The little fat guy is not a representation of Buddha. His name was P'utai and he was a Chan(Chinese Zen) Buddhist monk. He is often depicted as being fat and happy because even though he lived an ascetic lifestyle he found freedom through the teachings of Buddha.I found this answer on daily buddhism, a website. I think i like the fat guy more because i see him more often and he looks nicer then the other skinny guy.
My score was a 15 out of 20, i thought that the test was hard, but i realized that most of the Quaran answeres were like inspirational quotes and the bible was more stories.
- Thou shalt have no other gods before me. this means only follow jesus
- Thou shalt not make unto thee any graven image, or any likeness of any thing that is in heaven above, or that is in the earth beneath, or that is in the water under the earth. Thou shalt not bow down thyself to them, nor serve them: for I the Lord thy God am a jealous God, visiting the iniquity of the fathers upon the children unto the third and fourth generation of them that hate me; And shewing mercy unto thousands of them that love me, and keep my commandments. this means there is no other god besides our god. we can't make anything else as good as him.
- Thou shalt not take the name of the Lord thy God in vain; for the Lord will not hold him guiltless that taketh his name in vain. this means you shouldn't be saying "oh my god".
- Remember the sabbath day, to keep it holy. Six days shalt thou labour, and do all thy work: But the seventh day is the sabbath of the Lord thy God: in it thou shalt not do any work, thou, nor thy son, nor thy daughter, thy manservant, nor thy maidservant, nor thy cattle, nor thy stranger that is within thy gates: For in six days the Lord made heaven and earth, the sea, and all that in them is, and rested the seventh day: wherefore the Lord blessed the sabbath day, and hallowed it. This means you should go to church every sunday.
- Honour thy father and thy mother: that thy days may be long upon the land which the Lord thy God giveth thee. This means you shouldn't be mean to your mom or dad and always respect them.
- Thou shalt not kill. this means you shouldn't kill anyone
- Thou shalt not commit adultery. this means you shouldn't cheat on your spouse.
- Thou shalt not steal. this means you shouldmt steal anything
- Thou shalt not bear false witness against thy neighbour. This means you shouldn't lie about anything to your friend
- Thou shalt not covet thy neighbour’s house, thou shalt not covet thy neighbour’s wife, nor his manservant, nor his maidservant, nor his ox, nor his ass, nor any thing that is thy neighbour’s. This means to stay loyal to your husband or wife and treat everyone the way you want to be treated.
