Here's some "moral sanity" we can contemplate. It's Scientology teaching us to ridicule the ten commandments. Look at that second to last paragraph. I never get tired of reading that one!
++++++++++++ SACRED CULT SCRIPTURE +++++++++++++ Look at the Ten Commandments, which are 162. You know, I'm beginning to believe the ministry can't count. I looked that up the other day, how many commandments there really were. You know, there's pages of them. And everybody keeps talking about the Ten Commandments. And some versions of the Bible have Qed-and-Aed with the fact that there are supposed to be Ten Commandments, and they dragged in Ten Commandments. And they got Ten Commandments in them. But a full Bible has just got commandments, commandments, commandments, commandments, commandments. Man, you don't know whether you're coming or going, when you finally get to the end of all these commandments - because you take any group of five, and at least two contradict. Confusing, man. These are all solutions. The only thing they've listed is solutions. And that's why you don't like moral codes. Because moral codes are solutions to problems which aren't announced. And you can therefore define a moral code, technically. A moral code is a series of solutions to problems which have not been confronted or analyzed. And you get upset about moral codes. "Thou shalt not drink pitchers of milk after three P.M. before thy parents," or something like this. Do you realize that almost all of those commandments which are in the Bible at this particular time, that we call the Ten Commandments, are prompted by some obsessive crimes that existed at that state of the game, and that several of these commandments are solutions to venereal disease? Isn't that interesting? I think it's fascinating. I see those archbishops now, standing up there with the little choirboys all singing and the harps drumming or whatever they do, and swinging incense burners around their head like slingshots, and going through it all, and everybody dropping nickels on the drums and so forth because they're solving venereal disease. I think that's terribly interesting. Why didn't they invent penicillin? Look what we would have been spared, man. I've actually managed to shock even you a little bit. Look them over. Look them over. You think I'm kidding you. The next time you run into a copy of this thing, read them over and find out how many of them are solutions to venereal disease. -- L.
