Odysseus
Just having them as 'Commandments' would still have the link to God and so would still have the same influence of putting God and his word first before the needs of the people. If for some screwed up reason we need to have such rules put out for all to see there should be rephrased to better fit the idea of protecting the rights of the people above following God's rules.
And I do read you post still from time to time, I just no longer comment. I figured some time ago that it was a waste of effort since you very rarely seemed to listen to what I was saying.

O, baby
kooka's beef is with the idea of god.
the idea of how to interact with others -- that's pretty universal.
this is a common ground.
besides everyone -- every Christian -- picks and chooses what he or she will accept in the Bible. I certainly can find verses that you disagree with.
what did Yeshua say about "He who is without sin . . . "
cast stones when you are perfect.

Perhaps then, your protest should be to remove those
particular Commandments that you disagree with. Otherwise you run the risk of protesting against something that is, as you say, "common sense". Surely you are not against "common sense", or are you? In this way you lend yourself to the establishment of commonalities with those whom you protest against, which can lead to peace and comfortable mutual agreement. Wouldn't that be so nice? And by the way, why don't you ever read my posts anymore?

whats this thinking thing that youre doing
youre right.
remember thinking gets your into trouble
look where i am
the ten is interesting to ponder
the ten can be stated several different ways -- the numbers are different to different religions
and they are different in exodus and deuteronomy
so what version would it be anyway
but again its a religious thing and doesn't need to be in secular society
