You shall have no other Gods but me.

- too many words. Who the hell is me?

You shall not make for yourself any idol, nor bow down to it or worship it.

- I make any idol I want and do with it as I want, what I shall not do is to tell others what to do with it.

You shall not misuse the name of the Lord your God.

- if misuse means to use it as if it refers to a real thing, then fine.

You shall remember and keep the Sabbath day holy.

- no I won't.

Respect your father and mother.

- that really depends a lot on the father and mother in question

You must not commit murder.

- probably observable.

You must not commit adultery.

- probably not.

You must not steal.

- right. I do want to get ahead and I do live in a capitalist system now headed by trump

You must not give false evidence against your neighbor.

- give evidence?

You must not be envious of your neighbour's goods. You shall not be envious of his house nor his wife, nor anything that belongs to your neighbor.

- what else is capitalism good for?
