   Psquale has a thing about clowns in general, regardless of the makeup or clown suit.

   When my daughter, who at 11 months already was quite verbal, was taken by her cousin “to see Santa”, she grabbed his white wig and snatched it and the attached beard/mustache off. Then she pointed and proudly proclaimed “FAKE! See?”

   “[T}his is a whiny complaint by atheists seeking to damage faith.

   There is no need to ‘seek to damage faith’. The Christian version of ‘faith’ is so damaged by Human actions that it is unsustainable.

   You lied about numbering. “… first and greatest Commandment, and the second is like unto it …”. There are other examples of ‘numbering’.

   The ‘differences’ of which others speak are real. They have to do with the sequencing, combining of various elements, and the division of various others. This indicates to the sensible that the accounting of the Biblical “Ten Commandments” is the result of various Human interpretations of common-sense duties to religious and secular leadership and to society at large – and nothing more. Most of the common-sense meaningful Commandments (those aside from the ones that describe duty to a Supreme Being and/or secular government) were/are drawn from law and/or religions that existed for millennia before the Judaeo-Christianity religion even was imagined.

   BTW, please quote where I claimed to be an atheist. I am not one.

   You are wrong. Again. In multiple aspects. As usual.

   “Your ‘point’ is classic Marxist class warfare ideology, which of course should be rejected out of hand out as per the witness of history.”

   You post that as if you actually know from your own experience what is correct in Heaven, (if such a place actually exists).

   Once again, the US public condones the use of force to ‘resolve’ some perceived issue. Will we not ever learn the lessons of history?

   This sounds much too much like encouragement for those who consider assassination to be ‘justifiable’.

   Actually, not. Islam follows many of the same beliefs as Christianity, but is similar to Mormonism in that they believe there has been a second revelation (in their case, through Muhammad, not Joseph Smith). Also of interest is that until the Christians instigated the Crusades, Muslims were very tolerant of all other religions, including Judaism.

   Atrocities committed by the Christians during the Crusades caused that tolerance to disappear, with the resulting intolerant views of present-day Muslim extremists. Of course, the creation of the State of Israel in the late 1940s only added to that hatred. Palestinians (predictably) continue to be upset that part of their domain was (without warning or compensation) given to the Jews of the world, and that they were (initially, and continuing) forcibly removed from their land and homes.

   NOTE: I do NOT condone the use of force either to remove the Jews or to enforce the existence or removal of the State of Israel. Extremists on BOTH sides of this issue need to be repudiated.

   Violated?

   I prefer to live based upon what I can experience and prove. BTW, I don’t deny that ‘faith’ has some value for some people. For instance, I have faith that air actually exists. When I exhale the air I breathe out can move things like tissue paper. When you can ‘prove’ the reality of ‘faith’, come and talk to me. Until then don’t bother.

    See Timothy’s comment right below yours.

    The various sects of Judeo-Christian religious practice have been fighting over these ‘minor’ inconsistencies since about 30 AD. So those who see the inconsistencies as a reality are not wrong. Point proven.

    You are wrong. Again. As usual.
