There are a lot more than ten commandments, but what all the commandments do is show us the absolute holiness of God contrasted to our own sinfullness. We are saved by God's mercy, not by any righteousness of our own. We depart from sin because we know it offends God, who loved us so much, that he gave His own Son an offering for our sins. It is not a religion, but a relationship born out of the compassion and mercy of God himself.

What you don't understand is that the Ten commandments ARE the TOP TEN NO-NO'S!! They were DIRECTING spoken down from GOD to Moses. All other sins and questionable deeds are minor and trivial in comparison. The very fact that you and others don't understand this is one of the MAJOR reasons why this country is in such bad shape.

If homosexuality was the ONLY problem in this country, then I would say that we were doing pretty good.

But if it is NOT the only problem we have. And there are much worse problems that we need to face first, like people constantly violating the Ten Commandment; for example, demonization of innocent people by the press, the government stealing the money from the hard working people of this country, the murdering of unborn babies...

I think you get the idea. Compared to all that and more, homosexuality is a minor problem that can be worried about and debated for another day.
