How to remember the ten commandments
National Review ^

Posted on 06/27/2005 2:41:54 PM PDT by Asphalt

-Snip-

"I have always remembered them using the sentence: "One idle damn Sunday, Dad killed cheating thief and lied to cover it."

"One"-don't have any other gods "idle"-don't make an idol
"damn"-don't take the Lord's name in vain
"Sunday"-honor the Sabbath
"Dad"-honor mom and dad
"Killed"-don't kill
"cheating"-don't commit adultery
"theif"-don't steal
"and lied"-don't lie
"cover it"-don't covet

It was meant more for humor than seriousness. Yes, you could, and most kids do at one point or another for sunday school and then forget.

The spelling is bad, but you get it.

"Sunday"-honor the Sabbath

The Sabbath of the Ten Commandments is Saturday.

The Commandments to me are like the Greek alphabet. I know every character, but I couldn't reel them off in order.

It's not "don't kill", it's "don't murder"

As if "remembering" them is enough.

It is not enough, but you cannot follow them if you do not know them, and this other than being funny, can help you remember them, or you can simply momorize them.

If people just remembered the Ten Commandments, then we wouldn't have an excuse to plaster them on the walls of our courthouses, class rooms, and other government buildings.

[S]o long as you know them.

Not unlikely, since they comprise the foundation of my religious beliefs.

Thanks, Asphalt, I like it. Every Good Boy Does Fine bump. (And there used to be St. Dapiacle for remembering the cabinet positions, but there are too many now for a mnemonic device.)
