I think the ten commandants drive them crazy - as to follow them means the end to socialism...

ONE: 'You shall have no other gods before Me.' (There goes - I am my own God mentality)

TWO: 'You shall not make for yourself a carved image--any likeness of anything that is in heaven above, or that is in the earth beneath, or that is in the water under the earth.' (like the nanny state)

THREE: 'You shall not take the name of the LORD your God in vain.'

FOUR: 'Remember the Sabbath day, to keep it holy.'

FIVE: 'Honor your father and your mother.' (not daddy and his boyfriend)

SIX: 'You shall not murder.' (including abortion)

SEVEN: 'You shall not commit adultery.' (hello Clinton)

EIGHT: 'You shall not steal.' (that even means voting for the government to steal from your neighbor to support socialism)

NINE: 'You shall not bear false witness against your neighbor.' (the ends justify the means to any liberal - and it doesn't matter what scientific or historical fact they have to revise to do it)

TEN: 'You shall not covet your neighbour's house; you shall not covet your neighbour's wife, nor his male servant, nor his female servant, nor his ox, nor his donkey, nor anything that is your neighbour's.' (THE KEY, socialism is coveting what others have...do it for the children)

Actually, I think it actually all boils down to one reason the Libs hate the bible. Sometimes the answer is NO.

I loved it! I am not a religious person in any sense of the word. But the bible is a very good guide for living, especially the ten commandments. If it was good enough to influence the founding fathers it is good enough today. The only thing that makes me roll my eyes is when someone insists to me that the bible is the literal word of God. NAW....but it is a very good read.

How about just quoting Leviticus 18?
Leviticus 18
Unlawful Sexual Relations
1 The LORD said to Moses, 2 "Speak to the Israelites and say to them: 'I am the LORD your God. 3 You must not do as they do in Egypt, where you used to live, and you must not do as they do in the land of Canaan, where I am bringing you. Do not follow their practices. 4 You must obey my laws and be careful to follow my decrees. I am the LORD your God. 5 Keep my decrees and laws, for the man who obeys them will live by them. I am the LORD.

6 " 'No one is to approach any close relative to have sexual relations. I am the LORD.

7 " 'Do not dishonor your father by having sexual relations with your mother. She is your mother; do not have relations with her.

8 " 'Do not have sexual relations with your father's wife; that would dishonor your father.

9 " 'Do not have sexual relations with your sister, either your father's daughter or your mother's daughter, whether she was born in the same home or elsewhere.

10 " 'Do not have sexual relations with your son's daughter or your daughter's daughter; that would dishonor you.

11 " 'Do not have sexual relations with the daughter of your father's wife, born to your father; she is your sister.

12 " 'Do not have sexual relations with your father's sister; she is your father's close relative.

13 " 'Do not have sexual relations with your mother's sister, because she is your mother's close relative.

14 " 'Do not dishonor your father's brother by approaching his wife to have sexual relations; she is your aunt.

15 " 'Do not have sexual relations with your daughter-in-law. She is your son's wife; do not have relations with her.

16 " 'Do not have sexual relations with your brother's wife; that would dishonor your brother.

17 " 'Do not have sexual relations with both a woman and her daughter. Do not have sexual relations with either her son's daughter or her daughter's daughter; they are her close relatives. That is wickedness.

18 " 'Do not take your wife's sister as a rival wife and have sexual relations with her while your wife is living.

19 " 'Do not approach a woman to have sexual relations during the uncleanness of her monthly period.

20 " 'Do not have sexual relations with your neighbor's wife and defile yourself with her.

21 " 'Do not give any of your children to be sacrificed [a] to Molech, for you must not profane the name of your God. I am the LORD.

22 " 'Do not lie with a man as one lies with a woman; that is detestable.

23 " 'Do not have sexual relations with an animal and defile yourself with it. A woman must not present herself to an animal to have sexual relations with it; that is a perversion.

24 " 'Do not defile yourselves in any of these ways, because this is how the nations that I am going to drive out before you became defiled. 25 Even the land was defiled; so I punished it for its sin, and the land vomited out its inhabitants. 26 But you must keep my decrees and my laws. The native-born and the aliens living among you must not do any of these detestable things, 27 for all these things were done by the people who lived in the land before you, and the land became defiled. 28 And if you defile the land, it will vomit you out as it vomited out the nations that were before you.

29 " 'Everyone who does any of these detestable things—such persons must be cut off from their people. 30 Keep my requirements and do not follow any of the detestable customs that were practiced before you came and do not defile yourselves with them. I am the LORD your God.' "

The liberal Bible contains this one: "You shall have no other gods before Me." only the "me" in question is Karl Marx.

"You shall not bear false witness against your neighbor." Wouldn't that cover lying under oath?

And what on earth version are you quoting from? Quoting scripture is great but it must be done accurately. 'Uncovering one's nakedness' is not the same as 'sexual relations'.

You should try reading The Bible more often,
You just might learn something new.

The main thing that drives the left crazy about the Bible is that it is the truth and light that shines on the darkness of their lives. It shows them that there are consequences for their attitudes and behavior which they just can't bring themselves to believe. It is just denial on their part.

When quoting me thanks for neatly leaving out the last words...."But it's a good read." Picking and choosing are we? Look, people can believe whatever they wish. My point is that writings translated from whatever original language will change. Was the King James translation done by divine guidence or becuase he was footing the bill for it? The bible can be used for good or ill...Just look at the Rev Phelps and his crowd.

Sorry, that "need to read it more" kind of statement is something I will get time after time from hardcore fundamentalists. And it is a good read, but in the end I do not think it is the literal word of God. STILL.....a good guide in most respects.

Are you certain of that? In 1Cor.5:1-5 Paul writes to the
church at Corinth and speaks of fornicaiton reported there. And my Bible does cite 1 Cor5:1-5 ,as are Gen.35:22
2Samuel 16:2--23;and 1 Kings 2:17-the comentaries I have
read suggest it is a valid interpretation of the phrase
to consider the suggesiton of sexual relations.So it seems not the stretch say a Peter Gomes the queer professor at Harvard Diviinity School might place on it.
