THE TEN COMMANDMENTS ARE NOT THE TEACHINGS OF GOD
THE TEN COMMANDMENTS ARE NOT THE TEACHINGS OF GOD
15 COMMANDMENTS FOR THE 21st CENTURY
WHY MOSES NEVER MET GOD
WHY THE TEN COMMANDMENTS ARE FRAUDULENT
SEXISM WAS THE FIRST RACISM
GOD HAS NO RIGHT TO BE IN THE BEDROOMS OF THE NATION BETWEEN CONSENTING ADULTS
Moses labored mightily for 40 days and nights on Mt.Sinai with hammer and chisel in hand to scribe the 10 commandments upon 2 stone tablets.
In the entire history of mankind, God has never appeared to any human being: Not Abraham. Not Moses. No one. EXCEPT: The only person who could claim to have met God is Jesus.
(As you read further, Muhammad created his own god called Allah and utilized him to give a cloak of religious legitimacy to his great crimes.)
We must destroy the concept of God as the great avenger, murderer, destroyer of the universe. This concept of God as a criminal pollutes the 21st Century. We must destroy this violent avenger depiction of God or go to extinction as a species.
We Hold This Fundamental Truth To Be Self Evident: If God exists then only a GOD OF MORAL PERFECTION™ is God. If God Killed or Ordered The Killing of Just One Human Being Or Any Other Creature Throughout The Universe Then God Would No Longer Be Moral Perfection And Therefore No Longer God. God would not exist.
God never drowned the Egyptian army, murdered their first born, sent plagues to torment the Egyptians, destroyed Sodom and Gomorrah, ordered Abraham to kill his son and then cancelled the order, slaughtered his flock who worshipped the golden calf (Exodus 32), brought down the walls of Jericho allowing Joshua to put to the sword every men and women, young and old, cattle, sheep and donkeys, guided David’s stone to kill Goliath, sent Noah’s flood, etc.
In Exodus 32 Moses comes down from the mount and sees the worship of the Golden Calf. He orders the ritualist slaughter as punishment: “This is what the Lord, the God of Israel, says: ‘Each man strap a sword to his side. Go back and forth through the camp from one end to the other, each killing his brother and friend and neighbor.’ The Levites did as Moses commanded, and that day about three thousand of the people died.” (Exodus 32:27-28) If God committed any of these acts he would be no God but a mass murderer.
KILLING, VIOLENCE AND WAR ARE THE EPITOME OF EVIL AGAINST GOD
The greatest crime against God is any act of violence: suicide bombings, extermination, and murder, war, terror, torture and brutality against humans in the name of and to the greater glory of God. The second greatest crime is any act of violence against humans including the crimes of rape and slavery. The greatest gift Homo sapiens received from God is his brain that directs the hands to create. The human body is a miracle – a holy vessel from God. To take this supreme creation, and with the brain directing the hands build vests filled with bombs and strap them to the body and then blow up this miracle or take a weapon and kill in the name of and to the greater glory of God is such an abomination against God as to be unprintable.
To take the human brain and utilize it to develop weapons, missiles, bombs, tanks, planes to war against fellow human beings, conquer nations and peoples, to destroy cities, lay waste to the countryside, bring death and destruction. No words can describe such hideous evil. War is hideous evil. There can be no prophet of God committing acts of violence, leading armies into battle, let alone ordering murder, massacres, rape, enslavement, pillaging, child molestation, sex slavery, stoning, maiming, terror, torture, just one word of invoking God justifying or ordering any of the above acts, then he is not a prophet of God but a fraud. If God had such a prophet then God would be an accomplice, equally guilty to all the crimes committed by his prophet. God would be nothing more then just a common criminal.
WHY THE TEN COMMANDMENTS ARE NOT FROM GOD
Sorry Charlton Heston I hope you don’t get mad up there but the Ten Commandments are not from God. Moses never met God – God never carved with his almightily power the Ten Commandments into stone tablets.
How do we know that the Ten Commandments are not from God?
For a teaching to be from God every word of the pertained teaching must be Moral Perfection. If just one word is not Moral Perfection then the entire teaching is not from God.
The Ten Commandments Catholic Version
I. I am the LORD your God: you shall not have strange Gods before me!
II.You shall not take the name of the LORD your God in vain!
III.Remember to keep holy the LORD’S Day!
IV.Honor your father and your mother!
V.You shall not kill!
VI.You shall not commit adultery!
VII.You shall not steal!
VIII. You shall not bear false witness against your neighbor!
IX.You shall not covet your neighbor’s wife!
X. You shall not covet your neighbor’s goods!
The first three teachings of the Ten Commandments, VI and IX are bogus. They are not Moral Perfection and therefore none of the 10 commandments were ever spoken to Moses by God. Moses ascended Mt Sinai with his hammer and chisel and spent 40 days and nights carving by himself the 10 commandments onto 2 stone tablets. Moses then fabricated their creation by claiming God carved them.
THE BOGUS IMPERFECT COMMANDMENTS
I. I am the LORD your God: you shall not have strange Gods before me!
II. You shall not take the name of the LORD your God in vain!
III. Remember to keep holy the LORD’S Day!
VI.You shall not commit adultery!
IX.You shall not covet your neighbor’s wife!
