How many of the Commandments have you broken?

    We did the seven deadly sins a few months back, now lets do:
    The Ten Commandments
    1You shall have no other gods before Me.

    2You shall not make a graven image for you, any likeness of anything in the heavens above, or in the earth beneath, and in the waters from under the earth. 9You shall not bow yourself to them nor serve them, for I, Jehovah your God, am a jealous God, visiting the iniquity of fathers on sons, and on the third, and on the fourth generation of those that hate Me, 10and doing kindness to thousands of those who love Me and keep My commandments.

    3You shall not take the name of Jehovah your God in vain; for Jehovah will not hold him guiltless who takes His name in vain.

    4Observe the sabbath day, to keep it holy, as Jehovah your God has commanded you. 13Six days you shall labor, and shall do all your work, 14And the seventh day shall be a sabbath to Jehovah your God. You shall not do any work, you nor your son, nor your daughter, nor your male slave, nor your female slave, nor your ox, nor your ass, nor any of your livestock, nor your stranger that is within your gates; so that your male slave and your female slave may rest like yourself. 15And remember that you were a slave in the land of Egypt, and Jehovah your God brought you out from there by a mighty hand and by a stretched out arm. On account of this Jehovah your God has commanded you to keep the sabbath day.

    5Honor your father and your mother, as Jehovah your God has commanded you, so that your days may be prolonged, and so that it may be well with you in the land which Jehovah your God is giving to you.

    6You shall not commit murder.

    7And you shall not commit adultery.

    8And you shall not steal.

    9And you shall not bear false witness against your neighbor.

    10You shall not lust after your neighbor's wife; nor shall you covet your neighbor's house, his field, nor his male slave, nor his female slave, his ox, nor his ass, nor anything which is your neighbor's.

    3,4,5,8,10.
    I have broken a full half of the commandments:eek:

    Good thing I'm not too religious.

    1You shall have no other gods before Me.

    Hmmm, I don't believe in any Gods so i guess no I havent broken this one.
    2You shall not make a graven image for you, any likeness of anything in the heavens above,

    I once made an origami swan. Does that count?
    3You shall not take the name of Jehovah your God in vain; for Jehovah will not hold him guiltless who takes His name in vain.

    Jesus Christ, you won't let me have any fun!
    4Observe the sabbath day, to keep it holy,

    Of course Christians say the Sabbath day is Sunday. Jews say it's Saturday. I can't be playing favorites now can I?
    5Honor your father and your mother,

    On their honor I shall avenge my parents!
    6You shall not commit murder.

    Well there goes my plan for #5.
    7And you shall not commit adultery.

    If they arent married is it technically 'adultery'?
    8And you shall not steal.

    Yoink!
    9And you shall not bear false witness against your neighbor.

    It was him.
    10You shall not lust after your neighbor's wife; nor shall you covet your neighbor's house, his field, nor his male slave, nor his female slave, his ox, nor his ass, nor anything which is your neighbor's.

    Huh.. huh... you said ass..

    False witness means a legal situation right?

    And your actual neighbour, right? RIGHT?


    EDIT: Does Number 2 ban pictures of angels? Cause we drew them in school. If so, then that is six.

    1You shall have no other gods before Me.

    What's my situation vis-a-vis atheism and this commandment? I don't have any other gods before Him, they're all pretty much on the same level ..

    Other than that I only managed a measly 3 broken commandments :o

    I refuse to answer on the grounds that it might indite me - or at least come back to haunt me when I run for election!

  • Registered Users, Subscribers, Registered Users 2 Posts: 47,351 ✭✭✭✭Zaph


    I always thought they were more like guidelines than actual rules.


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 1,368 ✭✭✭Smart Bug


    I dunno about the commandments, but I have broken yore Ma.

    Me too.
    That or Moses ate some funny cactus in the desert and halucinated.

    And your actual neighbour, right? RIGHT?

    I thought it was about lying to your neighbours and I don't think it means neighbours as in the next door sense. I got the feeling it meant anyone you ever encountered.

    Anyway, with my own interpretation, I've broken all bar the murder one. Unless pulling the plug (Legally) is included. Then I've done all ten.

  • Moderators, Science, Health & Environment Moderators, Social & Fun Moderators, Society & Culture Moderators Posts: 60,110 Mod ✭✭✭✭Tar.Aldarion


    9 of them. I include animals in murder though, some wouldn't. Would be 8 in that case.


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 2,890 ✭✭✭embee


    Those aren't the Commandents we learned in school, that number 3 is way outta nowhere.

    It was

    1. I am the lord your god, you shall not have strange gods before me.
    2. You shall not take the name of the lord your god in vain.
    3. Remember to keep holy the sabbath day.
    4. Honour your father and mother.
    5. You shall not kill.
    6. You shall not steal.
    7. You shall not commit adultery.
    8. You shall not bear false witness against thy neighbour.
    9. You shall not covet your neighbours wife.
    10. You shall not covet your neighbours goods.

    So anyways,

    I've broken just about all of them apart from killing and adultery. I don't really know what "bearing false witness against your neighbour" is, so I'm assuming I've done that too.

    I think thats when you tell the gardai that your neighbour is a sex pest who makes obscene gestures at you with his cock when you leave for work in the morning.... I could be wrong though...

    What about all the heathens going to hell for eating meat on a friday a few years ago:rolleyes:


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 2,892 ✭✭✭ChocolateSauce


    I can't break number one as I have no gods, I've never murdered.

    2, 3, 4, 5, 8, 9, 10.

    I've also lusted after my neighbour, and my neighbour's mother.

    I think the one in the OP is the prod version.

    Jews have a different one as well, they are all the same text except they divide them into 10 differently.
