heh Steven Colbert has been on a hot streak lately, he's a master at getting people to make themselves look like fools


Republican Congressman Lynn Westmoreland co-sponsors a bill on the Ted Commandments yet cant name them when asked

makes you wonder as to his real agenda in pushing for the 10 commandments to be displayed in congress and the senate
 
Man, what a laugh :LOL:

Seriously, though, that politician comes off as being mildly retarded :|
 
it about the agenda not the commandments as always :|

You can't expect a great deal from Georgia...
 
Haha. Reminds me of a politician here who said that all foreigners should be able to sing the national anthem. And of course, he didn't know it himself :LOL:
 
Which makes me wonder... can I name them? In any order, to be fair.

1) Have no other God but me.
2) Don't use my name in vain.
3) Respect your parents.
4) Don't kill.
5) Don't covet.
6) ...

Five out of 10. Ick.

I missed stealing, Sabbath, false witness, adultery, and idolatry. I wasn't sure if stealing was in there, but I could've gotten adultery after a little while...
 
The Colbert Report is a satire and parody of right-wing news shows.

Daily Show is about reporting news with comedic effect.
 
Stephen Colbert was originally a TV correspondent on The Daily Show, but he was so popular that the producers decided he should have his own show. The Colbert Report is essentially the same format as The Daily Show, the only real difference being that instead of using straight sarcasm and mockery mixed with real journalism, Colbert portrays himself quite humorously as a right-wing Republican (such as Bill O'Reilly), and spending the entire show ragging heavily on the right-wing government.

The Ted Commandments?
 
heh:

The Ted Commandment:

thou shalt not use Ted's name in vain
Thou shalt honour thy Ted
Thou shalt not bear false witness against Ted
Thou shalt not covet they neighbour's Ted

and so on

You missed "Thou shalt not have hawt mansechs."

Which is evidently more important than anything else God ever said (or did not say), according to modern Christians.

actually, that's not included in the Ten Commandments... so obviously if it wasn't important enough to tell Moses, it's clearly not a critical point. :cheese:

Although not taking the lords name in vain and honoring the sabbath are
Yet tons of christians and non christians alike commit one or both of those all the time
But where are the people speaking out against that? Or making laws to stop those ppl from marrying?
 
Hahaha, I love Stephen Colbert. While this certainly doesn't trump his Dinner Party speech, it ranks high in awesomeness.

That being said;

Well first you have to understand the "Sabbath" for Christians is Sunday, not Saturday. Both my parents (Catholic of course) are always off on those days, and mostly just rest or do activities that they want to do, rather than have to.

As fro cursing, yes, it is in my opinion wrong to say the Lord's name in vain, and I do of course remind people who say it not to do so. However, considering it is language, it would be a much trickier thing to ban, as language is something really... sort of just not possible to outlaw and such, whereas granting Govt. papers is a great deal more easy.
 
Of course, theres probably a lot of people who are free from both of those
It's just the amount of people that are doing them is a very large majority
Especially when you consider what it means to honor the sabbath, thats not just 'dont go to work'

It's just such a huge problem and are even commandments and yet I just don't see anything even remotely organized going on to stop this

It's murder, not kill, the specific Hebrew for that was used.

that link doesn't work any more and i can't find another site with it... help?
 
Steven Colbert is a god among men!!.....lol funniest guy ever.
 
What an retard.

And also, WTF are you doing trying to put the 10 commandments in government buildings? Isnt the US supposed to be a secular republic? What a dick.
 
Many of the 10C would be flatly unconstitutional to require by law. The idea that they are the foundation of US law is a joke that only the most deluded could ever believe.
 
It's such bull when you get told cursing is against the 10 Commandments, last time I checked 'the Lord's' name wasn't f*ck, c*nt or shit.
