1. I am the Lord thy God, which have brought thee out of the land of Egypt, out of the house of bondage. Thou shalt have no other gods before me.

2. Thou shalt not take the name of the Lord thy God in vain.

3. Thou shalt not make unto thee any graven 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. Thou shalt not bow down thyself to them, nor serve them.

4. Remember the sabbath day, to keep it holy.

5. Honor thy father and thy mother: that thy days may be long.

6. Thou shalt not kill.

7. Thou shalt not commit adultery.

8. Thou shalt not steal.

9. Thou shalt not bear false witness against thy neighbor.

10. Thou shalt not covet thy neighbor's house, thou shalt not covet thy neighbor's wife, nor his manservant, nor his maidservant, nor his ox, nor his ass, nor anything that is thy neighbor's.

Funny thing about this. I had a dream that Chris asked me what the 8th commandment of the ten commandments was last week. In my dream I had said thou shalt not covet thy neighbor's wife, he said no, that's wrong that's number 6. Needless to say I woke that morning curious and wen t and checked it out.

I wish I was raised religious. I get the gist of the whole thing, but I'd never know the commandments in order, if all of them at all. I was hoping to raise my kids in a religious manner, but I don't see them taking it seriously just yet. Maybe Dom and Caitlyn, but we never have Caitlyn on the weekends.

I would love to have caitlyn have faith in SOMETHING. Shelly doesnt want us to ever have religion be part of her life even though Caitlyn asks. Its kinda sad.
I have to get Dom enrolled in religion classes, so I either have to use one of the local churches or get my ass to ravena... pronto.

The problem I have with most religions is that they work off of fear. Don't do that or you will go to hell! Don't think this or you will go to hell! If you want me to love you give me lot's of money!

That's a pretty superficial way to look at it, but I'm not saying your points are wrong. There's a lot of guidance in the bible besides that stuff. I've only read the first four books, so I'm far from an expert.

I have sat through multiple religious services from different faiths and they all have the same message. That is probably why I have taken to the Satanism. The modern day Church of Satan is not about being evil. It is ok to do something that makes you feel good as long as it does not hurt someone else in the process. I will not follow any relgion completely, but I can relate to satanism more than any other religion. I have been open to other religions in the past. I went to Catholic services, I went to Lutheran sevices, I went to Prodestant services. None of them gave me anything that I would want for myself. My ex is Lutheran and she want our children raised with a Lutheran faith. We agreed a long time ago that I would not stop that, as long as she understood that I would be telling them my beliefs as they grew older. My girlfriend want's our child to be to be raised Catholic (more for her family than herself). I will not get in the way of it. I was there for the batism of my 1st two children and I will be there for the batism of this next child. Other than that I will assist in any religious issues. If the girls are to go to church on Sunday's that is the responsibility of my ex for our children and my girlfriend for our child. My girlfriend understands this, and she has no intention of trying to change me. I will never tell someone that they can not have a faith in religion. I will offer my viewpoints if they are interested, and I will listen to thier viewpoints. I will not force my beliefs onto someone and in return I do not want someone else to force thier beliefs onto me.
