A Big Mac Or The Ten Commandments?
Contributed by Dr. Larry Petton on Mar 1, 2016 (message contributor)
A BIG MAC OR THE TEN COMMANDMENTS??
Which can you name first?
(1) The Commandments found in Exodus 20
(2) The ingredients of a Big Mac Burger from McDonalds
Most Americans when surveyed did a better job naming the seven ingredients of a Big Mac: two all-beef patties, special sauce, lettuce, cheese, pickles, onions on a sesame seed bun.
80% knew about the all-beef patties but only 60% recognized “Do not kill.”
Only 45% knew “Honor your father and mother,” 34% knew “Remember the Sabbath day,” and only 29% recognized “Do not make for yourself an idol."
Americans know their hamburgers..........but we’re shaky about the Ten Commandments.