As Moral Perfection, God is not an egotist. God does not seek your adoration nor does He demand it. God is not a rock/movie star. He is not a dictator ordering us to bow down before His greatness. All teachings of God basking in his own glory and ordering mankind to bask in His glory are the teachings of man.
These three commandments were recited by Moses to give him a position of power over his sometimes unruly Israelite flock. My God is the true God. There can be no other god’s before him. I’m His prophet and therefore, you must obey and follow me.
If a tree growing in my back yard represents to me God, and I pay homage to my tree god – build a shrine – write a book praising my tree god – try to convert the entire world non-violently to my new religion of the tree god, I have not sinned. My tree god religion is just as valid as Christianity, Judaism etc. If I want to dress half way naked or fully naked and dance around a golden calf worshipping the calf making a fool of myself I have every right to do so. Notice in the first two commandments the implied threat. “You shall not have strange Gods before me.” “You shall not take the name of the Lord your God in vain” This is not a God of Moral Perfection. These are the words of a man – Moses
We have the full right as free men and women granted by God to denigrate him in every way: draw horrid caricatures, deface any religious article we own, burn, cut up, flush down the toilet any religious book we own, take God’s name in vain in any way. Work, party, do whatever we want on the Lord’s day. Quoting from the Declaration of A God of Moral Perfection (page 224 free book– KILLINGTHEQURAN at www.godofmoralperfection.com ):
God being a God of Moral Perfection therefore:
God gave man a free will to do good or evil, to explore the truth of any question including His existence. Freedom of speech and expression are unimpeachable human rights. We have the right to reason, to explore, to seek the truth of any question – total freedom of thought. To think and reason without fear of jail/death. No one has the right to threaten, coerce, intimidate anyone with torture, prison or death for freely expressing, views that they do not agree with no matter how abhorrent those views. We have the right to challenge any ideology, government, leaders of any state, heads of any organizations, the tenets and beliefs of any organization, including all religions. The right to write any thought, read any book, pursue any intellectual enterprise in the arts, literature, sciences, paint any picture, and draw any caricature no matter how offensive. Having given man intelligence, God believes that no man should be ruled by dictators. It must be declared that not even God can deny you your constitutional rights because if God denied these rights, he would no longer be Moral Perfection and therefore no longer God.
GOD HAS NO RIGHT TO BE IN THE BEDROOMS OF THE NATION
Consenting men and women past the age of consent (18) and acting of their own free will without coercion have the full right to live their lives sexually as they wish. There is no sin in sex and no adultery in free people living their lives freely. The relationship between married or single couples no matter their sexual orientation is nobodies business but their own. A God of Moral Perfection is not a peeping Tom looking thru windows at the sexually activity of his creations. Adultery has been used by the men of God to torture and murder millions mostly women. Adultery has been used to justify the subjugation of women. Its removal from the Ten Commandments and replacement with You Shall Love All Mankind (Your Neighbour) will be an act of liberation.
SEXISM WAS THE FIRST RACISM
A God of Moral Perfection is not a sexist. He is not a male chauvinist pig. God believes in the total equality of men and women in every way. Unfortunately religion has become a vehicle to demean, denigrate, enslave women to men. Men have used religion as a chain to control and imprison women both mentally and physically. By denying 50% of mankind their mankind – their human equalness is one of the greatest crimes religion has committed against God.
Moses could have created a teaching of Moral Perfection changing these 5 commandments to:
You shall not make war.
You shall not rape.
You shall not own slaves nor countenance the ownership of slaves.
You Shall Love Thy Neighbour
Notice the change to commandment 9.
Moses got 5 commandments right and 5 wrong. Following is the new 21st century 15 Commandments:
15 COMMANDMENTS FOR THE 21st CENTURY
I. You shall not make war.
II.You shall not rape.
III.You shall not own slaves or countenance the ownership of slaves.
IV.Honor your father and your mother!
V.You shall not kill!
VI.You shall love thy neighbour!
VII.You shall not steal!
VIII. You shall not bear false witness against your neighbor!
IX.You shall not covet your neighbor’s wife or husband!
X. You shall not covet your neighbor’s goods!
XI You Shall Not Hate
XII You shall Treat Women As The Equal of Men
XIII You shall live in democracy and freedom
XIV No man shall live in dictatorship
XV You shall have the right to life, liberty, and the pursuit of happiness
Now the Commandments are Moral Perfection. However, even though these fifteen Commandments are now Moral Perfection, they are obviously not from God. They are from me. Therefore, even though a teaching may be Moral Perfection does not necessarily mean that it is from God – it only raises the possibility that the teaching is from God.
MOSES, THE QURAN AND ISLAM
In order to give himself and Islam legitimacy, Muhammad fabricated the name of Moses 120 times in the Quran.
Since every word of the Quran was from Muhammad, he totally took the story of Moses from the Old Testament and repeats it verbatim in the Quran.
Muhammad understood that in order to give himself and Islam, the cloak of legitimacy, he needed to usurp the legacy of Moses.
In the Quran, Moses called upon the children of Israel to worship God alone and he laid down the laws prescribed in the Torah.
