Ojuice5001: Very sharp observation, yes, while Yahweh is number one, we can still talk to the God/deity of wind to help us. We don't th entire cosmos in motion, just the wind right here.

Imagine a Hindu walks into a church a sees teh bible and looks into it.

The first thing he comes across is the 10 c's

As he reads it:

1. I am the Lord thy God. Thou shall not have strange gods before me.

The hindu replies: I have only one God. Their are lesser deities liek Kali and so on. But I will not hold them before You.

Ishwara-Pranidhana: Surrender to God/Light/Energy of the Universe

I see it is the same. Good.

2. Thou shall not take the name of the Lord thy God in vain.

Shaucha: Purity/Clarity

3. Remember thou keep the Sabbath Day.

Tapas: Austerity

4. Honour thy Father and thy Mother.

(Swadhyaya: Self-Education, Study )

5. Thou shall not kill.

Ahimsa - non-violence

6. Thou shall not commit adultery.

Brachmacharya - moderation, selfconstraint

7. Thou shall not steal.

Asteya - non-stealing

8. Thou shall not bear false witness against thy neighbour.

Satya - truthfullness

9. Thou shall not covet thy neighbour's wife.

Aparigraha - Non-Possessiveness

10. Thou shall not covet thy neighbour's goods.

Santosha: Contentment

The hindu sees that the main idea of this bible and says, this book seems divinely inspired. God surely speaks to all humans.

So if you were thinking of having baby goat boiled in it's own mothers milk for a late afternoon snack forgetaboutit.

Dammit! I had my baby goat and a boiling cauldron of its mothers milk all ready to go. I was hoping there wasn't some obscure ban against my plan for boiled baby goat - too bad there is. Perhaps I'll just boil it in some 2% from Safeway.

The group of commandments that bans cream of baby goat soup is, interestingly enough, the only group that the Bible actually calls "The Ten Commandments."
