Cherry picking (none / 0)
didn't see that one coming :-)

what about the first commandment, he? The first commandment is just another word for intolarence, it's also a sign of a very petty and insecure god.

Also "Honor your father and mother" seems nice, but what if your parents abuse you, does this also count for the 6 yo girl who's raped by her father, if we go by history: YES, the churches have covered up most abuses.

what gives it an extra something of course is the punishment for breaking the commandments: death.

How come... (none / 0)

....it's always the DAD who's the abuser? Can't we just once have an analogy where the mother is raping the six year old son? Dads get a bum rap....

Well, God admits that he is a jealous God (none / 0)
and that he wants us to follow only him. I think God was being very up front about that. Think about the consequences of if he wasn't jealous - with the pretexts he puts for what are at stake for us, who could he not be jealous.
