I was brushing up on my 10 commandments, and I noticed the first 5 are suspiciously similar to demands made from a spoilt petulant child.?

    Did you have a question about the Ten Commandments?

    Really?

    You find

    - "Honor your father and mother" (#5 in Catholicism)

    or

    - "You shall not murder" (#5 in Protestantism)

    to be "suspiciously similar to demands made from a spoilt petulant child"?

    I don't believe you.

    The ten commandments are all stolen from much earlier religions and relate to other gods and an idol!

    I think it goes the first 6 just say "Love God". The last 4 say "Love others".

    How childish do you consider Love?

    So a "spoilt petulant child" would command honouring their parents (number 4). Or keeping the Sabbath, not murdering, not taking God's name in vain, not worshipping illegitimate deities.

    That's a pretty sophisticated child. Or maybe you thought you were being clever in denigrating a belief you don't adhere to - without actually knowing what you are talking about.

  • "similar to demands made from a spoilt petulant child..." I guess, of all people, you would know best. Now, did you have a question?
