Commandment Question

They tell us that in the bible, it says God gave us free will, but then we have the 10 Commandments, which are rules we’re supposed to follow. 

Um….WHAT?

Why are we given free will if we can’t really USE it fully? I just don’t get that part of it. And another commandment question is that there’s a commandment that tells us to honor thy father and mother. How dare God say that when he sent his SON TO DIE!

God doesn’t deserve “honor”, nor does he deserve “respect” from Jesus.

Doesn’t make any sense to me, and yet people fail to be able to see the logic. They say people have trouble seeing the blurred line between fantasy and reality when they read “Harry Potter”. I think the same can be said about the bible.

Haggling

So, I went to dinner at Original Joes last night, and at the end of the meal, they bring a receipt. The receipt tells you how much everything you ordered is going to cost you, and you have to slip your card into the little black book with the receipt, so they can charge your card and make sure you have the money to pay for it. Basically, in logic terms, they are asking you if you are willing to pay 45 dollars for the meal you just ate. So next time I eat out, and they say, “Your meal costs 45 dollars”, I’m going to retort with, “I don’t like that number, let’s say 43.” I’m going to haggle with them to get the cost down.

It’s also the idea of, what’re they gonna do? Throw you out? Ya already ate! 

“Sir, we’d like our meal back if you don’t pay.”

“You’d have to wait about 3 days. In fact, I’ll doggy bag it for you, leave it on your porch, and I’ll even set it on fire, ya know, to COOK it. You can put it out with your foot.”

Restaurants seriously need to reconsider their payment issues. Otherwise, how will I ever learn to be a hobo and dine and dash?
