    Ah, yes. Very foundational to our legal system. The First Commandment (using the version usually touted by evangelicals):

      Given our political attitude towards Muslims, Hindus, Atheists, and Pagans, I honestly don’t detect a lie.

      The next four Commandments to round out the top five are foundational to our legal system, although none of these prohibitions is actually enshrined in any of our laws:

      1. You shall not make idols.
      2. You shall not take the name of the Lord your God in vain.
      3. Remember the Sabbath day, to keep it holy.
      4. Honour your father and your mother.
