Texas could join Louisiana with a law to require the Ten Commandments in classrooms

10. It has one benefit. The kids will be able to see how many commandments the adults regularly break.

Of course these commandments are not all that clear; their open to interpretation...a lot of interpretation.
For instance, is it OK to bear false witness against someone who isn't your neighbor?
And how about lying; that doesn't seem to be covered except the bear false witness part.
Or, can you covet your neighbor's husband?
Adultery is bad, but sex outside of marriage isn't covered, so is it OK?
Thou shall not kill, but is it OK to wound?
Thou shall not steal, but is "long term" borrowing OK?
And how do you know you're taking God's name in vain? Maybe you aren't.
And is it not holy to drink beer and shout obscenities at the referee while watching Sunday football?

Think about it, most people break 2 or 3 commandments each day; some even more.
I think it's because there are too many loopholes in the lists; too many generalizations.
What's a person to do?
I think it's unrealistic to put all this stuff on our children, when it means so little to the adults.
My feeling is that the list as compiled by Moses is pretty worthless as anything other than a guideline.
