As far as the Ten Commandments, I agree with (I think it was) weegee. Even the blaspheming one - in the sense that it should be illegal (and generally used to be until very recently) to publicly vilify another's religion. Perfectly ok to disagree philosophically, but to mock, or slander, especially in a violent or obscene manner, any religion is wrong. For instance, how the Nazis used to vilify the Jewish religion and Jews in general. Or how Catholics used to be vilified in this country.
But that is different than legitimate disagreement with ideas.

I'm happy for you that you agree with someone else who takes essentially a Taliban position on governance.

I don't want to live in a violent theocracy, which is precisely what you wish for without even knowing it. No thanks. Good luck when Hillary is in charge of your morals.
