You forgot one important one: Thou Shall scream persecution or taking the one true religion away from society if anyone calls us on our hypocrasy\fantatism, fights back or sees us as intollerant and backward. We’re the real victims here, damnit.

Thanks Chuck. Actually if you look at the way the Ten Commandments are interpreted by Christian, Catholic, and Jewish faiths, you’ll see some of them were collected together as well, such as the commandments about no other idols and speaking in vain, and especially about coveting, which in some interpretations there is a separate prohibition against coveting thy neighbor’s wife and then for coveting anything else of thy neighbor. If broken down, there would really be about twelve or thirteen commandments, which would be hard to scrawl on three tablets and make it look all balanced… and then of course having the old fart bring them down from the mountain just to hurl them in a fit of rage against the folks who worshiped the Golden Limbaugh….oops, I meant Golden Calf… Plus, the late George Carlin had it right when he said it’s easier to just say there are TEN… it’s a nice round number.

You actually put a lot of extra “demands” in most of these, so it turns out to be more than ten. I might take a crack at something like this when I get the time … should be fun.
