Off-topic discussion. Wanna talk about corsets, duct tape, or physics? This is the place. Detailed discussion of any current-season TV must be whitefonted.
Dude, doesn't that make it not just a trick question but a trick commandment if nobody can avoid breaking it?
Well, that's the quiz writers interpretation. They're just trying to make the point that everyone is a sinner, but they're just doing it in a silly way that makes them look stupid.
I think being a Christian is supposed to help, but I didn't read the whole thing so I'm not sure.
Not so much. Apparently things like going to church and reading the Bible regularly are nice enough and all, but essentially meaningless in the face of such hellworthy sins as having uttered the occasional "Oh, Lord!" or stolen a paperclip from work.
That whole thing would make my head explode, except that then I think about all the other stuff in this guy's Ultimate Guide To Life -- all that business about judging not lest ye be judged, being forgiven exactly just so much as you're willing to forgive others, caring for the least and poorest and worst among us, and tending to your own salvation and keeping your nose out of other people's business, and I feel fairly certain that when this guy dies Jesus is gonna be all "What. Ev." and t rolls eyes FOREVAH at him.
Gud, you forgot hateful and judgmental.

None of which are sins.
I think.
It says that everyone has broken the 1st Commandment, so if you say you haven't then you're braking the 9th Commandment.
Boy there's just no winning with this God. Damned if you do, damned if you don't.
There's this whole nasty little sub-philosophy amongst some fundies and some evangelicals that equates holding anything important with idolatry.
So, a whole culture of people who never get to meetings on time? When I'm a god, Thou shalt not fuck around with other people's time will be a commandment.
Right before If thou art a drycleaner, thou shalt never charge more than $5 for cleaning a single winter coat.
Perhaps I am a bit of a micro-manager. But, I'm told a lot of people like that in a god.

Oh, I was taught in confirmation class (junior high school age) that you broke the 1st if you spent any time not thinking about God.
So by being a Pagan and admitting to having other gods before Him, I'm actually coming out ahead because at least I was honest about it? Score!

Wow, what a perfect recipe for creepy obsessive-compulsive guilt-ridden craziness. I'm now incredibly grateful that my own CCD teachers were just inept, not actively malign.

It could work, but you'd need more than two tablets for all the commandments.
I think the Church of DX (reformed) commandment list would start off with thou shalt learn to count. The only reason I mention it is that Incompetent Sales Manager sent Prospective Customer Guy an email saying that I would forward PCG the product specs for "approximately 300 products." The list of products ISM sent to me to prepare specs for had 129 products, which is only "approximately 300" if your other choice is a thousand or so.
