You are very right.
Even Jesus said, "I came to fulfill the law" meaning the 10 Commandments, I just wonder why he reduced it to two and then directly reversed most of what was said in the Old Testament. even breaking the Sabbath Law.

The problem is nobody can agree what the exact 10 commandments are. There are so many interpretations of all of them.
But no, state and religion are best separated.

Yeah, then we could kill people for working on Sunday (or Saturday) like the 10 Commandments in the bible teach us to do.

No, because this country is fundamentalistic enough already. Imagine how it would be if that would happen. Horrible!!!
Although many pretend that all americans are christians, many of them are really of different faith (like me), and we would not like to live under a religious law. Look at the islamic countries with their sharia, it would be like that!

Absolutely not. If they were so easy to follow, why don't more people follow them? Besides, breaking those commandments have some very inflexible penalties.

Do you have ANY idea how much damage would be done in a single day without a Vehicle Code?

No. It would create an illegally hostile work environment for lawyers and politiicans. No false witness? No coveting? Love thy neighbor? No adultery?
Sorry, government couldn't function. Christianity would die off if people had to love their neighbors.

yes, if every one followed the commandments to day there would not be no one getting killed or hurt, everyone would be a lot happier.

No. What about financial considerations? The disabled? Traffic? Drugs? Or... people who aren't Jewish or Chirstian?

if that were the case, then:
- we would have people arrested for adultery
- we would have teenagers arrested for not respecting parents
- we would have rapists raped, thieves stolen from.
- I would be charged with coveting my neighbor's mighty fine @ss.
