...1st 4 guarante freedom of religio? ONE: 'You shall have no other gods before Me.'
I don't have your gods I do not acknowledge them as the creators of the universe or as anything more than a primitive myth The 10 commandments forbids it How does that guarantee or protect my freedom to worhsip other gods if I choose or no god or a universal creator of energy consciousness and all the parallel universes within time and space different than that one ?
TWO: 'You shall not make for yourself a carved image--any likeness of anything that is in heaven above, or that is in the earth beneath, or that is in the water under the earth.'
Statues offend this god --- what if mine demands a statue --- How does this protect my freedom in any way ?
THREE: 'You shall not take the name of the LORD your God in vain.'
What if I don't want to --- what if I think this Lord deserves mocking at least within the privacy of my own home --- will the theological police be "on it" if this is allowed to pass into the society as law as it has done in some brutal lessons of the past ?
FOUR: 'Remember the Sabbath day, to keep it holy.'
Now to honour this god --- and keep his laws I have to rearrange my schedule ? These commandments now regulate commerce trade activity and so on --- How is this gods position on where when and what I should be doing protecting me to have other religions or gods or none at all when it is demanded of me to obey
Can the first 4 of these commandments be anything but a soft theocracy of believe or be bad in some way ? Should that be the basis of the law for a free society ? Free as in free to believe as you wish not as the law mandates you to ?
