Yes, in far more societies where they never heard of your tablets murder was and is immoral.
Quote: Or what about "Do not commit adultery!" Was it acceptable by society to cheat on your spouse?
Taking the wife of someone else is also considered immoral in different societies, including those that are not monotheistic.
You seem to assume that previous to the dead sea scrolls everyone was just lusting and murdering around, do you honestly think that?
Quote:Just because it is in some old text doesn't prove any divine intervention dictating it.
Quote:I never claimed to have proof that the LORD actually spoke to Moses, and commanded him to write down these Laws. I think we should respect those laws as moral guidelines on the human race.
I see nothing in the 10 commandments that are not "Well Duh!" laws.
I don't want my stuff stolen. My neighbor doesn't either. We as a group determine that stealing is wrong and we will punish anyone in our group that does steal from us. I don't need a stone tablet for that.
Quote:Why do you think Federal Government Judges, and Supreme Court Justices still have the 10 Commandments in their Courtroom? They believe it's a standard to all moral and decent laws addressed to mankind.
And what about Japanese judges? Or Indonesian? Or are their laws less than your scripture?