“Verily, We did send down the Torah to Moses, therein was guidance and light, by which the Prophets, who submitted themselves to God’s Will, judged the Jews. And the rabbis and the priests too judged the Jews by the Torah for to them was entrusted the protection of God’s Book, and they were witnesses thereto.” (Quran 5:44)
“We recite to you some of the news of Moses and Pharaoh in truth, for a people who believe. Verily, Pharaoh exalted himself in the land and made its people sects, weakening (oppressing) a group (i.e. Children of Israel) among them; killing their sons, and letting their females live. Verily, he was of those who commit great sins and crimes, oppressors, tyrant.” (Quran 28:3&4)
This is all from Angel Gabriel who recites the entire story of Moses to Muhammad. Heres more of Angel Gabriel’s transmissions. (Of course these verses were all from Muhammad who plagiarized the Bible and Torah.)
(Quran 28:5&6), (Quran 28:2-7). (Quran 65:2-3) (Quran 28:8-9) , (Quran 28:12) (Quran 28:22-24) (Quran 28:13) (Quran 28:25) (Quran 28:26-28) (Quran 49:13) (Quran 28:29) (Quran 27:8&9) (Quran 20:14-16) (Quran 20:18) (Quran 28:31) (Quran 28:32) (Quran 20:24) (Quran 28:33) (Quran 20:25-48). (Quran 26:20-31) (Quran 40:36-37) (Quran 28: 76-82) (Quran 40:28) (Quran 40: 45) (Quran 7:134) (Quran 7: 138-141) (Quran2: 61). (Quran 5:20-26) (Quran 7:142-144) (Quran 6:151-152) (Quran 18:66-82)
So We sent on them: the flood, the locusts, the lice, the frogs, and the blood, as a succession of signs, yet they remained arrogant, and they were of those people who were criminals, polytheists and sinners. But when We removed the punishment from them to a fixed term, which they had to reach, behold! They broke their word! So We took retribution from them. We drowned them in the sea, because they belied Our signs, and were heedless about them. (Quran 7: 130-136)
And We took the children of Israel across the sea, and Pharaoh with his hosts followed them in oppression and enmity, till when drowning overtook him, he said, “None has the right to be worshipped but He, in whom the children of Israel believe, and I am one of the Muslims (those who submit to God’s Will).” (Quran 20:83-98)
The punishment imposed upon the idol worshippers was severe.
“Remember when Moses said to his people: “O my people! Verily, you have wronged yourselves by worshipping the calf. So turn in repentance to your Creator and kill yourselves (the innocent kill the wrong doers among you), that will be better for you in the Sight of your Creator.” Then He accepted your repentance. Truly, He is the One who accepts repentance, the Most Merciful.” (Quran 2:54)
All these Quranic verses are fraudulent. As Moral Perfection God never “sent on them: the flood, the locusts, the lice, the frogs, and the blood,” “ drowned them in the sea” “till when drowning overtook him,” never ordered the innocent to kill the wrong doers “(So turn in repentance to your Creator and kill yourselves (the innocent kill the wrong doers among you) “that will be better for you in the Sight of your Creator.”
To think that God would order the mass murder by the Children of Israel to purge themselves and kill the idol worshippers among them and then God accepted their repentance so that the Children of Israel once again felt God’s favor upon them is such evil evil.
No innocent person could kill the idol worshippers.
Moses then chose 70 men from amongst the most pious elders of the Children of Israel. He returned with them to Mount Tur. They were a delegation intending to apologize to God for their behavior. They stood back while Moses moved into a low-lying cloud to speak with God while the elders waited. When he came back to them, instead of feeling repentant and apologizing the elders informed Moses that they would not truly follow him until they had seen God with their own eyes.
“O Moses! We shall never believe in you till we see God plainly.” (Quran 2:35)
The ground shook and the seventy men were struck by a lightening bolt. They fell to the ground dead. Moses was astounded. He immediately wondered what he would say to the Children of Israel. These seventy men were the best of people; Moses felt that now the Children of Israel had no hope. He turned to God.
“O my Lord, if it had been Your Will, You could have destroyed them and me before; would You destroy us for the deeds of the foolish ones among us? It is only Your trial by which You lead astray whom You will, and keep guided whom You will. You are our Protector, so forgive us and have Mercy on us, for You are the best of those who forgive. And ordain for us good in this world, and in the Hereafter. Certainly we have turned unto You.” He said (as to) My Punishment I afflict therewith whom I will and My Mercy embraces all things. That (Mercy) I shall ordain for those who are the pious and give alms; and those who believe in our signs.” (Quran 7:155-157)
God murdered 70 elders and only after Moses begged Him did God raise them from the dead. This really happened because God recited Quran 7:155-157 to Gabriel who recited to Muhammad who recited to his followers. But of course this verse and ALL verses listed above and ALL other verses of the Quran are a bunch of evil evil.
(Quran 12: 111) is the culmination of the usurpation of Moses by Muhammad
“Indeed, in their stories, there is a lesson for men of understanding. It (the Quran) is not a forged statement but a confirmation of God’s existing Books (the Torah, the Gospel and other Scriptures of God) and a detailed explanation of everything, a guide, and a Mercy for the people who believe.” (Quran 12: 111)
The Quran is a forged statement not a confirmation of the Torah and the Gospel.
Every one of these verses are bogus. That God would kill, murder, torture is beyond evil. Muhammad was beyond evil.
What happens when the Jews see thru these Quranic verses as phony and reject Muhammad and his Allah and Quran. Mass murder. Kill them all.
