I think I will stick with the People of the Book who say there are Ten Commandments 1500 years before the church got it right. When you get tired of dry dead empty religion, Yahweh is holding out His arms for you to come in and have a relationship with Him, without all the bells and whistles.

No, you won’t actually. You won’t stick by them because you can’t in this case. Show me, for instance, where in the Bible it tells us EXACTLY how the commandments are enumerated. Can you do that?

I was tired of dry dead empty religion years ago - that’s why I am not a Protestant, but an orthodox Catholic instead. When you tire of that man-made, latter-day, post 1500 sect you’re in and want God Himself instead, remember, He’s waiting for you.
