I never knew a religious rule that didn’t get blurred over time. YRMV.
It’s going to be hilarious when all those evangelicals show up in hell, confused. they will find out too late that theyve been chronically flouting god’s 10th commandment.
Jesus, what the—are you kiddi—seriously? God’s chosen tongue was the latter-day linguistic mutt known as English? How daft do you have to be to believe this?
Daft enough to vote for Trump!
Wouldn’t it be a gas if Generalissimo Trump bid on this, won, and then hung it in the Oval Office?
He’d be throwing darts at it by Groundhog Day.
It doesn’t have enough gold leaf on it for him to be interested.
Oh, he’d fix that but quick.

You’ve never run into someone who think the King James version is the literal words of Christ?
If I do, I’ll say ‘Blessings be upon you’ in Aramaic.
Once you drink the Magical Sky Man kool-aid, anything is possible, and nothing needs to be rational. So why not believe that the KJV translators were acting under divine inspiration, making the KJV the true word of god? It’s hardly the craziest thing they believe - see Holy Ghost, (boo!) or transubstantiation.
I prefer the updated version.
It’s cheesy, but the Golden Rule really is all one needs.
Unfortunately “treat others the way you would like to be treated” is still problematic in a world that includes masochists.
I knew someone would point that out.
If the only people we had to worry about treating people shitty were masochist, we would be in Nirvana.
And we could make a deal with them that if they wear the universal masochists symbol, everyone agrees to treat them like shit if they treat us nicely.
Of course there’s also the “if I were some kind of godless heathen/idolator/socialist/sodomite I’d sure hope that someone would intervene to save me from the fires of hell…” crowd. It’s always the little details that get you.
Is it autographed?
“Treat others the way they would like to be treated.”
Ooh, yoink.
Within reason; exactly.
