"That enforcing the Commandments by law is absurd and tyrannical."

Hope nobody breaks into your house and steals everything you got. Enforcing your private property ownwerships would be proposterous. (Thou shalt not steal.)

Hopoe nobody sees you walking down the street by yourself after you get out of your nice car, pulls you into an alley, takes your wallet, beats you to an inch of your life then leaves you for dead and takes your car. (Thou shalt not covet.)

Hope nobody kills you. Enforcing someone from killing your would be just downright archaic. (Thou shalt not kill.)

Hope your buddy doesn't take your wife. (Thou shalt not commit adultery.)

Hope those business friends you trust so deeply don't turncoat on you and give that promotion to that guy you've been undercutting so deeply on the job). (Thou shalt not bear false witness.)

As I suspected, you pointed out the Commandments that prohibit the violation of the rights of others.

These are not laws because the Commandments say so, they are laws because no one has the right to initiate force or fraud against another.

What of the 1st four Commandments? Are you going to pick and choose among the Commandments, and ignore the 1st four? Why would you do that? They are Commmandments after all, do we get to pick among them a la carte?
