gollark: But we have technological replacements for arcane social policy.
gollark: It made some sense in the past as some kind of crystallized "no promiscuity" law when we didn't have contraception and stuff.
gollark: In what way?
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.
