re: #133 recusancy

I say we use the 8 buddhist precepts instead of the 10 commandments.

Well there are 10 Buddhist Precepts too, and I could not live with at least 3 of them and one is illegal I think as far as kids are concerned. A list:

I undertake to observe the precept to abstain from …
1….harming living beings. — OK
2….taking things not freely given. — OK
3….sexual misconduct. — Ok, but needs defined
4….false speech. — Ok
5….intoxicating drinks and drugs causing heedlessness. —No way I need me beer/wine/whiskey from time to time.
6….taking untimely meals. — Ok
7….dancing, singing, music and watching grotesque mime. — Where is the fun in this are they Baptist?
8….use of garlands, perfumes and personal adornment. — Ok, hell I’m a guy
9….use of high seats. — Very convenient for kids (joke)
10….accepting gold or silver.
