I just had a thought that if we humans all agree with the 10 commandments on moral grounds then we prove that the bible is the word of God and Moses truly was a messenger of God I can't disagree with none of them let me hear your thoughts.
10 Commandment List
You shall have no other gods before me.
You shall not make for yourself any carved image, or any likeness of anything that is in heaven above, or that is in the earth beneath, or that is in the water under the earth; you shall not bow down to them nor serve them. For I, the Lord your God, am a jealous God, visiting the iniquity of the fathers on the children to the third and fourth generations of those who hate me, but showing mercy to thousands, to those who love Me and keep My commandments.
You shall not take the name of the Lord your God in vain, for the Lord will not hold him guiltless who takes His name in vain.
Remember the Sabbath day, to keep it holy. Six days you shall labor and do all your work, but the seventh day is the Sabbath of the Lord your God. In it you shall do no work: you, nor your son, nor your daughter, nor your manservant, nor your maidservant, nor your cattle, nor your stranger who iswithin your gates. For in six days the Lord made the heavens and the earth, the sea, and all that is in them, and rested the seventh day. Therefore the Lord blessed the Sabbath day and hallowed it.
Honor your father and your mother, that your days may be long upon the land which the Lord your God is giving you.
You shall not murder.
You shall not commit adultery.
You shall not steal.
You shall not bear false witness against your neighbor.
You shall not covet your neighbor’s house; you shall not covet your neighbor’s wife, nor his manservant, nor his maidservant, nor his ox, nor his donkey, nor anything that is your neighbor’s."

How would it prove the word of God? Maybe it would just show the people had these Morals back then?
I dont really think 1,2 3 or 4 are anything but an ego trip!!!!!
Well, I certainly disagree with number ten. Do you have any idea how hot my neighbor's ox is? And wait until you see a picture of my neighbor's donkey!
5. "Honor your father and your mother..."
6. "Do not murder"
7. "Do not commit adultery."
8. "Do not steal."
9. "Do not bear false witness against your neighbor"
10. "Do not covet your neighbor's wife"
It is the first four that do not apply to all; therefore, no proof.
Well, I certainly disagree with number ten. Do you have any idea how hot my neighbor's ox is? And wait until you see a picture of my neighbor's donkey!
Yea, my neighbor has a really cute Manservant. AKA Pool boy.
No. The first 4 would be irrelevant to an atheist since they don't believe in god. 5 depends on if the parents in question deserve to be honored. 6 7 and 8 should be followed regardless of religion since breaking them takes away the rights of another. 9 would depend on what you were lying about. 10 is the silliest commandment! Sometimes you can't help what you think about!
Well, I certainly disagree with number ten. Do you have any idea how hot my neighbor's ox is? And wait until you see a picture of my neighbor's donkey!
And my neighbors ARE cows! So I can't covet the cow's cows?!
There is probably some OT law against peeing yourself! Be careful! It could make you unclean!
LOL, then stop making me laugh, I have to go to the bathroom and there is no toilet here!!!!!!
