I suspect we have a disagreement here that is verging on the
theological. The text of Exod 20 contains many commandments; so does
Denuteronomy 5. No matter how one counts them, or parses them, it there
are clearly more than ten separate commandments in these chapters. Jews
and Christians
Not to put too fine a point on these issues, but the for Roman Catholics
and Lutherans, the 7th Commandment is a prohibition on stealing, not

I must say, as it concerns the 10 commandments issue, that I'm not so

uses as I am the question of why anyone rationally believes that they
form the basis of our laws in the first place. At least 6 of the 10
commandments

If one can display the Ten Commandments (five gets you ten that the only
