Dance jeffy, dance. Man, you worked hard to avoid answering that question

Which laws are they in jeffy?

Using just the Ten Sound bites and not the real languge of the 10 which
tends to be wordy and long and different than the sound bites we are used
to. Which laws in this country will you find any of the following


You shall have no other gods before me
You shall have no other gods before me
You shall not make for yourself an idol
You shall not make wrongful use of the name of your God
Remember the Sabbath and keep it holy
Honor your Father and Mother
You shall not bear false witness against your neighbor
You shall not covet your neighbor's wife. house, property etc

respecting an establishment of religion" by syllogistic reasoning. Words
take their meaning from social as well as textual contexts, which is why "a

That philosophy 'snipit' helped to get me, and my crew, through a good
many combat missions and far too many scary, inflight, emergencies.

It has also played a significant role in helping me to expose the
plethora of radical Christian propaganda and lies that we find at
almost every media turn.
