"Thou shalt not bear false witness against thy neighbor,"

[eShirl]

wrote someone, somewhere, somewhen... in a different language, different medium, different alphabet...

1. Love thy neighbor, as thyself.

[twodogsbarking]

6. I think people hate their neighbors sometimes becuause they hate, well, themselves.

[Girard442]

2. They focus-grouped that and The Golden Calf got better numbers.

[-misanthroptimist]

3. It's been fifty years since I've been to church...

...but I do remember that the Bible/God was really big on honesty. Lying was looked down upon in a rather big way.

Has there been a major re-write or, as I suspect, as a lot of those claiming to be Christian really, really bad at Christianing?

[GreenWave]

4. Satan, get thee in front of me so I can kick your ass!

Times have changed.

[GopherGal]

5. This wording more precisely describes what Shady has been doing.

I was thinking about this yesterday. It's not just "don't lie" This biblical wording of this commandment as I was taught it, is more translatable as "don't slander your neighbor" which is more precisely what Vance and the whole Orange Pustule campaign have been doing. Falsely attributing crimes to a people (their literal neighbors in this case) in hope of stirring up the would-be vigilantes among their deplorable over-armed followers.

7. And the greatest commandment of all is

Don't make commandments.

[yellowcanine]

8. The Christofascists have given up on that commandment long ago.

Remember Jerry Falwell's attempt to raise money for his failing " ministries" with the "Clinton Chronicles"?

[evolves]

12. They've given up

on EVERYTHING Christ said.

[Farmer-Rick]

9. Lying for Jesus

Years ago in an old country Baptist church, I heard a preacher's wife talk about it. It's ok to sin, if you sin for Jesus according to her.

That's why they are good with being horrible to other people. They are doing it for Jesus.

I mean Catholic monks were good with torture. And priests or preachers are good with sexual abuse and child rape. So sinning for Jesus is all good.

10. Republicans break lots of commandments all the time

they're fine with making up BS to justify their hate

[B.See]

11. Like many of our nation's laws

MAGAts believe they were meant for US... Certainly not for them.
