Speed Bump by Dave Coverly for December 14, 2017

Besides, God is pretty bushed.

It’s pretty simple. One set of rules for me, and one set of rules for you.

This reminds me of an old joke and please forgive the stereotypes. God was looking for a chosen people.

So he went to the Spartans and said, “Would you be my chosen people?” They replied, “What do we have to do?” “Follow my commandments.” “Such as?” “Thou shalt not kill.” “We can’t do that. We are a militaristic society.”

Then God went to the Canaanites and made the same offer. When they asked for an example he said, “Thou shalt not commit adultery.” “We can’t do that. We are a fertility cult. We even have temple prostitutes.”

Then God went to the Bedouins and made the same offer. When asked for an example he said, “Thou shalt not steal.” “We can do that. We make a living by ambushing caravans.”

Finally, God found Moses and asked, “Will you accept my commandments?” Moses replied, “How much do they cost?” “They’re free.” “In that case, I’ll take 10.”

I feel like we could use A LOT more Godsplaining. A lot. Like, way more than we have so far.

If god is so smart, how come most of the commandments are redundant?

Back when hardcopy really meant hard copy.

No third tablet?
