About Me
- Name: Michael Riley
Michael Riley is a feature writer and columnist for the Asbury Park Press. An ordained American Baptist minister, he pastored three congregations over a period of 20 years before being lured from the pulpit by the secular humanist, heathenish world of journalism. The Baptists were only slightly sorry to see him go. Riley was born in Camden and raised in a South Jersey trailer park in the shadow of a truck stop. He is a graduate of Eastern College and Eastern Baptist Theological Seminary. He and his wife, who will celebrate their 25th wedding anniversary in May, have four sons. The only really honest work he has ever done was a stint as a clam shucker at a place called Cap'n Cat's in South Jersey. Riley has been said to assume that he is usually the smartest person in any room he happens to be in. The man has opinions.

Yeah, but you were still going over 60 and speeding. Just pay it and move on.(slower next time).
Why can't God change the Ten Commandments like they change the speed limits?One day it's thou shalt not commit adultery and the next day it's "Nevermind."
But weren't the 10 Commandments already changed? Didn't Mel Brooks... I mean, Moses... drop one of the three tablets and break it, thus reducing the number of Commandments from 15 to 10?
No no no...Ray, this "tongue in cheek thing...you know how I don't get your humor(good ole Mel Brooks). Well, that's not what happened with Moses. He came down from Mount Sinai and found the people worshipping a golden calf and doing evil things. So he smashed all the tablets he had in anger. Later, God told him to "cut two stone tablets like the first ones, and I will write on them the words that were on the first tablets, which you broke." Exodus 34:1
Just so you know.

Allegedly.
NO allegedly - this isn't a page from the politician's credo.
I like the Mel Brooks version better... even if Margaret doesn't get it.
Slow down, you move too fast.Lalalala. Felling groovy!
