity.
    A lot of Republicans are not racist, but a lot of racists are Republican.

        I'm not the one who thinks non-jews are obligated to do something because of an agreement made between jews and a supernatural being.

                I just hope gribbler doesn't think he's being smart or witty or anything.

                  Why do you care?

                  ACK!
                  Don't try to confuse the issue with half-truths and gorilla dust!

                    Well, sometimes Christians decide a government building needs a copy of them.

                      Gribbler, why are you so stupid? You don't agree with their religion. Just leave it at that, please, and stop posting these boring troll threads.

                      And look, so the government building has a copy of the ten commandments. That doesn't mean we are about to start hanging the gays. It doesn't even mean that the court (if the building is a court) uses them in their jurisprudence. Yes, there's the establishment clause, but there is also this concept of no one gives a **** but pedants and complainers.

                        Yeah those commandments are just symbolic representations of justice.

                        You see this symbol a lot, as well, in a legal context:



                        Does that mean we are worshiping the Greek gods because that's the Greek goddess Dike? Are we relying on ancient Greek laws in our courts?

                        Honestly, most people don't even know the commandments. You ask an average person what's the first commandment and they'll wrongly say "Thou shall not murder"

                          The Jews and Christians believe in the same God.

                            Except the Christians are polytheists.

                              I'm pretty sure the jews don't worship a trinity.
