Some things come to resemble religion due to the dedication of their adherents. But there also are many others who pay no attention to either the ‘newer’ forms or the traditional, much revised, edited, ‘readjusted,’ and modernized form. T’is the way of it. Some adhere, some ignore, and some just haven’t a clue.
Wow, I came late to the comments today and was dumfounded that nobody has yet posted George Carlin’s classic routine on the 10 Commandments, but your patience has been rewarded. Here they are (if you extract a couple of spaces):
Ah, I hark back to my days as a recreation baseball coach. I yelled all of those (minus the “Thou shalt”)…When coaching recreation basketball, I only had three things I yelled. On defense, “Get on your man!” On offense, “Pass the ball around,” and “Set up your play!”
