how would you feel if we abolished all laws and went back to the 10

commandments? how would this change your life? better or worse?

There would be complete Anarchy if that was even considered.

It will never happen.

I doubt ancient fiction would have much of an impact on society today.

It's a good start!

The ten commandments are not complete enough to govern people. They are smart though to apply to ones personal life with the exception of holding no other god above him since all gods should be held at the level each person wishes.

Except Islamic Gods..............They need to do away with that cult.

By definition, all relegion is a cult. cult/kəlt/ 1. A system of religious veneration and devotion directed toward a particular figure or object. 2. A relatively small group of people having religious beliefs or practices regarded by others as strange or sinister. But the second definition doesn't apply, the Islamic faith is not small.

lets see

"And God spoke all these words, saying: 'I am the LORD your God…

ONE: 'You shall have no other gods before Me.'

TWO: 'You shall not make for yourself a carved image--any likeness of anything that is in heaven above, or that is in the earth beneath, or that is in the water under the earth.'

THREE: 'You shall not take the name of the LORD your God in vain.'

FOUR: 'Remember the Sabbath day, to keep it holy.'

FIVE: 'Honor your father and your mother.'

SIX: 'You shall not murder.'

SEVEN: 'You shall not commit adultery.'

EIGHT: 'You shall not steal.'

NINE: 'You shall not bear false witness against your neighbor.'

TEN: 'You shall not covet your neighbor's house; you shall not covet your neighbor's wife, nor his male servant, nor his female servant, nor his ox, nor his donkey, nor anything that is your neighbor's.


in a country where government didnt enforce or prohibit any God specifically,, the first four commandments would be not very useful

in a culture where God was truly ones 'choice' to believe in, they would actually be harmful as public mandates for all


as far as the next six, I think we could do very well with those basic tenets alone,

depending upon how they would be enforced and depending upon whether capitalism were still in place( capitalism creates a load of other concerns that were practically non existent in biblical times)

would require abolishing the first amendment. hell, would require abolishing the whole damn constitution.

true, in the case of lies,,,

The 10 Commandments are moral laws, not civil laws. They were never enforced by any civilization and they couldn't be enforced. Many of the 10 Commandments couldn't be enforced anyways...how would you know who coveted his neighbors wife or car?

four is suppose to be on saturday and seven well i guess alot of people are going to hell

LOL...But these commandments would only be enforced to those who are of that religion, otherwise it is like trying to enforce Israeli laws on us here in the states...lol. This is why politics and religion should not be mixed...

precisely. if we could all agree on what is and is not morally and ethically correct we wouldn't need laws to begin with.