SHEER HATRED AGAINST THE JEWS
Muhammad creates a torrent of hatred from his own mouth in the Quran. Gone is the Torah with its protection of god’s book “And the rabbis and the priests too judged the Jews by the Torah for to them was entrusted the protection of God’s Book, and they were witnesses thereto.”
The peoples of the book must submit to Islam, pay jizya tax or be murdered. (Quran 9:29) Jews become donkeys and apes. ( Quran 2:65, Quran 7:176, Quran 5:60)
For a comparison between Mein Kamp and Quran go to: Page 79 of book – Killing Prophet Muhammad.
MASS MURDER
The Day of Judgment will not come about until Muslims fight the Jews, when the Jew will hide behind stones and trees. The stones and trees will say O Muslims, O Abdullah, there is a Jew behind me, come and kill him. Only the Gharkad tree, (theBoxthorntree) would not do that because it is one of the trees of the Jews. (related by al-Bukhari and Muslim).Sahih Muslim,41:6985, see also
Sahih Muslim,41:6981,Sahih Muslim,41:6982,Sahih Muslim,41:6983,Sahih Muslim,41:6984,Sahih al-Bukhari,4:56:791,(Sahih al-Bukhari,4:52:177)
“the Apostle of Allah said, ‘Kill any Jew that falls into your power.” [Ibn Ishaq, Siratul Rasul, v. 553]
Kill All the Jews: The First Final Solution
Book 019, Number 4366
It has been narrated by ‘Umar b. al-Khattib that he heard the Messenger of Allah (may peace be upon him) say: “I will expel the Jews and Christians from the Arabian Peninsula and will not leave any but Muslim.” [This single sahi hadiths tells everything about Islamic intolerance]
Bukhari Volume 4, Book 52, Number 288
The Prophet on his death-bed, gave three orders one of them was to Expel the
pagans from the Arabian Peninsula.
Bukhari
Volume 4, Book 52, Number 176 Narrated ‘Abdullah bin ‘Umar:
Allah’s Apostle said, “You (i.e. Muslims) will fight with the Jews till
some of them will hide behind stones. The stones will (betray them) saying, ‘O
‘Abdullah (i.e. slave of Allah)! There is a Jew hiding behind me; so kill him.’
”
The Quran Celebrated the Massacre of the Jews of Banu Qurayza
Quran-33:25- “Allah turned back the unbelievers [Meccans and their allies, e.g., Banu Qurayza] in a state of rage, having not won any good, and Allah spared the believers battle. Allah is, indeed, Strong and Mighty.”
Quran-33:26- “And He brought those of the People of the Book [Jewish people of Banu Qurayza] who supported them from their fortresses and cast terror into their hearts, some of them you slew (beheaded) and some you took prisoners (captive)”
Quran-33:27- “And He made you heirs of their lands, their houses, and their goods, and of a land which ye had not frequented (before). And Allah has power over all things.” [Merciful Allah asked Prophet Muhammad to confiscate entire properties of surrendered Jews]
Quran-8:67—“It is not fitting for an Apostle that he should have prisoners of war until He thoroughly subdued the land….” (Allah insisting Prophet to kill all the prisoners, and should not keep any surrendered prisoners alive until He (Prophet) occupied entire Arabia.”
Quran-8:17—It is not ye who Slew them; it is God; when thou threwest a handful of dust, it was not Thy act, but God’s…..” (Allah said, the killing of surrendered soldiers were done by the wish of Allah)
How can you believe in a God, the all-perfect and loving creator of the universe, who instructs the murder of all prisoners? These are CRIMES AGAINST HUMANITY. An ideal God cannot author such heartless and barbaric teachings. Allah order “Make slaughter in the land.” Mass murder. Take no prisoner, kill them all. Words of hatred and terror pour from verses 33:25-26 cited above: “in a state of rage” “cast terror into their hearts” “some you slew” (beheaded). Insanity to the extreme!
THE CHRISTIANS FARED NO BETTER
Qur’an 5:17 and 5:72 labels those who believe in the divinity of Christkafara— unbelievers, or infidels. And in the context of a holy book that tells Muslims to “fight those adjacent to you of the disbelievers and let them find in you harshness”
So much for the vaulted people’s of the Book.
The Bible, Torah, Christians and Jews, Hindus and Buddhists are not a danger to democracy and freedom – the peace of the world. Moses is not a threat to the peace of the world. As has been shown in Killing Prophet Muhammad (free download at www.godofmoralperfection.com ) the Quran and Muslims are a direct threat to all mankind.

Not just the team commandments…..NOTHING OF the Bible IS FROM ANY god. ENTIRE BIBLE IS MERELY PLAGIARISM OF PRE-JUDAIC AND CONTEMPORARY RELIGIONS OF THE REGION.
The best example is the name of the god El (Elyon) of babble came directly from the pagan Ugaritic religion. Tablets from Canaanite region has revealed this.
EL was the proper name of the chief of gods of Ugarite religion. Linguists propose that this word EL meant strength. EL, the chief Ugarite god had many divine sons. He lived on a celestial mountain having a magical tree and lived underneath a tent on this mountain. Rivers used to flow from this tree on the mountain.
There are many clues that the Hebrew Israelites borrowed many of these themes from Ugarit religion. Judaism was originally polytheistic and later evolved into a monotheistic religion, combining different gods into one god.
The following biblical verse clearly says that none of the Jews even knew the name of Yahweh before Moses revealed the name to the Jews.
