I get really tired of people telling me the 10 Commandments are "written in stone". Well, technically they were written in stone, but that's not what I mean. What I mean is that the so called "Laws of God" mean something different today than they did thousands of years ago and it's time we started treating the 10 Commandments as the Living, Breathing Document it truly is.

Take for example #1 - I am the Lord thy God. Thou shalt have no other gods before me. The archaic language notwithstanding (seriously, who uses the words thy and thou in these times?), God said nothing about "worshipping" other gods, simply "having" them. I can't own a god, so there's nothing wrong with worshipping other gods like Gaia or St. Gore of the Ever Inconvenient Truth. While "have" may have meant something different back then, it's the 21st century and it probably isn't relevant any more.

Honor thy Mother and Father - Sure, before there was artificial insemination, gay adoptions, and crack babies this might have made a lot of sense, but how can you do this today without offending people? God shouldn't be insensitive like that.

Thou shalt not covet thy neighbor's wife - When you consider that thousands of years ago, you were lucky if your wife had 6 teeth, it just doesn't jibe with today's standards. How could God have known to plan for breast implants, Botox, low rider jeans and Frederick's of Hollywood thongs? This commandment was probably intended to help men from making a mistake than something to do with 'morals'.

Besides, the original Hebrew punctuation means it could be read as "Thou shall not covet (comma) thy neighbor's wife". It's read the same was as "I did not have inappropriate relations with that woman... Ms. Lewinsky" or "A well regulated Militia, being necessary to the security of a free State, the right of the people to keep and bear Arms, shall not be infringed." So just like the second amendment only applies to militias, this commandment only applies to your neighbor's wife.

It's only common sense to consider that God, writing these commandments all those years ago, simply could not have understood how they could be interpreted today. Times change, and so should the commandments.
