Grew up in the Church of Jesus Christ and Latter Day Saints and Roman Catholic traditions, including a stint at a Catholic school; somewhat sadly, before the point at which young women (people - not the misogynist Mormon class) wore kilts. Attended church until a teen, but held atheist sentiments from a young age, despite being in a family full of believers. This is a place for my thoughts regarding religion on both a personal level and relating to the world, of which I am a member... And Mormons say journals are a good thing :)

Ten Commandments

I barely pass, and even that's debatable (as with the 10th)

At first I thought "Great; I don't beleive in an 'other god' because I beleive in none!" but Wikipedia states that "this commandment is to believe in the existence of God"

No issue there, since there is no heaven.

I'm so fucking gulity of that goddamn shit!

Free Image Hosting at allyoucanupload.com Remember the sabbath day and keep it holy
Today I slept in (sin of sloth), neglected to clean anything (but not working is good, right?), watched Fox shows (nothing good there) and inhaled (both a Word of Wisdom violation as well as being against the law, which Mormons (at least as of recent) see as being bad)

Who can say they've always done what their parents want, epecially with religious parents who hold certian values you disagree with?

Free Image Hosting at allyoucanupload.com Do not murder
I eat animals and use roach traps, so technically I murder; just because I've never killed a human doesn't make it permissible.

Free Image Hosting at allyoucanupload.com Do not commit adultery
Described "as sexual intercourse between a man and a married woman who is not his wife" I'm not married, so guess I'm in the clear (Even though unmarried sex is a sin, it's not a commandment) I wonder if it's okay with a woman or a woman who used to be a man since it refers to a man and woman

Free Image Hosting at allyoucanupload.com Do not steal
I plead the 5th; but I've never kidnapped anyone, which is the context of "steal" used.

Free Image Hosting at allyoucanupload.com Do not bear false witness against your neighbor
Any bad shit I've said about a neighbour has been true, and even if it wasn't, it was never in "a court of law or other proceeding"

Free Image Hosting at allyoucanupload.comDo not covet your neighbor's wife
I've oggled a neighbours girlfriend, but I don't think any of them were married.
