If religion is supposedly so liberating then why so many strict rules?

@BizSuitStacy When's the last time you broke a donkey's neck?

@Diotrephes never physically injured a democrat.

@BizSuitStacy When you said your religion basically had 10 rules, I assumed that you were talking about the Ten Commandments. The rule about breaking a donkey's neck is the 4th Commandment (Exodus 34:19-20).

Exodus 34:19-20(TLB) = "19 “Every firstborn male[a] is mine—cattle, sheep, and goats. 20 The firstborn colt of a donkey may be redeemed by giving a lamb in its place. If you decide not to redeem it, then its neck must be broken. But your sons must all be redeemed. And no one shall appear before me without a gift."

@Diotrephes
did you mean Exodus 20:2-17? The 10 Commandments.


Rule 4 is about not taking the Lord's name in vain.

@BizSuitStacy As I wrote in another post, you can read the damn thing for yourself and you will finally realize that the Ten Commandments are in Exodus 34:11-26. Why is that so hard to do?

@Diotrephes I know the story, but the church teaches those that are in Exodus 20 and Deuteronomy 6 instead. Why are you being such an ass about it?

@BizSuitStacy You are an intelligent person. Why are you so reluctant to read the fucking story yourself and discover the truth? The church teaches the false ones because they sound reasonable instead of the real ones, which are full of hate, animal cruelity, and ethnocentric racism.

As I have pointed out numerous times, simply read the damn story for yourself and then you will understand. If you are happy with the fake ones go with them but you will always remain in ignorance. The choice is yours.

@Diotrephes Dude...I've read it. Already told you I know about it. If the church teachings based on the original tablets are wrong, so be it. I'm not gonna steal, not gonna murder, not gonna covet, etc.
