This is funny!!! And much easier to remember!!! Some people have trouble with all those 'shall's' and 'shall not's' in the Ten Commandments. Folks just aren't used to talking in those terms. So, in middle Tennessee they translated the 'King James' into ' Jackson County ' language....no joke (posted on the wall at Cross Trails Church in Gainesboro , TN ).
(1) Just one God
(2) Put nothin' before God
(3) Watch yer mouth
(4) Git yourself to Sunday meetin'
(5) Honor yer Ma & Pa
(6) No killin'
(7) No foolin' around with another fellow's gal
(8) Don't take what ain't yers
(9) No tellin' tales or gossipin'
(10) Don't be hankerin' for yer buddy's stuff
Now that's plain an' simple. Y'all have a nice day!

"He who fights with monsters might take care lest he thereby become a monster" -- Nietzsche.
This might be a more relevant suggestion than all the ten commandments are demands upon post 9/11 America.
Not killing is absurd. Afterall, "warskill"; and you reconcile this with never killing how? Oh, you find a way. I just think it would be easier to assume that no rules are eternally binding and that the best a philosophy can do is suggest the right course of action for a specific time, place and moral agent.
Oh no, lets all get scared about the future immoral secular world. "Don't do ___... ever!" Phew, thank god that's taken care of.
Don't you see the similarity of the UN and the Catholic Church? They're only as relevant as people/countries allow them to be.
Canadian your to liberal for my blood... Hill billy ten commandments--You got to love those hillbillys amd makes me want to cry. redneck Ron
It is hard enough to remember my opinions, without also remembering my reasons for them!
-- Friedrich Nietzsche
Kill in this context actually means murder.
UN and the Catholic Church? That's a good one!
Only a Nietzschean could turn a lighthearted Sunday entertainment piece into an excuse to churn out more turgid prose and dense pedantry.
