They need to argue that those aren't the ten commandments anyway. There is only one passage in the Bible where a group of ten laws are called that and it isn't the one people usually think of, it's much weirder. The chapter is Exodus 34:
So that's what should be on school walls. Don't use yeast in a blood sacrifice, don't make metal idols and that goat thing.
(I have no idea why the weird goat part is on its own line, but it is.)
He sounds like such an insecure deranged dickwad
These days we think of sacrifices as things like human sacrifice. But, I would bet that at the time the sacrifices were often more like a day of the dead "Ofrenda".
There it is folks, that's the official name of the Abrahamic god.
I dunno...I kinda want to cook a young goat in it's mother's milk now. I bet it tastes great.
Serve it with a side of jelly beans (raw)
I feel like that argument is pretty well covered:
Why does this sound like a Monty Python skit?
Or a Mel Brooks film.
All this time they just needed 3d printers or CNC machines to make idols.
Or they could carve them, like they did before metal casting was invented.
I think the current recipe for idols is reality TV and orange paint
Listen, I've got a yeast allergy thing okay...
Maybe Jehovah self diagnosed a gluten allergy and blamed it on the yeast by mistake.
