On this so-called most religious day for Christians, I have shown a list of the most sacred laws on which our society is based.

How do YOU stand so far!

(I am NOT a religious person, but I have a good understanding of what is written - read interpreted - in the Bible)

The Ten Commandments

Exodus 20:1-17(LXX)

And the Lord spoke all these words, saying: I am the Lord thy God, who brought

thee out of the land of Egypt, out of the house of bondage.

Thou shalt have no other gods beside me.

Thou shalt not make to thyself an idol, nor likeness of anything, whatever things are

in the heaven above, and whatever are in the earth beneath, and whatever are in the

waters under the earth. Thou shalt not bow down to them, nor serve them; for I am the

Lord thy God, a jealous God, recompensing the sins of the fathers upon the children, to

the third and fourth generation to them that hate me, and bestowing mercy on them that

love me to thousands of them, and on them that keep my commandments.

Thou shalt not take the name of the Lord thy God in vain; for the Lord thy God will

not acquit him that takes his name in vain.

Remember the sabbath day to keep it holy. Six days thou shalt labour, and shalt

perform all thy work. But on the seventh day is the sabbath of the Lord thy God; on it

thou shalt do no work, thou, nor thy son, nor thy daughter, thy servant nor thy

maidservant, thine ox nor thine ass, nor any cattle of thine, nor the stranger that sojourns

with thee. For in six days the Lord made the heaven and the earth, and the sea and all

things in them, and rested on the seventh day; therefore the Lord blessed the seventh

day, and hallowed it.

Honour thy father and thy mother, that it may be well with thee, and that thou mayest

live long on the good land, which the Lord thy God gives to thee.

Thou shalt not commit adultery.

Thou shalt not steal.

Thou shalt not kill.

Thou shalt not bear false witness against thy neighbour.

Thou shalt not covet thy neighbour's wife; thou shalt not covet thy neighbour's house;

nor his field, nor his servant, nor his maid, nor his ox, nor his ass, nor any of his cattle,

nor whatever belongs to thy neighbour.

First Comment:

I gave, on behalf of society in general, a score out of 10 for each commandment, where 10 represents absolute abidence, and zero absolute disobedience. The very best I could muster for all ten, was 3.

Second Comment:

This was not meant to offend anyone, but if it does, please don't hesitate to remove.

Good Luck to all!
