The ten commandments, now that was a mind f*ck for a ten yr old. Not a bit of nuance, just black and white, right or wrong, heaven or hell. Thinking back, I realize how deviously smart the ancients were. All of human morality condensed into ten easy steps. That's when I was introduced to thought crime. Wonderful concept.
Everything on earth is built upon the bones of the dead. The only reason we have "smart" stuff now was due to the intelligence of those that came before us.
Then again, we inherit a lot of their problems too.
Oh yes, and before you hate on the Ten Commandments, you may want to acknowledge that several of them have direct parallels in our law and/or in the "unwritten laws" of expected social conduct.
