Lame…
Ah, ARE these written in stone, or WERE these written in stone? Seems to be Lame and a Fail…
Well, he’s holding them in his hand, as he speaks, so…
I’m thinking of THE commandments in a more general sense, not just a movie prop.
You don’t make any sense.
This pic doesn’t make sense. It doesn’t make sense why it doesn’t make sense to you. The interwebs often do not make sense. Get it?

1.) The ten commandments don’t exist in their original form, so no they aren’t written in stone.
2.) I’m willing to bet that Heston’s movie props are not made of stone either.
3.) Religion is ultimately relative.

Fail, Fail, Fail.
See the pointy thing coming off of the rounded rectangle? That designates a speech bubble and indicates dialogue as opposed to a caption which merely provides commentary on the picture. Therefore Heston’s character (Moses) is stating that the commandments are written in stone in the context of the story (which they are). So the materials of the props and whether or not the stone tablets still exist (if they ever existed in the first place) are irrelevant for the purposes of this LOL and you are a babbling fool troll.
Amen!
Can I get a hallelujah?
Are we at the point yet where we’re down to nits too fine to pick? I submit that something written in stone would use many stones arranged to spell a word: like ‘help’ on a beach. I would prefer that the commandments be referred to as carved in stone.
As for the relevance of the ten commandments that’s easy:
if you live an old testament life they still apply.
if you live a new testament life they do not apply – except as history.
New laws usually replace old laws. In pre-christian times/cultures a thief would have his hand chopped off. Todays thieves get bailouts, bonuses, or golden parachutes.
I guess I’m having a willful suspension of disbelief fail. I generally like to look at the larger picture.
I’m sure you’re at least vaguely aware that this LOL may have a significance outside of cinema, no?
It’s a LOL.
It’s not the meaning of life.
Just a LOL.
Religion is relative?! Maybe on your planet!
Yeah, I don’ think I could count the number of “absolute truthS” out there.
indeed
Completely lame. Especially since everything from the bible is fiction anyways…
poor guy. even making snide remarks about the Bible isn’t getting you any attention? awwwwwwww…………..
Pathetic scumbag. The bible is nothing but a sack of crap someone wrote trying to show people a way of life. Then it became old, people forgot who wrote it, and *POOF* its magical and mystical and crated by ‘god’.
.
.
Religion is a fictional product of human beings fear of death.
Why, would you say, DRH is a pathetic scumbag?
Hey! Pastafarianism is most definitely not fiction! Neither are the Invisible, Pink Unicorns.
I wasn’t looking for attention you ass.
yet you replied to his comment anyways.
the fact of the matter is, making a snarky comment about ANY religion will start a debate, and most likely a nasty one. so if you don’t want that, it’s usually better just to keep it to yourself.
just my thoughts.
And now I’m reminded of a very, very old “Frank and Ernest” comic strip that portrayed Moses standing over the shatters of the Ten Commandments while God complains “‘Oops’? You just broke all Ten Commandments at once and all you have to say is ‘Oops’?”
(Speaking of the Commandments, everyone should go to YouTube and look up George Carlin’s opinion of them. ^n_n^)
betcha if i broke that said stone the rules wouldn’t be written at all. Hippies
Uh… what?
…
Oh, SHUT UP.
Wow, classic and very true!
…Annnd I find it funny that naturally the trolls at the top of the page don’t agree.
This thread is strong evidence that atheist trolls are worse than fundie trols, though I’m not terribly fond of either.
humor fail
I would answer AMEN to this caption!
HHmm, Fail.
Let alone stone I think the acting is wooden!
I think the “stone” commandments are made out of rubber. If you think about it-that makes sense. They are both used in places they shouldn’t be and will last about fifty billion years, for no real reason.
What?
hahaaha:’D
One of the wittier ones I’ve seen here lately. Shame that it seems to have gone over the heads of quite a few. Might I suggest reusing the same horrendously ineffective Jonas Brothers caption next time? That’s bound to be more their speed.
They look like they’re written in a mixture of Japanese, Greek and Tolkeinian and Nordic runes.
I was noticing the same thing…..interesting I got this far down the page before anyone noticed. Too busy trolling I guess. Sad that the powers of observation are less important than the powers of useless argument.
I think it’s supposed to be pre-Aramaic Hebrew script (Paleo-Hebrew). Fairly accurate, too, based on the very little I know about Paleo-Hebrew.
get your stinkin’ hands off my commandments, you damn dirty apes!
Okay, now THAT was funny!
hoohoohoo…hehehe..hahaha…
Note to atheists: can you supply something BETTER to believe?
“Act reasonably at all times with compassion towards others and wise judgment in all things.”
BAM! One commandment, no way to use it to justify hatred, bigotry or violence and it encompasses all of what a person should be and do.
How about if we always act in such a way so as the maxim by which we act should become a universal law and we never treat a person solely as a means too?
I don’t understand the question. You’re so desperate to believe something you can’t see for yourself that you’ll believe fairytales about a megalomaniacal invisible man, and worship him every Sunday?
It’s refreshing to see such objectivity and clear, reasoned arguments on the internets.
Not to mention calm.
Not to mention spelling and grammar….
irony much rawrrorist? and you believe in yourself not some made up being.
Yes. Yourself.
You are so right on this one. Ya know, people would be lost with out religion. They just have to have something to believe in.
Don’t believe things, understand them.
Darwinism