Exodus 6
3 and~I~will~be~SEE(Verb) (וָאֵרָא / wa’ey’ra) TO (אֶל / el) Avraham (אַבְרָהָם / av’ra’ham) TO (אֶל / el) Yits’hhaq (יִצְחָק / yits’hhaq) and~TO (וְאֶל / wê’el) Ya’aqov (יַעֲקֹב / ya’a’qov) in~MIGHTY.ONE (בְּאֵל / bê’eyl) Shaddai (שַׁדָּי / sha’dai) and~TITLE~me (וּשְׁמִי / ush’mi) YHWH (יְהוָה / YHWH) NOT (לֹא / lo) I~did~be~KNOW(Verb) (נוֹדַעְתִּי / no’da’ti) to~~them(m) (לָהֶם / la’hem) [259]
and I appeared to Avraham, to Yits’hhaq, and to Ya’aqov with the mighty one of Shaddai, and my title is YHWH, I was not known to them,
Observe two things here.
1. The name YHWH was never known to anybody, before Moses.
2. Observe that the translation says Yahweh appeared with el-sha’dai.
It does NOT say YHWH is El-Shaddai. All translations miss the important word “with” = “be” in Hebrew.
Why does the verse say “with El-Sha’dai”? This is polytheism. Deuteronomy 32:8-9 as well says that to the sons of god Elyon (Dead Sea scrolls and septuagint versions), was distributed many nations and Israel was given to YHWH….why? Again, it is clear that earlier version of this religion considered a chief god leading a council of gods, who are sons of this leader god. This is reflected in the Bible. Later interpolations and editing of bible by scribes (Masoteric text) changed and started stressing both these names are of same god.
How do we know this? Present research from Ugaritic scripts and tablets reveal this truth. Ugaritic script precedes Hebrew script by few centuries. Ugaritic tablets show a god named El/Elyon leading a council of gods and had 70 sons and he distributed nations among them. This god Elyon also lives in a cosmic mountain under a tent, just like the Bible god Elyon also appeared to Moses in mount of Sinai and asked to build a tent around the ark of covenant. There are many other similarities of poems and imagery (strong like a bull etc.) in Ugarit and bible all over. This is published by scholars like Mark S Smith.
Another example is the practice of “Cherem” (burning everything in enemies city including humans beings and animals as offering to some god) in the Bible. Even the verses describing “cherem” in bible parallel the The Moabite Mesha Stele (pagan Moabite religious practice). All these clearly show that the Bible has just plagiarized what the pagan canaanites have believed and modified them.
NOW CRUSTIAN IDIOTS WILL START TU-QUOQUO and ad-hominem nonsense here…..

‘Pagan Roman Empire had philosophers, literature, science, great buildings, statues and works of art. It had advanced communication, plumbing and transportation systems. It had a universal set of measures, laws and rules.
And then the Dark Ages (i.e., Christianism & Islam) came.
In the blink of an eye, all that was lost. The people no longer had the technological know-how even to repair bridges and aqueducts built by the Romans. They had lost the ability to make cement. They lost many of the works of Aristotle. Roads and plumbing fell into disrepair. Statues crumbled. Nikki Haley would be happy!
Only centuries later did human civilization begin to reassert itself, barely climbing back to the Pagan accomplishments of several centuries earlier.’
Whether one includes them as teaching is really not an option because of Who has given them.
We have entered the “age to come” foretold by Jesus in Mark 10:30.

Today is the 145th day of the General Resurrection of the Dead.
‘The most scandalous instance of an expunction came to the notice of Professor Morton Smith of the Columbia University while Prof. Smith was staying at Jerusalem in 1958 A.D.
Professor Morton Smith discovered in a monastery named Mar Saba the correspondence between Bishop Clement of Alexandria who lived at the end of the first century A.D. and a contemporary character named Theodore.
It concerned a passage that followed immediately after Gospel Mark 10.46 which makes Jesus the Nazarene Jew arrive at and leave from Jericho.
Biblical Scholars were puzzled for centuries as to what happened at that place, but there was no clue!
The correspondence between Bishop Clement of Alexandria and Theodore contains the passage, which had been censored out of Gospel Mark for fear of raising a scandal.
The passage says that, Jesus the Nazarene Jew spent several days and nights with Lazarus, both of them remaining naked.
It seems that homosexuals — in the first century A.D. Christian churches — were citing this censored out Gospel Mark passage in support of their homosexual practice, as homosexuals in the Christian churches are doing today.’

Sam Harris wrote about the non-violence aspect of Jainism in The End of Faith (where he argued that even moderate religions were harmful):
A rise of Jain fundamentalism would endanger no one. In fact, the uncontrollable spread of Jainism throughout the world would improve our situation immensely. We would lose more of our crops to pests, perhaps (observant Jains generally will not kill anything, including insects), but we would not find ourselves surrounded by suicidal terrorists or by a civilization that widely condones their actions.
These are words of a Jain
While the “non-violence” aspect is admirable, Jains still believe in plenty of bullshit:
•Jains believe in a never-ending, cyclical time cycle, with phases of “rising” and “falling” happiness. Each phase lasts several thousands of years. This is all fiction, of course.
•Jains believe that they can accumulate and shed karma and this impacts their future lives (reincarnation). There’s no evidence of this.
