The Ten Commandments...nowadays.

It seems to me that the Ten Commandments are just logical laws applied to the human condition that keep us from hurting each other (according to the King James version, Exodus 20):





1. Thou shalt have no other gods before me (be true to yourself)

2. Thou shalt not worship any graven images (don't f*ck with bullsh*t)

3. Thou shalt not take the Lord's name in vain (be careful with your words homey)

4. Remember the Sabbath day and keep it holy (put some time aside to pray or meditate...chill)

5. Honor thy mother and thy father (they brought you here, don't front on them)

6. Thou shalt not kill (easy...don't trip)

7. Thou shalt not commit adultery (find who you dig and get with them)

8. Thou shalt not steal (really?)

9. Thou shalt not bear false witness against thy neighbor (don't sell out)

10. Thou shalt not covet (don't hate the player, hate the game)





There is no "or else"...it's just a list of rules that (when adhered to) keeps most human beings out of unnecessary trouble...from my interpretation...real talk.
