gollark: 5 is just elder-worship, which I do *not* agree with, no murdering is reasonable but narrow in scope, the adultery one doesn't seem very important or fundamental-law-y, stealing is bad I guess, bearing false witness is somewhat bad too I guess, the coveting ones seem unnecessary.
gollark: I like to hope I would be better than to demand obedience/worship/belief on pain of eternal torture.
gollark: Just looking up the ten commandments quickly, fully two fifths of these are just bizarre narcissistic stuff about God.
gollark: Yes, quran also bad.
gollark: Probably some things considered conspiracy theories have been and are true, but it's also easy to make up wild theories about conspiracies and collusion, and people find it fun to do so, so tons of them are wrong.
