“Thou shalt have no other gods before me.”

Not a U.S. law. Have all the gods you like in any order you wish... or no gods at all. That's the American way.

"Thou shalt not make unto thee any graven image"

Feel free to make all the graven images you like. Go ahead and carve gods. Perfectly legal.

Thou shalt not take the name of the Lord thy God in vain

No law against this. I'd be serving life if there were.

Remember the sabbath day, to keep it holy

Or not. Feel to work or treat it like any other day.

Honour thy father and thy mother

You should but it's not a law. And maybe they were abusers so you can despise them if it makes you feel better.

Thou shalt not kill

Thou shalt not murder. Laws against murder are not based on the Ten Commandments. All societies have laws against murder regardless of their religious traditions, if any.

Thou shalt not commit adultery

Tough to sell this one if you're a Trumpette. But in any case, it's not against the law.

Thou shalt not steal

Laws against theft are not based on religious orthodoxy: They're just common sense.

Thou shalt not bear false witness against thy neighbour

Perjury? Common sense illegal. Lying about your neighbor because you don't like him? Not illegal.

Thou shalt not covet thy neighbour's house, thou shalt not covet thy neighbour's wife, nor his manservant, nor his maidservant, nor his ox, nor his ass, nor any thing that is thy neighbour's

None of this is illegal. This country's economy runs on coveting.


Kindly explain to me how the laws of the United States are based on the Ten Commandments.

Religious bullshit at its finest.

Excellent post. All those things the Bible tells us not to do, are our god given rights, no? Thank goodness for free will.

Yes, thank God for free will. You're free to make mistakes that lead to the destruction of our great country, and leftists are doing just that every single day.

Ho hum, same old crap. The right runs the economy into the ground and then the Democrats come in and repair it. Bring some facts on your next drive by.

All of western civilization is based on Judeo/Christian values including our laws. Do you think laws just pop out of the ether?

So go ahead and tell us which laws are based on the Ten Commandments.


No Judeo-Christian values are incorporated into Western law. Laws existed long before Christianity and Judaism. Nations that have never had the Judeo/Christian religion had laws based on common sense.

This thread is not about nations that have never "had the Judeo/Christian religion" it's about the Ten Commandments and U.S. laws.

I did not say our laws are based on the ten commandments. I said our laws are based on Judeo/Christian values.

The authors of the constitution existed in a western world formed by Judeo/Christion values. Even the concept of a secular government is part of Judeo/Christian values. You can't escape the realities of history.

Skip the Christian revisionist history. The FF were quite clear about not incorporating religious ideology in the constitution. John Adams explicity said as much in his writings, "In Defense of the Constitutions of the United States of America" (1787).

Secular government is based on Judeo-Christian values? Didn't kings rule by Divine Right?

No more. I'm done and so is that unconstitutional law.

Christianity has a 2000 year history. Some centuries were filled with wrongful use of Christian values. Christ never made any attempt to control government. In fact He said "Render unto Ceasar what is Ceaser's...."

I'm sorry to hear you're done....wait, no I'm not.

No and hopefully they also don't pop out of the Bible. God given rights, what are they? Whose god?
