What I find fascinating is that nearly all religions and faith have a set of rules (which I guess simply map out "common decency") very similar to the 10 commandments:

1. You shall have no other Gods but me.
2. You shall not make for yourself any idol, nor bow down to it or worship it.
3. You shall not misuse the name of the Lord your God.
4. You shall remember and keep the Sabbath day holy.
5. Respect your father and mother.
6. You must not kill.
7. You must not commit adultery.
8. You must not steal.
9. You must not give false evidence against your neighbour.
10. You must not be envious of your neighbour's goods. You shall not be envious of his house nor his wife, nor anything that belongs to your neighbour.


Does anyone really struggle with any of these?

One of the reasons why I kinda reluctantly conceded that there must be a higher power is that no man could have come up with a set of rules like this... or could we?