•Jains support being free of materialism — not because it can be destructive in and of itself, but because it’ll allow you to more easily break free from the cycle of reincarnation. They’re doing a good thing for the wrong reason.
•Jains don’t believe in a god, per se, but they do believe in supernatural beings who have broken free of the reincarnation cycle to attain Nirvana. In fact, there are 24 beings who have done that… and we know their names. We memorized their names as children. Though there’s no evidence any of them ever “attained Nirvana.”
•Jainism encourages an 8-day-long (or worse), unhealthy fasting during the holy time of the year. During the fast, you may only consume water that’s been pre-boiled.
•The Jain rules regarding a vegetarian diet seem like they’re made up on the spot. Eggs are bad, but milk is ok. Potatoes and other food from the ground are bad, but there are exceptions depending on the day. Alcohol is forbidden, but young Jains go to bars all the time. The rules make hypocrisy rampant… but almost unavoidable.
“There are plenty of difference between Hinduism and Jainism; the biggest being the gods” said [Jainesh Mehta (no relation), vice president of the Jain Vishva Bharati-Preksha Meditation Center]. “Essentially, we don’t believe in the same things; we share eight demi-gods with Hinduism but even then we don’t worship them like a Hindu would. But we do have similar faith traits, that being giving up world materials to achieve Nirvana.”
“The karma you accumulate in this life and previous lifetimes will determine your condition for your next lifetime,” Mehta said. “We associate karma to be like a black cloud. The more karma you have the more ignorant you are; the less karma you have the more aware you’ve become.”
Demi-gods, nirvana, “next lifetime,” karma? Those beliefs sound like something out of Scientology. But Jains take them very seriously.
Only Jesus is the way, the truth and life. Jesus alone is sinless, did great miracles and has the greatest number of followers, has the largest amount of positive books written about him and whose lifestory as mentioned in the Gospel is the largest selling book since its compilation and the dawn of the printing press in the 13th century till today. It has increased exponentially even during this internet age.
Mahavira taught vegetarianism and had an extreme view on it. (He did not know that there were humans in other parts of the world who had no choice but to eat meat (Eskimos, Islanders etc.)
He was naked (wore no clothes) because clothes can hurt insects which crawl over him.
Mahavira believed that life existed in myriad forms which included animals, plants, insects, bodies of water, fire, and wind. He taught that a monk should avoid touching or disturbing any of them (including plants) and never swim, light (or extinguish) a fire, or wave their arms in the air; such actions might injure other beings living in those states of matter.
If humans did not learn and teach others swimming how many would perish???
Mahavira did not believe in a creator God.
Mahavira preached that the nature of existence is cyclic, and the soul is reborn after death in one of the trilok – the heavenly, hellish, or earthly realms of existence and suffering. Humans are reborn, depending on one’s karma (actions) as a human, animal, element, microbe, or other form, on earth or in a heavenly (or hellish) realm. Nothing is permanent; everyone (including gods, demons and earthly beings) dies and is reborn, based on their actions in their previous life. Jinas who have reached Kevala Jnana (omniscience) are not reborn; they enter the siddhaloka, the “realm of the perfected ones”.
The above teachings and ideas of Mahavira are certainly non-violent but are not practical, infact fringes on lunacy.
‘Jewish-Christian-Islamic Morality versus Mahavira’s Universal Moral Code:
The founder of Jainism, Mahavira, who lived 6 centuries before the birth of Jesus the Nazarene Jew, produced a moral code in one sentence that outshines anything written in the Jewish-Christian Bible.
The following is a quote from Sam Harris’s book “Letter to a Christian Nation,” page 23:
Mahavira, the Jain patriarch, surpassed the morality of the Bible with a single sentence:
“DO NOT injure, abuse, oppress, enslave, insult, torment, torture, or kill any creature or living being.”
Imagine how different our world might have been if the Jewish-Christian Bible contained this as its central precept.
It should be obvious that, morality DID NOT originate with the Judeo-Christianity, but rather that it deteriorated with the spread of that Jewish-Christian religion.
Under the supposed authority of their faith, Jews, Christians and Muslims violated every one of Mahavira’s precepts and justified it all by reference to their ‘holy’ book(s).’

There is a Creator God as the body of human beings (in fact of all living things) are an extremely complex creation.
This complex creation (human body) cannot happen by chance or by a series of successful consecutive random mutations evolving from a single cell or even a cluster of cell and even if they are over a period of billions of years. There has to be a creator (who is God)
The only person who was/is morally perfect and who ever walked on this Earth was Jesus. Only Jesus qualifies to be comparable to God or is God. (Jesus had all the attributes of God)
If we do not have laws in the Bedroom then we open the gates for incest (sex between father daughter, mother-son, sister-brother, brother-brother, father-son, wife and kid swapping sex, grandfather- grand-daughter sex etc.) rape, bestiality, pedophilia, homosexuality, group sex, polygamy and polyandry and broken dysfunctional families.
Men and women though created equal are not equal physically. They are meant to complement and procreate within marital boundaries.
The Ten Commandments are not a set of rules which will guarantee salvation if followed. They have been given for an entirely different purpose. Galatians 3:24 says that the law is a schoolmaster that guards us, teaches us and leads us to Christ. What that means is that when we look at the Ten Commandments, we should see that we have broken them and recognize our utter helplessness to do what is right in God’s eyes. We have all sinned and fallen short of His glory and goodness (Romans 3:23), and therefore we need His love and mercy (Romans 7:24-8:1). Thankfully, we have been given the amazing gift of forgiveness through Jesus Christ, and all who believe and trust Him can say, with King David, “Blessed are those whose lawless deeds are forgiven, and whose sins are covered; blessed is the man against whom the Lord will not count his sin” (Psalm 32:1).
