"Really? I didn't realize they had the ORIGINAL 10 Commandment stones on display in Montgomery...

Seriously, If these are the Originals, that changes the whole thing... "

Do you really think it would make a difference?

Different Christian sects have a different interpretation of what constitutes the "10 Commandments," which often differs from the modern Jewish interpretation of the 10 Commandments.

As I recall, the monument in Alabama included "I am the LORD thy God" as the first commandment, which concurs with the sense of modern Judaism.

The Catholic Catechism, on the other hand, shows "I am" and "no other gods ... graven images" condensed into a single first commandment, and specifies "name in vain" as the second commandment, and the third as the sabbath commandment.
