Which are the real 10 commandments?

-

Christians don't even understand their own religion. Do you remember the story of Moses and the 10 commandments?What are the 10 commandments/ they are the commandments that were given to Moses By Yahweh, written on stone tablets. Exodus 20 talks about these 10 commandments that were NOT WRITTEN ON STONE.

1. You shall not have other gods before me.
2. You shall not make idols.
3. You shall not take the name of the Lord your God in vain.
4. Remember the sabbath day to keep it holy.
5. Honor your father and your mother.
6. You shall not murder.
7. You shall not commit adultery.
8. You shall not steal.
9. Thou shalt not bear false witness.
10. Thy shalt not covet thy neighbor's house, wife or possessions.

Notice the 10th verse, where the wife is categorized in the same space as property. Also note that "Do not rape"has not been included. Yahweh is not so concerned about the welfare of the woman, as usual.That aside, the above commandments were merely narrated to Moses by God, given orally to him.

Moses went up the mountain for 40 days, and god wrote the 10 commandments on the stone tablets. Upon descending from the mountain, he finds the Israelites worshiping a molten calf. He breaks the stone tablets out of anger and orders a killing spree based on loyalty to Yahweh, a very flimsy reason to commit a genocide. We don't get to know what was written on the tablets. Later on Moses goes up to have the same commandments written on new stone tablets. Here are the 10 commandments that were written.

1. Thou shalt worship no other god.
2. Thou shalt make thee no molten images.
3. Keep the feast of the unleavened bread.
4. The first born male ox or sheep belong to Yahweh.
5. Work 6 days and rest on the seventh.
6. Thou shalt observe the festival of weeks.
7.Thrice a year all men shall appear before Yahweh.
8. Do not use leaven when sacrifice to Yahweh
9. The first fruits you bear belong to YAHWEH.
10. Thou shalt not boil a baby goat in its' mothers milk.

These words were the 10 commandments written in stone!!

Cesare Borgia was one of the illegitimate sons of a pope called Alexander V1,he was trained in the church and eventually became the archbishop in his teenage years. He was a tyrannical man. Valiant, fearless and merciless, he ruled with a heavy hand. He was the modern day slay king, but very power hungry.  He was deceitful and very randy, sleeping with many women and engaging in shady deals. It is even suspected that he had sexual escapades with his own sister Lucrezia. He was considered the most handsome  man in Italy and he seemed to know it as he wore the most fashionable clothes.He got syphilis at a youthful age of 20 years. Borgia employed Leonardo Da Vinci as his engineer and military architect. The two had a sexual relationship and Da Vinci, having an artistic soul painted Borgia many times. His handsome face from the paintings was used for centuries as an inspiration to represent Jesus Christ. Christians worshipped and adored his image for a long time. History has re...

Why are Atheists Always So Angry?

-
   Atheists have been long been misunderstood as bitter people. People who went through bitter experiences and are now channeling their anger to "God". We have been told about our mental health being in a poor state. We have been called lost and misguided. These words are by no means polite, they are pretty much accusatory, of ignorance and weakness on our part. Strangely enough, believers don't understand why such comments would put us off. In fact, believers expect atheists to respect every bible verse that springs out of their mouth, they expect atheists to cow when they threaten them with doom, curses and hellfire, to take their words so seriously. I consider this a very poor attitude towards civility. I as an atheist, am angry, at the continuous religious indoctrination of every generation that comes forth. I am angry that I cannot openly proclaim my atheism lest people get a bad image of me, may see me as a byword, may even start alienating me. I am  angry that athe...

Kina the TV series and it's portrayal of atheism

-

   It is heartbreaking that most religious people have the idea that atheism is the symbolism of evil. Most have the tendency to think that atheist minds are under the influence of the lord of the underworld, namely , 'Satan'. It is expected that a non believer of religion  has no conscience to steer him or her away from evil, and that the ability to do good comes from a god. This is quite wrong since we all know that animals such as dogs and elephants have demonstrated acts of kindness despite them not being followers of any religion. That aside, I got a few chances to watch Kina the Kenyan TV series and wasn't much shocked to find out that Nana, the villain in the story is an atheist. In one of the episodes, she opens up about not believing in God. This is quite good evidence that atheism is equated to evil here in Kenya. Believers are likely to label you as a Satan adherent if they find out you are an atheist, despite atheists not believing in the biblical...
