Gee, Elsie, I think that we’re missing something here. If righteous Abraham could lie and still had God’s approval and blessing, then we can, too.
Whew, That’s one less commandment we have to worry about keeping.
Now we’re down to 8. Adultery’s off the list and so is lying.
Any more we can eliminate?

I WAS gonna say, "Well check with Salt Lake on that"...BUT then, I remembered....no wine, no coffee, no tea, no cigars, no choice in underwear.....Geez, you just can't win, can you?
We can also eliminate the prohibition on idolatry (such as the belief in supernatural properties being inbodied in certain unmentionable physical objects) as well as theft (as in fraudulent application for and use of food stamps). It seems that since they believe men can become Gods that it would also preclude the commandment prohibiting false gods.
So looks to me like we are down to just 5.

Well, if we eliminate the whole "Thou shalt not covet" we can take an ax to them some more.
