Actually I don't think the 10 commandments have a ban on swearing.
I hear that many Hebrew scholars have said that the original text of the third commandment better translates to "Thou shall not 'carry' thy Lord's name in vain."
It was actually saying that one shouldn't go out and commit selfish actions using God's name. Don't use God to justify your actions. Don't use God to justify war. Don't claim god is on your side in trivial matters such as "my sports team has God on their side."
Kind of interesting.
Well, saying "God damn it!" is definitely "taking God's name in vain," as most Bibles and catechisms put it. Saying "FUUUUUCK!!"? Not so much. But both are considered "swearing" or "cussing."
And the Big Ten is kind of ludicrous anyway. Killing? Stealing? Ketchup on a hot dog? Splitting face cards? Sure, burn in hell for all eternity. But "coveting" that shiny new Hummer your neighbor just bought and is sitting in his driveway? Really? Doom sentence?
Like many aspects of Christianity, the Bible being taken literally makes me laugh out loud. It was written over the course of 2,000 years by dozens of people and has in its present form been translated through at least eleven major languages. Could the original meaning of ANY of it have been preserved? No goddamn way! (oops)
Oh, and let's not forget that it used to be five times as large as it is now, until the Catholic church decreed 4/5ths of it to be "false doctrine." So they deleted the parts they didn't like, including all the terrific falafel recipes that are now lost for all eternity. And why did they do that? It was so big, it was taking far too much time and money to make copies.
