I thought we were talking about the ten commandments? The Graven image wasn't about art, it was about creating a God in which you bow down to and worship. Also, the practices of ancient people were twisted as you well know. Hell, we here in America practiced Slavery ourselves, but I don't think God was pleased by it. It was simply another thing people used God as for an exuse, imo.

The Ten cammandments themseves make for a decent moral code, if you don't like/agree with them, don't follow them...pretty simple. If you are married, I'd hope you wouldn't condone her/him fucking someone else. [Adultery] or think about fucking someone else, lol! If you [both of you] have an open relashionship and like swinging; I might put that under the fornication catagory as no one gets hurt. Same for coveting your neighbors wife; it's about respect and having Love for others, man.

You gotta admit that the section of the ten dealing with people aren't bad. Unless you lean towards anarchy, or a non-civilized world, or simply enjoy hurting others or being hurt by others.


Love,
