That's pretty good. lol

I would say about 50% of my church would laugh at that, 20% would sneer, and 30% would give you a blank stare unless you translated it into spanish.

And the 20% who sneered, would laugh later when no one was looking.

At the risk of sounding like a smarty-pants, I would also like to note that the decalogue is also inadequate to send a text message, or block pop-ups, or remove those unwanted nose-hairs.

Your subtle point, that the law wasn't created to do those things, is taken. And While I conceed that the decalogue wasn't intended to save, Man thought it showed the path to righteousness... and while it does point to Christ, alone it simply shows us our inadiquacy...
