what "jack booted thugs"...(?)

The "fact" that you even talk this way is proof-positive that the violence that RELIGIOUS IMMATURITY brings to a society is something that needs be guarded against.

IT CERTAINLY LOOKS LIKE A "GRAVEN IMAGE" TO ME...

.....but, the word "god"......(a word whose "meaning" has NEVER been addressed),

.....i mean, "when someone says 'I believe IN GOD'.....what DO they MEAN?"

I bet most people who say they "believe" .... simply assume that others who would say "that" have the same "notion" of GOD....something that is highly unlikely.

So, please don't be "religious" for ME!......or think there is some GREAT SIGNIFIGANCE to this "graven image" to ME!"

What we call the "bible" is a "translation" (by someone) OF the "bible"

"GOD" is word translated from it.........What DID THEY, who wrote it, intend that "GOD" mean?.....PROVE IT

Jack booted thugs. You must be new to Free Republic if you don't know what jack booted thugs are. LOL

Graven images are descriptive of "golden calves" and stuff like that, not a granite "tablet". Back before Moses, people were worshipping golden objects/deities and they were also partying and sinning up a storm. A replica of Moses' tablet is not a graven image. See ya.
