  After the first three they are not in the order I would place them but some don't apply to me anyway - nevertheless a good set of ground rules and good write.

    Thanks MICHAEL ~ Those Commandments that deal with our Responsibilities in the Community and the Home (Nos. 5 to 10) do form the basis of the LAW in many Countries. The first four (as I said) are SPIRITUAL and only binding on JEWS & CHRISTIANS ~ OK ! Thanks for your reasoned comment ~ BRIAN

    What do you mean Brian, the first four are only binding on Jews and Christians? Are Hindus, Buddhists, Islam, and Atheists free to murder, steal, pay false witness, and commit adultery? Look, every religion has its laws and they are all very similar with the first one being to love each other, no matter if you are Christian, Buddhist, or whatever.

  I think it's only to be expected in a not necessarily asking only church people survey, that the Community and Home commands have appeared first, and the Spiritual ones at the end. Looks pretty accurate to say that, or generally speaking in this list.

  Thanks STEVE it's the age we live in ~ almost a Post-Christian age. Commandments 5 to 10 are related to the Home & Community and 6 to 10 would be common to all Religions and be Laws in most Democratic Countries ! Thanks for your reasoned reply ~ Yours BRIAN

    Thanks CHRIS ~ Thanks for your objective comment. The high % for the Personal & Community aspects of the 10 C's and the low % for the Spiritual (Judeo~Christian) ones is a reflection of the increasing Atheism & Agnosticism in the UK ~ a similar Poll in the USA would be interesting ! Both our Societies are becoming increasingly secular and the Commercial Desecration of Sunday is a good example. My family never shopped on a Sunday ~ never bought a Sunday Newspaper and never used Public Transport on a Sunday ~ we always walked to Church ! I try to do the Same ! HUGS in the Spirit ~ BRIAN (Sabbatarian !).
