		<description>&quot;this article is bullshit! nonsense&quot; 
 
--&gt; These kinds of comments are actually welcomed... As long as you have a good argument to back you up, and cite valid sources for it. Otherwise, you&#039;re just an uninteresting, stupid troll, and we&#039;ll be skewering your ass right before handing it back to ya. </description>

		<description>The fable of the &quot;ten commandments&quot; and the &quot;ten commandments&quot; themselves are poor, third hand rewrites of an earlier story and rules.  They were not anything original, merely local versions of rules that travelled with traders. 
 
The old testament dates back roughly 2500 years ago (not the 3500 that the religious will claim), while the Code Of Hammurabi dates back roughly 3800 years.  Sumeria and Palestine are only 800 kilometres apart, and both were stops along the Silk Road from India and China to Europe (2000-2400 years ago).  It should not surprise that history and fiction in one place travels and becomes entire fiction in another (see: the Indian name Krishna, warped into &quot;kristos&quot;).  Other kingdoms of that region also had similar legal codes based on Hammurabi&#039;s. 
 
As for the fable, in Sumeria, Hammurabi climbed a local mountain.  The Sumerian &quot;god&quot; Marduk allegedly shone light from the sky, burning the code into stone, almost like a laser.  Wow, that sounds nothing like the fiction of the buybull does it?  (It&#039;s called the buybull because one must buy the bull**** to believe it.)

		<description>wow, i never thought that some commandments in the ten commandment  are wrong because the normies said so. Because of this many died for their ideas and beliefs and i wish that they make rules concerning the lives of the people rather than praising their deity. </description>

		<description>I admire the pursuit for the WHY. In the Bible when Moses asked God what His His name was we get an interesting answer, &quot;I am who I am.&quot; 
 
What&#039;s my point? God&#039;s name is who He is. This means that when believers try to understand God, they stop and look at what He has done, what He has said and Why he has done and said those things. 
 
It&#039;s really complex but we get a glimpse that when believers speak of the Who, they also include the What and the Why. </description>
