	As an athiest I'm reasonably happy with 60th percentile. mind you I've always thought 5-10 were fairly reasonable standards to live under anyway!

	And God spake saying, "Thou shalt not pause thy Sporcle quiz and Google the answers, for the Lord will not hold him guiltless that cheateth."

	I must've missed the day in sunday school that covered the importance of 'shalt'.

	The ten commandments begin with "I am the Lord your God who brought you out of the land of Egypt, out of the house of bondage" This is because they are not a list of rules whereby a person would earn God's acceptance but a standard of godly living for those who had already been saved by God. A quick look at the text of Exodus 20 will confirm this.

	I figured this would be more fun than it was.

	How did all of that fit on those tablets?

	The 2nd commandment is loooong. I wonder if this is where Monty Python got the inspiration for the "Holy hand grenade of Antioch" portion from the Book of Armaments.

	84th percentile. Not bad for an atheist.

	On a whim, I guessed donkey. I guess I should have realized that I'm more of an ass than a donkey.

	Thou shalt not covet thy neighbor's ass haha...yes I know what it actually means...still funny, I'm immature, sue me

	I always thought the placement of #5 was interesting. The first four are all basically about respect: no other gods, no false idols, no taking God's name in vain, honor your parents. Then, after all that: by the way, don't kill anybody.

	In 1631, one printer made a major error: leaving out the word "not" in the commandment against committing adultery. This version is called the Wicked Bible, and is very valuable today.

	"All hear me! All pay heed! The Lord! The Lord Jehova has given unto you these fifteen (smash), oy... Ten! Ten commandments for all to obey!"

	JustANiceGuy:	Jan 25th, 2012 at 18:12 GMT	10 points
	melissa, #5 may seem out of place, but note that the commandments begin with the person's relationship with God, to their relationship with family and then their relationship with others. When it comes to the relationship with others, the first rule is "don't kill them." I think that's a pretty good place to start.

	no gandalf? "Thou shalt not pass!!!"

	It must have been pretty foresighted of the KJV translators in 1611 to bring out a special US edition with American spellings of words like honour, neighbour and labour.

	When i was younger i used to think it was cover not covet: "Thou shall not cover thy neighbours wife" What? with a blanket? I can see why you shouldn't do that...

	Wait...I can't covet my neighbor's ox? Not fair.

	MasterNachosII:	Jan 25th, 2012 at 22:26 GMT	5 points
	I always prefered the KJV version, simply because "Thou shalt not" sounds WAY cooler than "Don't".

	davie91:	Jan 26th, 2012 at 00:12 GMT	3 points
	Eleven 'nots', eleven 'nors' and one 'no' in ten commandments. Welcome to religion, folks.

	davie91:	Jan 26th, 2012 at 02:06 GMT	6 points
	I should actually clarify my above comment, on second reading I look like one of those angry people that comes on religious quizzes... to criticise religion! I'm a Christian myself but it just made me chuckle that my first guess was 'not' and it came up with more answers than commandments.

	melissa:	Jan 26th, 2012 at 14:16 GMT	1 point
	@JustANiceGuy - that's interesting; thanks! Don't remember ever noticing or being taught that in 8 years of Sunday school, but it makes sense. And actually, when you think about the first four being about your relationship with God, then the first two are versions of "thou shalt not kill" as well (in a Nietzschean sense, at least).

	I totally forgot about number 7 . . . that doesn't mean anything bad about me, does it? On another note, judging by length two and four are by far the most important :)

	#jenzahara- you don't have to be religious to agree with many of the commandments (i.e. killing people is bad.) they're kinda objective truths in that respect... (1-3 are the religious ones.)
