,,, in saying a lot of things, the Bible has presented a marvellous invitation for many to interpret it in different ways, even rewriting it when it's teachings don't suit. The benefit of the Ten Commandments for me is that they're really a two minute manager for a better life. I've always regarded a number of the Ten Commandments as pertaining more to common sense rather than religion and, at the end of the day - they're concise, plain and non-arbitrary. No confusion. Good enough to carve in stone.

Even a stopped clock is right twice a day ... however, the 10 Commandments FORBID any other religion -- which is a TERRIBLE thing for a GOVERNMENT to endorse.
