I very quickly checked wikipedia, because I couldn't easily identify the extra one. It lists all 16 of the 10 commandments... The table looks like different branches of christianity bundle some of them together (mostly various coveting) or don't even consider the first and last a commandment, so they always only count to ten. So it's an easy mistake to make.

But the fact that they couldn't even count the paragraphs is riddiculous.

Not a good look when something as solid as the ten commandments doesn't line up between groups with similar beliefs.

Might make some folks want to look under the hood. That certainly won't increase church attendance.

They are the same, just divided to 10 differently.

Seems like the sort of thing people should know about a central tenet of a pillar of their identity...

The Lord giveth and taketh away Red Lobster.

The lord didn't take Red Lobster away.

Vulture capitalists did.

No no. That's from the old testament. Those rules don't count anymore now that there is the new testament.

realizes ten commandments are from the old testament

This was done by the jews. I always knew they controlled everything.

More importantly, they'd have to stop the most sacred of Christian traditions: throwing a pigskin around while assaulting each other.

As Moses said, "fuck the Cowboys".
