You shall worship no gods other than me Me, including anyone claiming to be related to me. ``` You shall not make graven images and worship them (you get that I mean images of me, not images in general? OK cool). You shall not take the name of the LORD your God in vain. My name is not "Fuck," "Shit," "Dammit," "Bitch," or "Bastard," so those words are cool. Remember the Sabbath day, to keep it holy. For those reading in translation, Sabbath = Saturday, Subota, lørdag, samedi, Samstag, doyōbi, Šeštadienis, Jesarn, jumamosi, wan sao. It does not mean "Sunday." Honor your father and your mother. You shall not murder. Or manslaughter, vehicular homicide, conspiracy to commit murder, etc. There are not loopholes here. You shall not commit adultery. There's a lot more on this in Leviticus if you aren't sure what it means. You shall not steal. Or "borrow without asking." Also, return things in a timely manner. You shall not bear false witness against your neighbor. This means don't lie under oath. I would just say "Don't lie," but I know about picking my battles. ``` You shall not covet. Yes, I am the thought police. \* Hmm. Too wordy. Better trim it down. They’ll get what I mean.\* ---

I feel that what you have said is a personal viewpoint only, derived from your individual perceptions. I do not necessarily accept your preconceptions, nor do they necessarily reflect anything in the actual reality of the facts involved. But come! fellow human - quaff an ale with me and remain awhile in peace, as I myself do. (But really, that carpet, without doubt, was a key feature of the room’s aesthetic - its _gestalt_, one might say). ---
