The 10 Commandments of Driving

Tuesday, June 19, 2007

Thouest shall not raiseth Middle Finger . . .
The Vatican has just released a document called the Guidelines for the Pastoral Care of the Road, also known as the 10 Commandments of driving. I list for you below.

1. You shall not kill.
2. The road shall be for you a means of communion between people and not of mortal harm.
3. Courtesy, uprightness and prudence will help you deal with unforeseen events.
4. Be charitable and help your neighbor in need, especially victims of accidents.
5. Cars shall not be for you an expression of power and domination, and an occasion of sin.
6. Charitably convince the young and not so young not to drive when they are not in a fitting condition to do so.
7. Support the families of accident victims.
8. Bring guilty motorists and their victims together, at the appropriate time, so that they can undergo the liberating experience of forgiveness.
9. On the road, protect the more vulnerable party.
10. Feel responsible toward others.

They also suggest doing things like reciting the rosary while you drive. I don't know about you, but I would find that VERY distracting.

I am Malach and commandment number 11 is: Keep your windsheild clean, or the Angry Piper will clean it for you.

This is pretty lame. It's almost like one of those spam "jokes" without a punchline that your dad sends to you when he's up at 4 in the morning, already drunk, laughing as he fills your inbox with stuff you're just going to delete, despite you repeatedly telling him that you don't even read forwarded email.

I like that the Vatican has abandoned all of that "religion" stuff and has seen fit to regulate something as secular as driving. Because, you know, Jesus was always courteous when he was cruising down the unpaved road on his donkey.

What about fornicating in the car? Is that allowed?

As long as you are married and it is for the purpose of procreation
