Unless it's Mary or a Saint and there's money to be made.
Quote:
You shall not make for yourself any carved image, or any likeness of anything that is in heaven above, or that is in the earth beneath, or that is in the water under the earth; you shall not bow down to them nor serve them. For I, the Lord your God, am a jealous God, visiting the iniquity of the fathers on the children to the third and fourth generations of those who hate me, but showing mercy to thousands, to those who love Me and keep My commandments.

Unless it's in a church and there's money to be made.
Quote:
Remember the Sabbath day, to keep it holy. Six days you shall labor and do all your work, but the seventh day is the Sabbath of the Lord your God. In it you shall do no work: you, nor your son, nor your daughter, nor your manservant, nor your maidservant, nor your cattle, nor your stranger who is within your gates. For in six days the Lord made the heavens and the earth, the sea, and all that is in them, and rested the seventh day. Therefore the Lord blessed the Sabbath day and hallowed it.

Unless it's run by the church and you're selling tickets for it.

Honor your father and your mother, that your days may be long upon the land which the Lord your God is giving you.

Not a very important one, so they never bothered with keeping that one. :1orglaugh
If you look closely at the Christian religion you see they couldn't even stick to their own 10 commandments. |
