3 laws perhaps, most of the others are considered princples to which to live by.

But did anyone notice that lying is not listed as a no-no in the Top Ten?

This is an amusing and informative video about #9 ...the differnce between lying and bearing false witness, or accusations, and how it so relates to todays liberal scum.

Just so ya know litard, Commandment #9 is regarding false accusations.

No. 7 is a law in the military. You can be court martialed for it.

It is also still illegal in many US states.

Yeah, the UCMJ is a different sort of animal. Good point, though.

So today's laws that Chris pointed out are attributed primarily to the 10 commandments? Bold move, cotton. I'll let you justify that rather than trying to argue against it.

@sadbrownsfan said:

1. You shall have no other gods before Me.
2. You shall not make idols.
3. You shall not take the name of the LORD your God in vain.
4. Remember the Sabbath day, to keep it holy.
5. Honor your father and your mother.
6. You shall not murder.
7. You shall not commit adultery.
8. You shall not steal.
9. You shall not bear false witness against your neighbor.
10. You shall not covet.

There are 3 laws in there that are part of modern society.

The first 4 aren't relevent in today's society.

5 is good advice, but we wouldn't need the bible to tell us that - look at any tribe and the elders are always the most respected.

7 isn't a law. Regrettable, maybe, but not illegal.

Coveting your neighbours stuff is how most of suburbia works - neighbour gets a new TV, I want a new TV. I get a new ride-on lawnmower, my neighbour gets one with a bigger engine.

Saying they're the basis for our law system is a stretch.

Do you feel another theory or law did more than the commandments? Greek\Roman law? or even Babylonian\Egyptian law....or just disagreeing to disagree?

@sadbrownsfan said:

Because there are so many laws against following the wrong religion, skipping church, talking back to your parents, and coveting your neighbor's wife and material shit There are penalties for murder and theft in every civilization. So I could make the same argument with just about any other theory of law that may have marginally influenced western civilizations.

"The Ten Commandments monument on the Oklahoma Capitol grounds is constitutional because of its historical value,"

I'm sorry, 'historical' value? Implying that they definitively happened? I don't care about the statue, but the judge's reasoning is pretty iffy, along with the aforementioned supposed secularity of the monument.

They do serve, whether you believe the story of how Moses came down from the mountain with the tablets or not, as the basis of Laws in most Western Civilizations, so they do have 'historical' value which makes a legitimate reason to have around government buildings.