FARCK THIS, I’LL BE A MALE STRIPPER
It’s amazing to think that there is always one insignificant, small minded jackass that can turn ANYTHING into a fight against religion. Time get over it? Give it a rest? I don’t understand, no one cares about your views about religion here. The graphs made are purely for satirical purposes and hilarity. Just have a laugh and move on.
If only there were just one.
Ummmm…how about we move to talk about Charleton Heston?
Somewhat amusing (but more sad) that anyone would take the original caption to be promoting religion as opposed to simply a clever play on words.
The person who created this caption could be an extreme atheist or a devout believer. Irrelevant, as the caption is still funny.
Actually I’m neither. But I’ll be showing it around at my family’s Pesach seder on Thursday night.
I’m afraid that either this doesn’t make sense at all or I’m missing something. I suspect the latter. Anybody care to enlighten me?
I guess “written in stone” has two meanings, and Charlton here refers to first
shouldn’t they be written in Aramaic?
I know the New Testament was largely Aramaic but was the old Testament Aramaic or Hebrew (or something else altogether)?
Moses is credited with writing the first 5 books of the Bible, the Penteteuch, probably originally in old Hebrew.
The Hebrew Bible was written almost entirely in Hebrew, using either Paleo-Hebrew script or Aramaic script (the Hebrew letters we use today). Parts of the book of Daniel are in true Aramaic.
If you want to get Biblically technical…..”THE LAW” was written ON stone tablets–TWICE! Because Moses got angry the first time and threw them at someone, and they broke into pieces.
To get really technical, the second set of commandments wasn’t the same as the first.
Moses broke the first set of stone tablets because the people turned to idolatry while he was on the mountain talking to Jehovah.
That’s right. =)
They’re written in STONE, so don’t work on Sundays or your neighbors will STONE YOU!
Ahhh…got morality ALLLLLLL wrapped up!
Personally, I am not religious. One thing I cannot prove is the existance of God, but if anyone CAN give CONCRETE evidence, bearing in mind I study Psychology to a high degree of imagination, emotion, suggestion, learning and belief, then I will invite religion into my wisdom (but not necessarily make it part of my life).
Science is WILLING to step back if and/or when PROVEN wrong. However, the world has yet to truly give objective evidence for God’s existance. Psychology, on the other hand, is an area of science (sometimes ‘soft science’) which gives you the power to believe in whatever you want without having to agree with (and therefore contradict) the objective evidence. Well.. the Psychology I study anyway (Illusion, knowledge structure, linguistics, NLP, hypnotism, etc).
So even if you WERE to prove to me that God exists objectively, I will still refuse to believe in God. This is because I as a human being have the power to believe in whatever I want to believe. And I would personally believe in something much more amazing than a God who puts conditions on any kind of love given – I believe in UNCONDITIONAL love, something more powerful than religion ever could be.
EVERYONE SHUT THE FUC K UP.
Thank you, please drive through.
These fifteen… {crunch} …these Ten Commandments!
(um, i suck at links, i guess. but it’s meant to be the Mel Brooks one on the left there, not the big one.)
History of the World Win!
Wasn’t that SNL? I recall Phil Heartman in that role for that joke.
Mel Brooks, History of the World Part 1. SNL might have ganked it from Mel Brooks, or vice-versa, but since I never saw it on SNL, I can’t say for certain.
Written in stone *and* backed up by Smith and Wesson!
hee hee hee
Are you people all so humorless that you can’t recognize the idiom this LOL is referencing?
Google “written in stone” (with quotation marks).
1,830,000 matches.
HA! Faaaaaaabulous! =)
“From my cooollld deeeaaad HAAAAND!”
Okay if you insist. *yoink*
I, for one, like this LOL. And I agree, the Ten Commandments were, indeed written in stone.
Second, there’s no way to tell if they still exist in their original form, for they were placed in the Arc of the Covenant, which has been lost. Lost meaning we don’t know where it is, not that it has neccessarily been destroyed.
Anyway, I think this is awesome and very clever. Thanks for putting it up, even if you did have to take a lot of heat from people so insecure that they feel the need to pound on your beliefs.
Win, win, win.
I agree with you Violet.
I know this thread is old, and no one will probably ever read this… but c’mon people, no one is trying to force religion on you. It’s just a picture with a cap.
If you think it’s funny, then laugh, if you think it’s not funny, then complain.
But some of us are believers in God and we enjoy a nifty little caption that is humorous, yet reverent, and does not mock God or our faith.
I have nothing against any of you posters who are athiest, agnostic, wiccan, muslim, against orgainized religions, don’t believe in a single supreme deity, etc. but this pic/cap is not preaching “hell fire and brimstone” to you.
It doesn’t appear that it was posted to offend any group of non believers. Why can’t you let us enjoy it without bashing us?
You go, girl. =)
not funny
It always struck me as funny that a god (who is supposedly omnipotent) gives his chosen people a bunch of stone slabs to carry around on their long and hazardous journey. Instead of, uh, papyrus or something similarly awesome.
I mean, come on, you can do anything – why stone of all things?
