  There are a lot of choices, free will that people have.

  2 popular choices that people have to make is to make sense out of the bible and there being a God.

  or that there is no God, designer creator and we ended up here by chance.

  In America they have the 10 commandments posted in various places.

  These are the 10 commandments that I have seen in America.

  Exodus
  19:25 So Moses went down unto the people, and spake unto them.
  20:1 And God spake all these words, saying,

  1. Thou shalt have no other gods before me.
  2. Thou shalt not make unto thee any graven image, or any likeness of any thing that is in heaven above, or that is in the earth beneath, or that is in the water under the earth me..
  3. Thou shalt not take the name of the LORD thy God in vain; for the LORD will not hold him guiltless that taketh his name in vain.
  4. Remember the sabbath day, to keep it holy.
  5. Honour thy father and thy mother: that thy days may be long upon the land which the LORD thy God giveth thee.
  6. Thou shalt not kill.
  7. Thou shalt not commit adultery.
  8. Thou shalt not steal.
  9.Thou shalt not bear false witness against thy neighbour.
  10. 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

  Ok I see Coftys point. There are possibly 2 versions of the 10 commandments.

  Below are the 10 commandments that I was referring to.

  I did say that one has to spend a life time studying these things in the bible. Probably just to retain it.

  I think the 10 commandments below are pretty good advice for any country or people to follow.

  People have free will to accept or refuse these command. And they do often to their detriment.

  34:1 And the LORD said unto Moses, Hew thee two tables of stone like unto the first: and I will write upon these tables the words that were in the first tables, which thou brakest.

  34:4 And he hewed two tables of stone like unto the first; and Moses rose up early in the morning, and went up unto mount Sinai, as the LORD had commanded him, and took in his hand the two tables of stone.
  34:10 And he said, Behold, I make a covenant: before all thy people I will do marvels, such as have not been done in all the earth, nor in any nation: and all the people among which thou art shall see the work of the LORD: for it is a terrible thing that I will do with thee.

  Exodus 34:14-26

  1. For thou shalt worship no other god: for the LORD, whose name is Jealous, is a jealous God:
  2. Thou shalt make thee no molten gods.
  3. The feast of unleavened bread shalt thou keep. Seven days thou shalt eat unleavened bread, as I commanded thee, in the time of the month Abib: for in the month Abib thou camest out from Egypt.
  4. But the firstling of an ass thou shalt redeem with a lamb: and if thou redeem him not, then shalt thou break his neck. All the firstborn of thy sons thou shalt redeem. And none shall appear before me empty.
  .5. Six days thou shalt work, but on the seventh day thou shalt rest: in earing time and in harvest thou shalt rest.
  6. And thou shalt observe the feast of weeks, of the firstfruits of wheat harvest, and the feast of ingathering at the year’s end.
  7. Thrice in the year shall all your menchildren appear before the LORD God, the God of Israel.
  8. Thou shalt not offer the blood of my sacrifice with leaven; neither shall the sacrifice of the feast of the passover be left unto the morning.
  9. The first of the firstfruits of thy land thou shalt bring unto the house of the LORD thy God.
  10. Thou shalt not seethe a kid in his mother’s milk

  I don't think the bible itself specifically calls them the 10 commandments but they are the 10 statements that the bible said God wrote with his finger on stone.

  The ten commandments were written by God in stone.

  Many people in America used to rest one day out of 7, Keeping the Sabbath.

  When I was growing up stores were not open on Sundays.

  That is a time many here do not remember.

  But it is also a time when many say America was great.

  That can be quite a rabbit hole to go down discussing keeping the Sabbath.

  I think the 10 commandments are pretty good. For both legal and psychological direction.

  Even the laws that were not the 10 commandments about not boiling a kid in its mothers milk is a good law.

  A corvette Stingray

  Is a corvette Stingray.

  Most people do not call it a Chevy.

  A Porsche is a Porsche.

  Not many people call it a Volkswagen

  But in your way of thinking it is all the same..

  A Country where no-one under 25 believes the biblical creation story.

  2. friends

  no icelanders under the age of 25 believe the creation story that god was responsible for creating the universe, a new poll claims.the poll, commissioned by the icelandic ethical humanist association, claims that 93.9 per cent in the under 25 category responded that the universe was created by the big bang.

  just over 6 per cent responded with ‘don’t know’ or ‘other’.

  none of the respondents, however, believed that the universe had been created by god.

  Iceland has 1/3 the population of the little county I live in in Florida. Pinellas county.

  It would not be very hard to make them all believe in whatever they want to make them believe in. There are not very many of them.

  I think all of mans problems are because man dose not follow the 10 commandments. - James Brown

  Are you going by the Elohist version at Exodus 20 or the Yahwist list at Exodus 34?

  It was very important to Yahweh not to cook a kid in its mothers milk. In fact I think you are on to something. That is what's wrong with the world today, too much boiling of kids in milk!

  That is mosaic law not the 10 commandments.
