2, 3, 7, 8, 9 and 10

The ones Shrub breaks daily.

From an email from the younger of my two older sisters.

Cowboy's Ten Commandments posted on the wall at Cross Trails Church in Fairlie, Texas.

(1) Just one God.
(2) Honor yer Ma & Pa.
(3) No telling tales or gossipin'.
(4) Git yourself to Sunday meeting.
(5) Put nothin' before God.
(6) No foolin' around with another fellow's gal.
(7) No killin'.
(8) Watch yer mouth.
(9) Don't take what ain't yers.
(10) Don't be hankerin' for yer buddy's stuff
I wonder which ones this silly human finds most important? (Thanks to Tonya for bringing that depressing bit o' humanity to my attention.)

  1. I would venture to say he also breaks 1 and 5. My guess is that he's about a 50 cent cab ride from thinking he IS God.

    1. Beer is god.
    2. Honour your respective beer distilleries.
    3. No lyin' about how watchin' sport is ok without a beer.

  5. You know, when we had prayer in the schools, black people had equality, women weren't treated like marital property, children weren't forced to work in factories, and there were no wars. Oh, wait....

  7. If I moved to a more sane country, they'd hate me because they'd think I'm an insane American.

    As for that link with the clipping, even though I think that tolerance is increasing for other groups, atheists have the longest way to go and are still the most hated and misunderstood group. Even though statistics are showing higher numbers of people who don't claim a religious affiliation, people who claim to be atheist or agnostic is still around 2%. I always have to be a damned two-percenter no matter what I do in life.

  8. Yep. That's us. Silly Two-Percenters.

  9. I wish I knew it was really just 2%.

  10. Yeah. I doubt that there's an extraordinarily effective - read "reliable" - way to determine the true numbers. My guess is it's a Lot higher when you include folks who don't bother even wondering 'bout the supernatural. They figure "shit happens" and include "God" as one of those things.

    That's less "belief" than apathy, eh. Of that I'm sure there's more than an abundance of practitioners...