You may wonder, Why did God give us the Ten Commandments?
First, God gave the Ten Commandments for the personal well-being of His people. In Exodus 20:2, God said, “I am the LORD your God, who brought you out of the land of Egypt, out of the house of slavery.” God had already redeemed His people and brought them out of slavery. And now that they were out there on their own, He was giving them the rules that would govern their lives. Remember this: never is there any hint that keeping the law would result in their redemption. Nowhere in the Bible is the idea that we can earn God’s approval by keeping the law. The Israelites had already been redeemed at this point. The law was given for their personal well-being.
Many Christians believe the Old Testament teaches that the law saves us and the New Testament teaches we are saved by grace. That is not true. In the New Testament there is law as well as grace. When you become a Christian it doesn’t mean you have no law; it means you serve under the new law that God gives. In the Old Testament, keeping the law did not save people. That was impossible. No man could be saved by keeping the law because no man could keep the law. You find grace in the pages of the Old Testament. You find God’s grace in Genesis 3 after Adam and Eve sinned, when God killed an animal and took the skin and covered the first couple. You see grace and faith in Genesis 15:6 when Abraham “believed in the LORD; and He reckoned it to him as righteousness.” We’re saved the same way whether in the Old or the New Testament. Every person is saved by grace, which is appropriated through faith. God gave the law, not to save His people but to teach them how to live.
Second, the law was given to serve as a foundation for the nation of Israel. There are three essentials for any nation. A nation has to have a common people, a common land, and a common law or constitution. God had already given the Israelites a common people when he called Abraham out of Ur of the Chaldeans. They were headed to their common land, the land of Canaan. But what they needed to bind them together was a constitution, a law. That’s what we find, beginning the Exodus 20.
And finally, God gave the law to remind the people of their own sinfulness. Did God believe the Israelites were actually going to keep the law? Of course not. That’s why God instituted a sacrificial system with the understanding that they would need forgiveness. You know, the book of James says the law is like a mirror that shows us how dirty our lives really are. In the book of Galatians, Paul refutes the Judaizers, who thought the law was what saved them. Paul said no. He explained, “The Law has become our tutor to lead us to Christ, so that we may be justified by faith” (Galatians 3:24). A tutor in Paul’s day was a slave who would walk the child to school. And Paul is saying that the law is like a tutor, an attendant who leads us to Jesus Christ.
The law doesn’t save us. It reminds us of how much we need God’s forgiveness for salvation.
“If there is a God, who has created heaven and earth, it will be unjust on His part if He deprived Millions of souls born before Moses of His Divine Knowledge.” Prof. MaxMuller
‘THE REAL 10 COMMANDMENTS
Few Christians know the history of the TEN COMMANDMENTS, and for the sake of their Christian faith, this is a good thing!
The traditional TEN COMMANDMENTS, listed in Exodus 20, were never delivered to the Israelites because Moses the Egyptian smashed the plates containing them out of anger that his people were worshiping a golden calf.
Also, these were never referred to as the ‘TEN COMMANDMENTS.’
Instead, in Exodus 34, fictitious God delivers the official TEN COMMANDMENTS, identified as such in Exodus 34:28.
These are the commandments that were placed by Moses the Egyptian in the Arc of the Covenant.
Here are the real TEN COMMANDMENTS (numbers added by the author):
=================================================================
EXODUS 34:12-28
“Be careful not to make a treaty with those who live in the land where you are going, or they will be a snare among you. Break down their altars, smash their sacred stones and cut down their Asherah poles.
“DO NOT WORSHIP ANY OTHER GOD, FOR THE LORD, WHOSE NAME IS JEALOUS, IS A JEALOUS GOD [1].
“Be careful not to make a treaty with those who live in the land; for when they prostitute themselves to their gods and sacrifice to them, they will invite you and you will eat their sacrifices. And when you choose some of their daughters as wives for your sons and those daughters prostitute themselves to their gods, they will lead your sons to do the same.
“DO NOT MAKE ANY IDOLS [2].
“CELEBRATE THE FESTIVAL OF UNLEAVENED BREAD [3].
‘For seven days eat bread made without yeast, as I commanded you. Do this at the appointed time in the month of Aviv, for in that month you came out of Egypt.
“THE FIRST OFFSPRING OF EVERY WOMB BELONGS TO ME, INCLUDING ALL THE FIRSTBORN MALES OF YOUR LIVESTOCK, WHETHER FROM HERD OR FLOCK. REDEEM THE FIRSTBORN DONKEY WITH A LAMB, BUT IF YOU DO NOT REDEEM IT, BREAK ITS NECK. REDEEM ALL YOUR FIRSTBORN SONS [4].
“No one is to appear before me empty-handed.
“SIX DAYS YOU SHALL LABOR, BUT ON THE SEVENTH DAY YOU SHALL REST [5]; even during the plowing season and harvest you must rest.
“CELEBRATE THE FESTIVAL OF WEEKS WITH THE FIRSTFRUITS OF THE WHEAT HARVEST [6], and the Festival of Ingathering at the turn of the year.
