I’ll bet there were only like 3 commandments until Moses’ wife got involved.

Like that was, when Moses joined like, the Republicans, & like wanted to like control, like of everyone's personal behavior. After it was like, condensed to like 10, another should like be added, to refrain from like filling pauses, with such words as "like, you know" & other repetitive discourse annoying language trends. Thou shalt not covet thy neighbors wife without consent of all parties. Thou shalt not kill unless protecting oneself & others. Tho shalt not steal unless its land belonging to another peoples. Blah blah blah.

Haaaaahahaha! Thanks for the tip. I claim literary license to use the vernacular of my local people ( or "peeps" ) when expressing myself in written dialogue.
Thou shalt not leave dirty dishes in the sink.
Thou shalt not leave the cap off the toothpaste
Thou shalt not ignore your partner when she is talking to you.
Thou shalt not forget to notice your partner's new hair style.
Thou shalt not forget that a good sense of humor helps in many situations

Well, of course I hope you take into consideration that it's a joke about characters and events that I feel are completely fictitious. Being bothered by the sexism in this would be like being bothered by Disney's "Pocahontas" for not being historically accurate even though it's a cartoon... with a talking raccoon in it.
Having said that, I do apologize to anyone who takes offense to this.
Once you get to know me though, you'll see that I'm really good at offending people.
Duke:
@Donotbelieve Ah, shit. I know I'm in trouble when you call me "Dookie" instead of "Dukie". I'm just gonna go ahead and put myself in a timeout now...
@Duke I actually thought it was funny. But that may be because I don't take myself all that seriously and I like fun. Uptight philosophy is exhausting
Must have found some good weed in the desert. Lit a bush on fire and it talked to him......rrrriiigght.

hides the fact that Moses did not fall to the ground prostrate, but "went over to investigate."
you were never supposed to believe a burning bush was real, see
I always felt the god of the OT overlooked some really good ideas to base commandments on. For example, instead of that ridiculous adultery one (because there are far worse things to worry about than adultery), I have a better one in mind- thou shalt not act like thine horse's ass. The christian fundies could have really benefitted from that one, as most of them are, well, a horse's ass. Good post.

The adultery thing was of vital importance in the ancient world, because it could influence the line of succession, the very reason that, even well beyond the medieval period, the queen's giving birth was an event attended by enough of the court to ensure that the new royal baby had not been switched or any similar shenanigans pulled.
