In researching an earlier post, I found Wikipedia’s great entry on the Ten Commandments. The most interesting part is the quoted portion of the Qur’an that slightly mirrors the various versions of the commandments. If conservatives weren’t so insistent upon using the wheels of government to spread their particular brand of Christianity, then I’d suggest theocrats like Roy Moore hang up the Islamic version instead. Among the highlights for the righties :

You shall not approach lewd behavior whether open or in secret,

Yeah, an anti-porn commandment for the Dobsonites.

And you shall not approach the property of the orphan, except to improve it, until he attains the age of maturity.

Or as I like to call it, the “God hates estate taxes too” commandment. And my favorite…

You shall not take life, which God has made sacred, except by way of justice and law.

Even the most devout of Christians should be able to see the improvement here. Gone are the days where bloodthirsty leaders like Bush have to reconcile “thou shalt not kill” with their desire to execute the retarded and “shock and awe” brown people. Now that there’s a loophole, they can kill anybody they want and God’s cool with it.