“THREE TIMES A YEAR ALL YOUR MEN ARE TO APPEAR BEFORE THE SOVEREIGN LORD, THE GOD OF ISRAEL [7].
“I will drive out nations before you and enlarge your territory, and no one will covet your land when you go up three times each year to appear before the Lord your God.
“DO NOT OFFER THE BLOOD OF A SACRIFICE TO ME ALONG WITH ANYTHING CONTAINING YEAST [8], and do not let any of the sacrifice from the Passover Festival remain until morning.
“BRING THE BEST OF THE FIRST FRUITS OF YOUR SOIL TO THE HOUSE OF THE LORD YOUR GOD [9].
“DO NOT COOK A YOUNG GOAT IN ITS MOTHER’S MILK [10].”
=================================================================
Then the fictitious Lord said to Moses the Egyptian, “Write down these words, for in accordance with these words I have made a covenant with you and with Israel.”
Moses the Egyptian was there with the Lord forty days and forty nights without eating bread or drinking water.
And Moses the Egyptian wrote on the tablets the words of the covenant — the TEN COMMANDMENTS.
So, what to make of all these?
For one, the Christians who clamor about placing copies of the TEN COMMANDMENTS on public ground, are not dealing in reality, either with respect to the American Constitutional Law or even their own Bibles.
Second, the real TEN COMMANDMENTS are obviously NOT words of divine wisdom intended to inspire and be followed by modern societies, rather they are a crude set of rules applicable only to their time and place.
And finally, whatever you do, make sure that you don’t boil your baby-goats in its mother’s milk!’

If anyone can create the below for their God. I will be happy to accept their God.

Jake you have said that “IX. You shall not covet your neighbour’s wife” as a bogus imperfect commandment. But strangely you have included this in your own 15 commandments “IX. You shall not covet your neighbour’s wife or husband!” Anyway I appreciate your audacity that you appear to claim ‘you are greater than God’. But God in His wisdom knows man could turn to be a polygamist and it is so. That is why He omitted ‘husband”
It is God who created the universe and sustains the human race. It is right if He is a true God that He should assert, before His creatures, WHO HE IS. That is why He has given the first three commandments. Almost all violent versus in the OT are against idol worshipping not for the conversion of people to Judaism. The chosen Jewish race suffered most. The violent versus are not prescriptive. These versus are close ended for a specific purpose and time. God punishes idolaters just as a party leader purges his members who hold opposing views or Just as a sculptor who throws away the bad ones. God knows that He will send His Son Jesus soon. He does not want His son to be born in a family of four wives and forty children or among idol worshippers. God is gentle and powerful.
I have been following the Palestinian issues for the last 30 years, I couldn’t find/heard a single incident of rape of an Arab woman by a Jewish soldier. It is a proof that God has guided the Jewish people through the 4000 year old “Ten Commandments”. If an atheist has given these ten core values 4000 years ago I would have followed Atheism.
As for the Ten Commandments in the Authorized King James Version of the Bible and by contrasting it with the New King James Version of the Bible and the commandment in the KJV “Thou shall not kill” and the subject of capital punishment.. The information in this following essay is very important .
On the subject of Capital Punishment those who go outside a protest against the state government using of the death penalty and holding up signs show the words printed on them “Thou shall not kill”, those four words which are the sixth commandment , Exodus 20:13. are taken form the AUTHORIZED KING JAMES VERSION translation of the Bible of the Ten Commandments . By and large the A.K.J.V.is a good translation yet not a perfect one. For Jewish and Christian scholar who understand the original Hebrew which the Old Testament , some call it the “Older Testament “, of the Bible which was first written in Hebrew, the point the those scholars will inform all who are willing to listen that the word was “Murder”” and not “Kill” in the original Hebrew of which the First Old Testament was written.
There is a vast different between those two words “Killing “and “murder “, for example a dictionary definition of the word “Murder” is “the unlawful and malicious act of killing another person.” In contrast “Killing is defined as “To put to death or to slay”
So the anti-capital punishment people who quote Exodus 20:13 in the A.K.J. V. might also look up that same specific verse in the NEW KING JAMS VERSiON and see how it’s put right by reading “ You shall not murder” For in the very next chapter in Exodus 21:12 it reads “He who strikes man so that he dies shall surely be put to death.”
Further, in the New Testament the Bible reader in Roman 13:1-4 that not only are governmental law enforcement forces are ordained by God to hold back and stop the criminal and wicked activities by evil and dangerous men. This also this may extent to the criminal courts which h included punishment for the evil doer. If the Bible student examines more closely the specific verse number four he or she will discover that the scripture even refers to the government executor as type of minister of God to punish such men.
Be the evil man be a murderous villain a in America such as Dennis Radar or that evil and murderous villain in Canada as Russell Williams , that wicked man, in the light of the Bible, should be put to death.
In conclusion the people who use their constitutional right to speak out against capital punishment do and should have the right of freedom of speech and expression to let other know how they feel on the subject of capital punishment. Nevertheless they either don’t know or do know but couldn’t care less that they are misusing the Bible in quoting Exodus 20:13 out of context.
Some of the anti –capital punishment feel might feel real righteous and pious by quoting that single verse out of the whole Bible , still in spite of the “pious emotions” some of them might have ,they are still misusing the Bible.
