Commandments?

[David Horn]

Your list comports with traditional religious belief and practice as we've understood it for a long time. Does it comport with more modern forms -- evangelicalism for instance? For evangelicals, there is only Jesus, and failure to believe is tantamount to breaking all 10 commandments. On the other hand, believing and calling on him to be your personal savior is almost a get-out-of-jail-free card. This also makes Jesus the center of a personality cult, with non-believers being the sad and misinformed (good interpretation) or the evil enemy (the less generous alternative), and overflows into our political and social life in subtle and not so subtle ways.

Something to consider.
