"You shall not covet your neigbor's wife."

It's really:

"You shall not covet neighbor's house. You shall not covet your neighbor's wife, or his manservant or maidservant, his ox or donkey, or anything that belongs to your neighbor."

There you have it, the objectification of women, right there on the stone tablets.

And didn't Fallwell and Robertson break #3 by blaming the pagans for 9/11?

"You shall not misuse the name of the LORD your God, for the LORD will not hold anyone guiltless who misuses his name."

They're not much good at remembering the Sabbath day (which is sundown Friday to sundown Saturday, properly) or keeping it holy--or even keeping the one they've chosen instead, unless you consider shopping malls temples, in which case there might be something about "no other gods before me."

Actually you're not supposed to covet thy neighbor's ass either. Which is something I get in trouble with from time to time.
