Oh. I did take a peek at the links for the Mayflower Compact, and the Declaration of Independence, and noted the acknowledgement of religious based stuff in those. I simply felt there was no need to discuss those since your point on those two were clear (remember, if it goes without saying, there is no need to say it).
The bit about the preamble was the only one that needed addressed, considering there was nothing religiously bent in that section of the Consitution. That was all, nothing more.
This is another one a lot of people get wrong; the Commandment is actually, "Thou shalt not have any Gods before me." So basically, it's OK to be polytheistic, so long as you consider the Abrahamic God as the top tier; your Zeus or Odin, as it were.
Ignorance is the problem, not faith in and of itself. And that's a two-way street.
This one can be a bit confusing. Was not Yahweh part of a more extensive pantheon, with El as top banana? If so, would not El have been rather rightfully pissed that Yahweh was usurping its place in the hierarchy? Or is it possible, in Jewish mythology, that El gave Yahweh permission to form his own little cult of followers as some sort of cultural experiment?
Thou shalt not take the name of the LORD thy God in vain; for the LORD will not hold him guiltless that taketh his name in vain.
People seem to take that as "Don't say goddammit" but vanity has to do with looking good. Ignoring the actual Hebrew wording, I think it means "don't pretend to follow me (take my name) just to look good in front of your neighbors or church."
It could also mean "Don't engage in bullshit and claim it is my will."
Prime example" "God told me that he would kill me if I didn't raise one million dollars by the First of April." (That was either Oral Roberts or Anal Roberts back in the late 80s or early 90s, if I recall correctly.)
Wow, so the Bible actually does prohibit homosexuality. I had no idea that it really did. I just thought the typical CONservative liars were just making-up crap again like they always do. They lie constantly and hate people that tell the truth. That's why they hate science and things like NASA.
My neighbor's wife is also my neighbor, and she has a pretty, shapely, and covetable ass at that.
It can have a forcing effect on things other than direct belief when it becomes part of the civil or governing code
You are many centuries too late. The 10 commandments and other religious moral codes are already seen as a basis for a lot of common law. Trying to tell yourself otherwise is ignorance. (Now that you've read this it's willful ignorance or self deception.. )
What are they teaching in public schools these days.. Shesh..
And if you don't mind, the preamble to the constitution of the united states.
We the People of the United States, in Order to form a more perfect Union, establish Justice, insure domestic Tranquility, provide for the common defence, promote the general Welfare, and secure the Blessings of Liberty to ourselves and our Posterity, do ordain and establish this Constitution for the United States of America.
Not seeing anything religiously oriented in the Preamble there...
Flight to some destination in either Canada or Mexico, and then getting a rental car, or taking a bus across the border to the U.S. perhaps? Surely the no fly list doesn't prohibit flying to anywhere in the world that is not under the U.S.A's jurisdiction?
Back when I used to be able to stream Netflix (I since changed my account to the 3 DVDs at a time plan instead), I gave Silverlight a try. After Silverlight was installed, my video capture device with WinDVR suddenly stopped working. Suspecting Silverlight was the culprit, I set up the video capture device on a test box, and verified that it worked. Then I installed Silverlight there, and sure enough, no more video capture capability. Removed Silverlight and eradicated all traces of it from the system, and my hardware was once again working properly.
That was when I invoked the hardware owner's right. The ability for any publisher's software to run on hardware that I own is a privilege, not a right. If your product interferes with the rightful and proper operation of my property, then its privilege to exist on my system is revoked permanently.
Do not fuck with my hardware or any other software that I have installed, or you will not be permitted to run on any systems under my control, and word of your dipshittery will be passed on to others, so that they can be made aware that your software is malware.
Okay, plenty of piss oriented jokes here already. Now someone needs to come up with one that is shit powered, so we can revive the stupid kid joke about Artoo-Doodoo.
Don't worry, after the oil runs out in a few decades they'll be back to humping camels in tents.
When the oil runs out, the smart ones will follow the example of the Roman Catholic church, set up an Islamic version of Vatican City, and then the oil income they are no longer pulling in can be replaced by offerings from their Muslim followers throughout the Western world. They could pull in hundreds of billions per year that way.
"I can pay $1,000 for a tank of oil... or $200 for a cord of wood"
Did you know that in some areas, wood even grows on trees, so its free. (well you have to saw it up, and split it, snd store it so it dries...)
But how long does it take to go out yourself saw up that cord of wood, then bring it home? (at which point, there is often a teenager in the house that gets coerced into splitting and storing it). Would you rather spend that time getting the wood, or paying someone else to bring it to you?
What problem would he be having using a third party client with GMail? All of my GMail accounts are accessed through Thunderbird. And it was painlessly easy to set up. Sure beats having to log out and back in each time I want to check an account's mail.

The Jews with true Jew-fu have 613 commandments, though they do overlap with the reduced-commandment-set religions that were derived from them.
I thought it was Jew-Jitsu

It's Jew-Do.
Or for Krusty the Clown, it's Jew-Doh!
Ironically, the CAPTCHA is "demonaic".
Is jewdough another name for unleavened bread?
Just remember, Christians are so poor, they can only afford one god.
The Romans have a god for everything, except premature ejaculation. But we hear that one is coming soon.
