I read the ten commandments once and didn't see anything wrong with following them.

I'm pretty fond of graven images, myself.

I like Scott Alexander's take. Spoilers Unsong, but everyone who's anyone is caught up, right?

Including the 'don't follow other gods' bit?

Well, I've never had the slightest inclination to follow another god.

Artful dodge if I've ever seen one.

Is it? A house divided...

I once had a pastor tell me that there are many paths to God, she said that the key was to "choose one." I think this is a good interpretation of this commandment.

Edited to redact my post.

I am incapable of discussing these things in a detached manner at present.

My spin on that is "I read the Ten Commandments once and saw I was already doing them not out fear but out of respect for those around me."
