Thanks.
As Richard Dawkins pointed out only last week (on our Channel 2's ' Q&A' programme) The Torah is full of moral absolutes. They are called 'Mosaic Law', "The Law', 'The Commandments' , or 'The Mitzvot'. Believers claim they were given to Moses by God. There are 613. Christian moral absolutes are based on a somewhat edited list of ten.
Quote:The 613 Mitzvot (Hebrew: תרי"ג מצוות: Taryag Mitzvot, "613 commandments") are statements and principles of law and ethics contained in the Torah or Five Books of Moses. These principles of Biblical law are sometimes called commandments (mitzvot) or collectively as the "Law of Moses" (Torat Moshe, תורת משה), "Mosaic Law", or simply "the Law" (though these terms are ambiguous and also applied to the Torah itself).
