I thought all our laws were based on these 10 laws from the lawgiver, according to the stories, which commandment covers the anti gay marriage law?

Is it possibly the "No - Adultery" clause?

3. Isn't there something about eating shellfish
Edited on Wed Jun-07-06 09:37 AM by rniel
explicitly stated as a sin in the bible??

Maybe we need another constitutional amendment for that one too.

5. It's an abomination!
The same abomination that is homosexuality.

9These shall ye eat of all that are in the waters: whatsoever hath fins and scales in the waters, in the seas, and in the rivers, them shall ye eat.
10And all that have not fins and scales in the seas, and in the rivers, of all that move in the waters, and of any living thing which is in the waters, they shall be an abomination unto you:
11They shall be even an abomination unto you; ye shall not eat of their flesh, but ye shall have their carcases in abomination.
Leviticus 11:9-11 (King James Version)


Thou shalt not lie with mankind, as with womankind: it is abomination.
23Neither shalt thou lie with any beast to defile thyself therewith: neither shall any woman stand before a beast to lie down thereto: it is confusion.
Leviticus 18:21-23 (King James Version)

Apparently, in God's eyes, homosexuality is on a par with the all you can eat shrimp special at Long John Silvers. Beastiality, however, is merely a confusion.

6. Hey, it was dark in that barn and I got confused.
At least it wasn't a homosexual encounter.

7. Haven't you seen Mel Brooks' History of the World, Part 1?
Moses started out with 15 commandments, but he dropped one of the tablets on the way down the mountain. I'm sure the missing 5 commandments would have cleared this all up!

8. There's also a Saturday Night Live sketch where an actor
playing Bill Clinton negotiates with Moses to drop one commandment. And it isn't the one about lying.
