    If I worship (believe) in no God's at all, does that count for the first one?


    I'd say only number 5 i havnt broken.

    Ah. Another adulterer. Ireland’s apparently full of them.

    I don’t think that no God violates commandment 1. Presumably in the Bronze Age it wasn’t an imagined option.

    "Thou shalt not believe nor subscribe to hocus pocus"

    I am happy to say I have not broken this most sacred commandment :D

    Im sure everyone has broken number 5. Kill covers all living organisms does it not.

    Except animals, women, child and old people... all of which the bible actively encourage you to kill for various reasons, through various colourful means (mostly stoning).

    If I had an abortion, does that mean i've done 5?

    Nope, the bible actually defines life multiple times as the moment an organism takes a breath.

    Always remember Matthew 21:17...

    "And he left them and went out of the city to Bethany, where he spent the night."

    Think about it....

    In Judaism that stuff was just the 'mission statement' and then followed the list of 613 commandments.
    To be a real bad ass you have to check off those 613.
    57 To exact the debt of an alien (Deut. 15:3) (affirmative).
    58 To lend to an alien at interest (Deut. 23:21) According to tradition, this is mandatory (affirmative).
    It's the Rules of Acquisition :eek:

    Probably six of them. Maybe seven. Depends on how you define #5.

    "Thou Shalt Not Kill" is one interpretation. "Thou Shalt Not Murder" is another.

    There is a very important distinction. The one is the unjustified killing of another. The other is killing for any reason whatsoever.

    Since there is plenty of justifiable killing in the bible, and the original verb in Hebrew is "ratash", meaning 'murder', and not 'harag' (kill), there is a very strong argument that the common relating of #5 is actually incorrect.
