Phil Launchbury says... And how the hell would you know anything about my sex life, or possible lack thereof? Nowhere have I ever mentioned my girlfriend in a sexual manner, so draw any conclusions from that, not from your own speculations.
So she doesn't TIUTA then? -- Krusty www.MuddyStuff.co.uk Off-Road Classifieds '02 MV Senna '03 Tiger 955i '96 Tiger '79 Fantic Hiro 250
Love the Darwin one, but I can't imagine how shit my car would need to be before I'd consider attaching one of those to it.
Hey, the Mithraic temple not far from here probably gets as many visitors per year as its nearest church, if not more...
I'm the one with sufficient self-control to not do it on a regular basis.. Hint - have I ever told anyone here how to behave? Yes - but lets not mistake the ceremony for the marriage.. Given that you don't approve of telling other people how to behave I assume that you are perfectly OK with me having this attitude? Phil.
No, not at all. At the highest level you get to choose which religeon you want to be a part of[1], & it's all down hill from there. [1] OK the choice is usually made for you by where you're born or where your parents were born, but you can still choose to switch to another one later. -- Krusty www.MuddyStuff.co.uk Off-Road Classifieds '02 MV Senna '03 Tiger 955i '96 Tiger '79 Fantic Hiro 250
Each individual. Which is why I don't generally go round telling other people what to do (except in a work context) as my reasons my not be valid for others. Phil.
Fair enough - but for me it isn't a question of choosing which bits you like but the whole package. Phil.
If that's true[1], you still chose which package, based mainly on where you were born/grew up, &/or your parent's beliefs. Presumably you believe that breaching any part of that package will result in eternal damnation, which is a bit of a bummer for the billions of people who chose a different package. [1] Which I very much doubt. Didn't you buy your house/car/bike because you 'desired' them after seeing them in the possession of a 'neighbour'? Surely that's a breach of #10. -- Krusty www.MuddyStuff.co.uk Off-Road Classifieds '02 MV Senna '03 Tiger 955i '96 Tiger '79 Fantic Hiro 250
Indeed. And an even less enviable record in encouraging people into behaviour that (should they lapse in their morality) will result in their catching a fairly fatal disease. Phil.
Indeed. Which is why I belong where I belong. Not so much eternal damnation as '1 strike and that's it'. It's hard to believe in eternal damnation when you don't believe in an immortal soul.. Coveting it you mean? Nothing wrong with buying something that someone else has because you like it - the commandment is to not inordinately desire other peoples posessions to the extent that you do nasty things in order to obtain them. Were I to go to your house, beat you up and torture you until you signed your Pink Tiger over to me because I couldn't live without it *that* would be me coveting it. Were I just to take my nice, proper-coloured Tiger and paint it pink to be like yours that would not be coveting - merely... odd. Phil.
OK but you believe bad stuff will happen, so all those billions are buggered, & you're buggered according to their package rules, & us non-believers are buggered because we don't stick to anyone's rules. So basically we're all up shit-creek! Ah, the old interpretation card. Funny, that's not the definition of covet in any dictionary I've seen. It simply means 'desire', not 'desire, & beat the crap out of someone to obtain'. The same goes for #4 (making likenesses). Seems pretty clear cut to me, but doesn't suit the god-botherers so they 'interpret' it as meaning something else that suits them better.

Bad stuff in terms of "you'll die and then that's it" - well yes. But you won't care about it because you'll be dead.. *Sigh* Websters online: Main Entry: cov·et Pronunciation: 'k&-v&t Function: verb Etymology: Middle English coveiten, from Anglo-French coveiter, from Vulgar Latin *cupidietare, from Latin cupiditat-, cupiditas desire, from cupidus desirous, from cupere to desire transitive verb 1 : to wish for earnestly <covet an award> 2 : to desire (what belongs to another) inordinately or culpably intransitive verb : to feel inordinate desire for what belongs to another Happy now? The Latin is where we got the word 'cupidity' which is defined as: Etymology: Middle English cupidite, from Anglo-French cupidité, from Latin cupiditat-, cupiditas -- more at COVET 1 : inordinate desire for wealth : AVARICE, GREED 2 : strong desire : LUST It is. Very. Which is why there are no images of God in Judaism. Yet another thing that the 'regular' churches lost on their long slide into neo-paganism. Phil.
Yes, very. Like I said - nothing about doing nasty things to obtain them. -- Krusty www.MuddyStuff.co.uk Off-Road Classifieds '02 MV Senna '03 Tiger 955i '96 Tiger '79 Fantic Hiro 250
