So it is clear that there is no such thing as a rock solid religious moral code. The code advertised in this forum is flexible because among many other things there are three versions of it. Just as an example, one version has conveniently left out the following commandment, which is present in the other two:
"Thou shalt not make unto thee any graven image, or any likeness of any thing that is in heaven above, or that is in the earth beneath, or that is in the water under the earth" Self-righteousness, intolerance and lack of any rational moral basis of some of the statements contained in the flexible code have already been demonstrated in this forum. Immorality of the malleable code stems from the prescription of death penalty for any violation of its assertions. For example, death is prescribed for failure to keep the sabbath. The following question has not been answered: 1. What personal or public consequence awaits thou if thou "make unto thee any graven image, or any likeness of any thing that is in heaven above, or that is in the earth beneath, or that is in the water under the earth"? Also, the following questions need to be answered: 2. Which version of the flexible code provides the above commandment, and the associated public or private consequence for violating it? 3. Which modern revised version of the ancient religious text, if any, has abolished the death penalty for violating the flexible code?
