Actually, there are only 6 commandments...

The first four, if they really were from "God"...
Are self-serving declarations of narcissism...

1) You shall have no other gods before me.

2) You shall not make for yourself any carved image, or 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; you shall not bow down to them nor serve them. For I, the Lord your God, am a jealous God, visiting the iniquity of the fathers on the children to the third and fourth generations of those who hate me, but showing mercy to thousands, to those who love Me and keep My commandments.

3) You shall not take the name of the Lord your God in vain, for the Lord will not hold him guiltless who takes His name in vain.

4) Remember the Sabbath day, to keep it holy. Six days you shall labor and do all your work, but the seventh day is the Sabbath of the Lord your God. In it you shall do no work: you, nor your son, nor your daughter, nor your manservant, nor your maidservant, nor your cattle, nor your stranger who is within your gates. For in six days the Lord made the heavens and the earth, the sea, and all that is in them, and rested the seventh day. Therefore the Lord blessed the Sabbath day and hallowed it.

Number 5 is more of a social nicety than anything else...

5) Honor your father and your mother, that your days may be long upon the land which the Lord your God is giving you.

And, numbers 6 through 10...

6) You shall not murder.

7) You shall not commit adultery.

8) You shall not steal.

9) You shall not bear false witness against your neighbor.

10) You shall not covet your neighbors house; you shall not covet your neighbors wife, nor his manservant, nor his maidservant, nor his ox, nor his donkey, nor anything that is your neighbors.

Can all be boiled down to the "Golden Rule"...
-- "Do unto others as you would have them do unto you."
Which is nothing more than the Law of the Sandbox.

So, when you get right down to it...
-- After scraping away the veneer of religious "piety"...
The "Ten Commandments" and the Modern Legal System...
Are merely the Actualization of Social Compromise.

If you are going to live within a Social Construct...
Then...
You must abide by the Rules of the Sandbox...
-- If you don't want Suzie to hit you with her Bucket...
Then...
-- You shouldn't steal her shovel.

The Social Construct works best...
When we all try to...
-- Play well with others.
