“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.
