The Absurdity of the 10 Commandments

We are constantly told that the Ten Commandments are the ultimate bedrock of human morality. They are held up as the perfect, divine laws given to humanity by an all-knowing creator. But what happens when we actually read them? Not with reverence, but with logic, historical context, and a modern ethical lens?
In this deep dive, we deconstruct the Ten Commandments one by one, revealing them not as eternal moral truths, but as the outdated, tribal rules of a Bronze Age society.
We analyze why the first four commandments are entirely focused on soothing the ego of a jealous deity rather than helping human beings. We look at the horrifying implications of treating women as property in the commandment against coveting. We expose the massive hypocrisy of a "thou shalt not kill" rule given by a god who ordered genocide.
Most importantly, we ask the hard questions about what is missing from this supposed perfect list. Why did the creator of the universe forbid engraving statues but forget to forbid slavery? Why is there no commandment against rape or child abuse?
It is time to stop pretending that these ancient tablets are the pinnacle of ethics. Modern secular morality, based on empathy and reason, has far surpassed these primitive rules. Join us as we explore the absurdity of the Ten Commandments.
