Ten Commandments quiz
We've had other threads about the Ten Commandments, so I'm wondering how many people can list all ten off the top of their head. So go ahead, try it. List them all in your head, then check to see if you got them right. You don't need to get them in the correct order as long as you get all ten.
Jews, Catholics, and Protestants all have slightly different lists, so you can consider yourself correct no matter which version you list. But no fair mixing and matching from the different lists!
Check your answers
I got them all without any trouble.

Yeah I can do it. I have to write them down to keep track and not repeat myself but I can do it. It's a left over from my Christian upbringing and the private Christian elementary school I attended.
Funny anecdote: my freshmen year at university someone from the local BS Ministry (Baptist Students... what did you think I was implying) was outside the dining hall asking people to name the 10 Commandments. To what was then my disgust (now quiet bemused giggles) I was the first of 50 people he had asked that could correctly name all ten.

Bovenal bemin één God
Zweer niet ijdel, vloek noch spot
Heilig steeds de Dag des Heeren
Vader, moeder zult gij eren
Dood niet, geen geef ergernis
Doe niet wat onkuisheid is
Vlucht het stelen en bedriegen
Ook den achterklap en het liegen
Wees steeds kuis in uw gemoed
Begeer nooit andermans goed
It's a rhyme, that's why I remember it so well. It just flows out.

That's probably why we don't trust wiki so very much here.Jew wrote:I just checked Wikipedia, and apparently "You should suck my dick all day long" is one of the commandments. I always forget that one.
I could do it, but not without difficulty.
Please forgive any idiotic comments, stupid observations, or dumb questions in above post, for I am but a college student with little real world experience.

Yes, but that's just a recommendation though, notice the carefully worded "should" vs. the other's "shall". That is why it is not so well known (even though the first ones conveys the same message).Jew wrote:I just checked Wikipedia, and apparently "You should suck my dick all day long" is one of the commandments.

Fail. I managed to get seven of them, but I forgot Sabbath, taking God's name in vain, and honor thy parents.
Then again, I don't pretend they're the basis for my morality like some people.

Damn, when I was taking confirmation classes I could recite all 60-odd books of the bible in order. I'm glad I dropped out of the classes, now I can occupy my mind with more important things. Like Star Wars.

I remember most of them, but not the order (except for the fact that the ones about killing and stealing are in the bottom half). In any case, I'm not too concerned about my recall of the Ten Commandments. It's not as if I'm part of the group which is pretending that they're sooooo important, after all. I can always look them up if I need to point out how stupid they are.

You know, I think the problem is that the commandments are far too negative. Studies have clearly shown that positive statements yield positive output.
The commandments should be:
Thou shall have me as their God, as this will validate the rest of thine list.
Thou shall use my name in positive, happy ways
Thou shall take adequate steps to ensure that people around you are still alive after you have conducted your business.
Thou shall ensure that any and all property remains in the possession of the rightful owners.
Thou shall make use of their time constructively instead of worshiping false idols.
Thou shall say true things.
Thou shall leer at thou own wife.
Thou shall leer at thou own goods.
Thou shall have sex with your significant other exclusively.
And something about honoring parents.

I can't name the commandments, but I don't need to. Spyder has a point though, they are way too negative.

Nope. Thats #6, behind four commanding the worship of God and one about honoring parents. can't remember the exact order of 7-9 myself but I know what all 10 are.wilfulton wrote:I didn't even try. I think the first one is thou shalt not kill but since I'm not 100% sure, I'm going to go ahead and give myself a big fat F.
1: No other gods.
2: No idols.
3: Don't take God's name in vain.
4: Honor the Sabbath.
5: Honor mom and dad.
6: Don't kill.
7: Don't steal.
8: Don't cheat on your spouse.
9: Don't lie.
(again, the order of 7-9 may be wrong)
10: Don't covet your neighbor's stuff.
