There are many variations on the Ten Commandments: Exodus 20:1-17 and Deuteronomy 5:1-24. Which one do you want?


The truth is that what is often taught---was the EASIEST understanding of anything.  But that does not make it the BEST understanding.


Moral teachings, as all teachings and laws, are for the people.  If they do not benefit the people, they are NOT good teachings or laws.  Any teaching or law that treats, encourages, permits actions toward others that demeans their basic humanity--is not good and should be abolished.  The very fact that the hierarchal church doesn't do a disciplined, medical/scientific research on the nature of homosexuality---but practices exclusion, retaliation, and winks at vindictiveness against members of the LGBT community, is evidence of this   We have abused other groups of peoples as well: the Jews, slaves, women.  Today, the official church has made members of the LGBT the new lepers in our society.
