Perhaps I am a bit of a micro-manager. But, I'm told a lot of people like that in a god.
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.
Shopping, gaming, chat rooms, cyber-dating - the internet is such an addictive and time-consuming force, who's got time to go? With the Internet Urinal, you'll never have to leave your computer again. Imagine the freedom - destroy your opponents in that all imporant Quake 3 clan match without taking a break; drink as many cans of BAWLS as you want and still be able to make that last important trade before the market closes. Each urinal is made with hard plastic and comes with a handy female adapter. Holds 32 oz. of liquid (same as a Big Gulp!).

I have to say that female adapters
are
handy.
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.
Oh, were you confirmed Catholic, Fred, or in another tradition? I don't know why, but it helps to know this might not just be a Protestant problem.
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!
Nope, sorry (I am trying to figure out how to make a nasty buzzer sound come across in letters, but Eeeeeeeeeehndt is the best I can come up with).
The point, and this is the part where I was saying I agree, is there is just the law. The commandments make up the one law. If I've broken a
part
of the law, I've broken the law. Period. That's the part I take to. There is no
good enough.
It's not about me being good enough. Alone, I can't be. That doesn't mean I am not supposed to be, but that doesn't tear down the wall I've put between myself and G-d, through complete fault of my own.
But in practice, it sometimes then all devolves into foolishness, because people try to make other people sweat whichever commandment is their pet one. Or we get the usual Roman Catholic vs. Protestant foolishness, about faith v. works, where (imo) hard-liners on both extremes miss the point, which is, real faith will cause a regeneration--a death to my life in which I was enslaved to sin, and a life in which by nature (because I'm dead to sin and alive to Christ) my works will be good. The hardliners on one side, hear salvation by faith alone, but many seem to forget about working out that salvation in fear and trembling over the course of a lifetime, and that faith without works is dead. The hardliners on the other side know that faith without works is dead, but many seem to think it is all about works, as if grace if ever something one can earn. If it is earned, it's not grace.
Sorry.

Off to pick up the rugrats, take 'em out to lunch, and conquer the Federal Government. When come back, will bring pie.
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.
Do you mean, like,
actively
thinking about God? Even when asleep? You dream of a llama on a pogo stick instead of God and you go to hell?
Because, I'm sayin', I don't even think about
porn
24/7.
And fantastic, I'm exporting a huge file and somebody came up behind me when I couldn't get my browser to minimize. Time to go to lunch, I think, and pick back up when the damn file finishes exporting.
and conquer the Federal Government. When come back, will bring pie.
Dude, they give you pie if you conquer the Federal Government? If I knew that, I'm being trying to conquer the government all the time.
Boy there's just no winning with this God. Damned if you do, damned if you don't.
Brian Of Nazareth: "There's no pleasing some people."
Ex-leper: "That's just what Jesus said, sir."
Oh, were you confirmed Catholic, Fred, or in another tradition?
Missouri Synod Lutheran, Cindy. It was a long, long time before I learned that there was a liberal tradition in Lutheranism.
Do you mean, like, actively thinking about God? Even when asleep? You dream of a llama on a pogo stick instead of God and you go to hell?
I don't remember the class going into that. It was more of a "everybody breaks the 1st" lesson.
Lucky UPS guy.
shrift worships porn. All hail the porn.
btw, shrift, how're you set for T.Rex? Do you have More Than Enough, or room for a few Lesser Known Gems ("Jewel", "Buick Mackane" "Baby Strange") in your glam mix?
I'm sorry my friends who have faith, but once again, I'm getting a top note of Religion = Freaky. But with a metallic aftertaste of Geek.
Putin's soul is in the news to distract from tapes of Bush talking about smoking the Weed
I heard the weed-smoking clip on the Daily Show last night. Um, at least he's honest about it, I guess.
Isn't the first commandment different from catholic to Protestants to jews? I know there's some wonkiness in there, somewhere.
This wasn't an ad for a fictional program, I take it?
Sadly no. But it was also a local news thing, so grain of salt it.
I'm watching the end of Season 6 of SatC. Mikhail Baryshnikov. ROWR. Doubleplusgood ROWR. And, a short man. What is coming over me?
I want to make a Rapture List of people who are kicked off my rapture list. The rapture website people would be on that list.
