I'm glad you have no say.Because you are spouting CHRISTIAN dogma.I myself am a pagan.What if I wanted to teach that in schools?What an uproar there would be, and rightly so.Your relationship or lack of relationship with a god or gods is a personal thing,and you cannot use brainwashing to define it.You are the false teacher and false prophet.Still spamming away.Why don't you go to a religious forum, when clearly you are only here to browbeat us for not interpreting religion your way?Proselytizer.

Commandment number ONE
Thou shalt not make unto thee any graven image, or any likeness of any thing that is in heaven above, or that is in the earth beneath, or that is in the water under the earth.
What this means is that image of Moses above is a graven image. It is a likeness of a thing that is on the earth. The person who made it and all who gaze upon it are cast into hell.
Wow I'm so glad I don't believe in fairy tales. I guess I'm safe.

Actually... I LOVED IT when my kids hit the world religions portion of their social sciences in junior high school. We all learned quite a bit. Unfortunately, due to time (and budget) constraints it's limited to the textbook which only hits the world's major religions. But, I think it would be great if we could incorporate something along the lines of a theology class, but that taught about many religions, such as paganism and Wicca, Zoroastrianism, and so on.
However, school is not the place to PRACTICE religion in any way guided by staff. Allow students, yes, but directed or guided by staff, absolutely not.

Questions: Why do you think God flooded the earth in the times of Noah?
Why do you think God gave Moses the Ten Commandments?
What do you think civilization have laws?
What would you do if you had all the weed and food and women you ever could think of at you beckon and call?
My question do you really have the self discipline to be absolutely free and without the abuse of those freedoms? Then you are righteous.
However many don't have this inner ability of self discipline, thus external boundaries are necessary in order to hopefully lead lawless individuals into a more civil way of conducting themselves; once you righteous self discipline in the face of abundance and liberty, then you have been made whole.
Though some have achieved and some are achieving many have yet to realize the need for it and thus fall short or in error of their true destinies in life on earth and ever after.

I am 30 years old and I personally wasn't taught world religon in middle school, and I believe it would have done great good as far as inoculation and integration goes. But I was able to experience it being taught in a junior high school that I workd at in the early 2000's; this is where I feel in love with the idea; if tuaght with empathy and fairness its great for the world and this melting pot called the United States of America.
Non-the-less, this is not about religon as much as fundamental and healthy rules for self discipline and prosperity if you remain faithful to them as you accumalate consistent knowledges: math and science and technology and philoslphy, etc.
I think its what fundamentally missing, even if the teachers never taught on it but exemplified it with their own conduct, as in lead with it by example is a great thing; just posted it and interpret it in conduct

It seems to me your interpretation was designed to confuse.
Don't be so caught up in the stone tablet as much as te message; that's a lesson from Christ too, its the testimony and the obedient sacrifice moreso than the flesh; the material things will be consumed by the fire; but the soul willive forever, either in heaen or in eternal hell.

What if the Spirit of God was witin the love of your life? Would you be more faithful than you obviously have thus far?
What if this love of your life decided tha they wuld reveal their love for you only as you proved your faithfulness to them?
Would you be so quick to condemn what you truly don't fully know?
Maybe you are failing the test of faithfulness; surely you don't know everything, do you? If so, you will never know any more, how unfortunate for you, to me.
I have seen, so you are wrong; I am sure many have seen and testified, but many will never see, because that is their nature and their destiny, how unfortunate. I think in your case, it is a matter of real faithfulness or should I say the lack there of.

I would like to know why god requires so much cash. I mean 10% of everybody's cash is a lot of money. Is there somewhere to spend money in heaven?

Religion in purity is moral standards, this can be translated into self discipline and self respect because both religon and laws are a type of discipline wouldn't you say?
So, in your case, if you agree what I have said, what is your mind state without religion or moral standard or self discipline? Are you an abuser, an addict?
Are you rationally meeting priorities in your life; establishing greater and greater order for your self and your responsibilities?

10% is a minimum; I am aware that this is what the temple leaders ask for in the form of tithing. This is obviously for the building of the kingdom on earth, as in Heaven on earth.
Feel free to sow as much as you believe you are led to give; You ought to sow your tithes in the order of your blessing, so where ever you believe you are being blessed, you are to sow there, in faith that the leader will feel theirs and your relative calling of building heaven on earth or as the Holy Spirit leads them, to the glory of the Most High God.

I thought the Ten Commandments pre-dated Christ by a couple of thousand years, at least.
If you examine the world's religions with an eye to consistency, most of them seem to teach the same things. I look at religion differently than a lot of people, though, having studied Campbell and Jung.

****************************************************************I have a friend, a chem professor and researcher who asks the same thing. Then he found this quote from David Attenborough. Very poignant, and gives some food for thought in my opinion (however, I agree with Joseph Campbell that there is a utility in religion).
Sir David Attenborough,
"My response is that when Creationists talk about God creating every individual species as a separate act, they always instance hummingbirds, or orchids, sunflowers and beautiful things. But I tend to think instead of a parasitic worm that is boring through the eye of a boy sitting on the bank of a river in West Africa, [a worm] that's going to make him blind. And [I ask them], 'Are you telling me that the God you believe in, who you also say is an all-merciful God, who cares for each one of us individually, are you saying that God created this worm that can live in no other way than in an innocent child's eyeball? Because that doesn't seem to me to coincide with a God who's full of mercy'"
People pretend to have some knowledge, based on their own epiphanatic events. These events can be stimulated by strong magnets. Are magnets God?
The more we know, the more we DON'T.
In your last statement, are you saying "ignorance is bliss"; is that a preFall form grace/Eden or after?
I have compassion for the child that you chose; by the good grace and mercy that God shows me; I intend to help as many such children as possible with the mind and the body and theheart and the strength and time and whatever esources He gives me, according to His perfect will.
God bless the least among us that the greater amoing us may cme to His will for them, as we are individually led.
