Why Not Eleven Commandments?

Would it have been so difficult for Yahweh to have squeezed an 11th commandment onto those tablets? He's omnipotent, right? Did He have a decimal or even-number compulsion or something? "Thou shalt not enslave" would have been a good one -- not to mention truly pathbreaking. Slavery, after all, has existed throughout history and still does exist in Africa and the Middle East. It was in the modern West that abolitionism arose and achieved its goal.  

The only reference to slavery in the Decalogue is in the 10th commandment, where we're ordered not to covet our neighbor's stuff, including his servants. In other words, if you want slaves, go get your own! Don't even yearn for your neighbor's!

If it had to be 10, Yahweh could have eliminated one of the existing commands, such as the prohibition against taking His name in vain (whatever that means) or the order not to work on Saturday. (What if you enjoy working?) We could have managed without those, considering that the cost of them is the absence of a prohibition on slavery. 

And, yeah, this is the same Yahweh who won't let his favorite Children of Israel forget that he freed them from bondage in Egypt.

The Impossibility of Illogical Thought

Thought can never be of anything illogical, since, if it were, we should have to think illogically. It used to be said that God could create anything except what would be contrary to the laws of logic. The truth is that we could not say what an 'illogical' world would look like. It is as impossible to represent in language anything that 'contradicts logic' as it is in geometry to represent by its a coordinates a figure that contradicts the laws of space, or to give the coordinates of a point that does not exist.... In a certain sense, we cannot make mistakes in logic.... Self-evidence, which [Bertrand] Russell talked about so much, can be dispensable in logic, only because language itself prevents every logical mistake.--What makes logic a priori is the impossibility of illogical thought. --Ludwig Wittgenstein, Tractatus Logico-Philosophicus   3.03, 3.031, 3.032, 5.473, 5.4731 (H/T: Roderick T. Long )

Is He Having a Laugh?

According to the Hebrew Bible and New Testament, the government is God's appointed agent on earth, and each of us owes it allegiance and obedience. If that's so--and I for one don't believe either part of that statement--I'd like some believer to explain what God had in mind when he arranged things so that one of the two major-party clowns running for president will be elected in November. Is He having a laugh?

Happy Passover, 2024

In an earlier incarnation many, many years ago, I would be getting ready to celebrate Passover . This is the holiday that commemorates Yahweh's liberation of the children of Israel from enslavement in Egypt (long before the Arabs got there). Yahweh did this, according to the Good Book, by inflicting collective punishments on the Egyptian people -- ranging from turning the Nile River and other water sources into blood, to sending swarms of frogs, gnats, flies, and locusts throughout the land, to killing all first-born persons and cattle, even those of slaves (non-Israelites, presumably) -- 10 "plagues" in all. As unjust as that collective punishment seems, it was Yahweh's response to the recalcitrance of Egypt's absolute ruler, the Pharaoh. According to the story, he repeatedly changed his mind about "letting [the Israelite] people go" after promising Moses he would do so. That's why Egypt, that is, all Egyptians, kept getting hit with plagues.  Howe...
