what is more well-rounded than the 10 commandments? i can't see another set of 'cast in stone' rules that are easier to follow that bring peace to both you and your fellow man. i'm not a bible thumper by any means, but when i was growing up i attended several churches and took theology in high school. i understand more than the next person what a crutch can be, yet i don't see people studying the bible or believing in god as being one.
even our laws can't surpass the 10 commandments. sure, there is a lot that is present in both, but our laws would take a 7 year-old years to understand. with the 10 commandments, it's all cut and dry - thou shalt not kill. easy enough to understand. yet, subtract that from a child's life and maybe they don't know it is wrong to kill. they pick up a gun and shoot someone. maybe if it was in their life from the beginning there wouldn't have been that crime...
