I was listening to George Carlin's rant about the 10 commandments. Funny-ness aside, I think he has a point.
Suggesting that 'thou shall not commit adultery' and 'thou shall not covet thy neighbour's wife' could both be combined into just one for example, into:
'Thou shall always be faithful'
That most definitely works. It puts across the exact same message and implications, but with fewer words so it's easier to remember and follow.
How can a mere man, like George Carlin, come up with a more efficient way of doing things then God? Surely God would have realised he could have cut them down himself (knowing everything).
