    Because the original flavor is very clearly a list of rules made to enable theocratic control and create a religious apartheid.

    I am pretty sure you are over-interpreting here. Theocratic control? Kinda, that’s the whole point of all the “holy books” - I mean whaddya expect? But apartheid is separating people based on (perceived) ethnicity - and the ten commandments do not even attempt to separate people based on religion. They are presented as rules for everyone, no distinction made.

    I can’t believe that you managed to present such a stupid take, that I, a lifelong atheist who thinks all religion is stupid, has to defend the commandments… facepalm

      Have you considered that maybe I know something you don’t?

      Like, for example, the direct translations of the original texts.

      Even what’s actually listed on Exodus as the Commandments.

      Impossible, I’m sure.

        Have you considered that maybe I know something you don’t?

        Considered briefly, but as you decided not to share the alleged “apartheid” commandments, I dismissed that consideration as unlikely and yourself as a troll.

          It’s not like they’re famously listed in one of the most read sections of the most published book of all time, lmao.

          You can just say “I’m an intellectually lazy moron who started my nonsense with aggression and is now throwing a hissy fit because I can’t Google the text of Exodus.”

              Lol, it’s not a secret, it’s just been lied about and you’re too lazy and ignorant to read the actual text of Exodus.

              Good luck with that 👍
