Thou Shalt Know Thy Commandments

The Congressman, Lynn Westmoreland, who sponsored a bill requiring display of the Ten Commandments in Congress, could only name, on the Colbert Report, three of them.

A good article about how GWB replaced laziness and ignorance with Jesus.

Sorry Jay Saul, but I didn't hear the name of Jesus once in that post or video...
Could you cite that for me, please?

Whether by belief or by unbelief, would it not behoove us all to see that Jesus is not synonymous with The Ten Commandments?
I mean in the interest of pursuing the study of life "without gods" it seems that it would be best to keep oranges and apples separate.

Ever have a caramel orange???

The link is stupidity as it relates to religion and politics. Sweet Jesus, open up that box of chocolates, you just may find a caramel orange.
If you are expecting rationality in my postings you are bound to be disappointed.

Jay,

If Jesus really has a box of chocolates, I am much more likely to stay a believer in him!
So show me the chocolate and I will climb back up this slippery slope I have been sliding down!

And cos I am not running on so much faith these days, I want evidence! WHERE IS THAT CHOCOLATE????
