The Ten Commandments are ten laws in the Bible that God gave to the nation of Israel shortly after the exodus from Egypt. The Ten Commandments are essentially a summary of the 600+ commandments contained in the Old Testament Law. The first four commandments deal with our relationship with God. The second six commandments deal with our relationships with one another. The Ten Commandments are recorded in the Bible in Exodus 20:1-17 and Deuteronomy 5:6-21 and are as follows:
(1) “You shall have no other gods before me.” This command is against worshipping any god other than the one true God. All other gods are false gods.
(2) “You shall not make for yourself an idol in the form of anything in heaven above or on the earth beneath or in the waters below. You shall not bow down to them or worship them; for I, the LORD your God, am a jealous God, punishing the children for the sin of the fathers to the third and fourth generation of those who hate me, but showing love to a thousand generations of those who love me and keep my commandments.” This command is against making a idol, a visible representation of God. There is no image we can create that can accurately portray God. To make an idol represent God is to worship a false god.
(3) “You shall not misuse the name of the LORD your God, for the LORD will not hold anyone guiltless who misuses His name.” This is a command against taking the name of the Lord in vain. We are not to treat God’s name lightly. We are to show reverence to God by only mentioning Him in respectful and honoring ways.
(4) “Remember the Sabbath day by keeping it holy. Six days you shall labor and do all your work, but the seventh day is a Sabbath to the LORD your God. On it you shall not do any work, neither you, nor your son or daughter, nor your manservant or maidservant, nor your animals, nor the alien within your gates. For in six days the LORD made the heavens and the earth, the sea, and all that is in them, but he rested on the seventh day. Therefore the LORD blessed the Sabbath day and made it holy.” This is a command to set aside the Sabbath (Saturday, the last day of the week) as a day of rest dedicated to the Lord.
(5) “Honor your father and your mother, so that you may live long in the land the LORD your God is giving you.” This is a command to always treat our parents with honor and respect.
(6) “You shall not murder.” This is a command against the premeditated murder of another human being.
(7) “You shall not commit adultery.” This is a command against have sexual relations with anyone other than your spouse.
(8) “You shall not steal.” This is a command against taking anything that does not belong to us without the permission of the person to whom it belongs.
(9) “You shall not give false testimony against your neighbor.” This is a command against testifying against another person falsely. It is essentially a command against lying.
(10) “You shall not covet your neighbor's house. You shall not covet your neighbor's wife, or his manservant or maidservant, his ox or donkey, or anything that belongs to your neighbor.” This is a command against desiring anything that does not belong to you. Coveting can lead to breaking one of the commandments listed above: murder, adultery, and theft. If it is wrong to do something, it is wrong to desire to do that same something.

Homework is given:
1) so that you'll have a guilty conscience about not doing it,
2) So that you'll get your mind off sex,
3) So that you'll be quiet for a change,
4) So that you MIGHT learn something.
If you have a hard time believing in the Ten Commandments when they are so visible, how would I explain them to you so that you'll understand? They were Ten Commandments written in stone and setting a covenant as reported between God and the Hebrews.
Why is that so hard to understand? You don't have to believe that they have any bearing on you to understand what they are! Open up your mind just a little bit! I can understand why a formula one race car will go faster than other cars without knowing how to make one! Sheesh!

Because homework is required by college and real work.
I have to design things at home for my job. That's homework.
Unless you JUST want to stock shelves at K-Mart
You want an advanced college degree so you can make $50K a year starting, you need to do an independent project that might take 2 years of your life.
That's REAL home work!
As for the 10 commandments, you want someone to come and steal your computer
You want someone to come and kill you in your sleep
You want the guy next door to undress you with his eyes and fantaise about doing you
You want your boyfriend to kiss other girls and sleep with them
If you say NO to any or all of these then you ACCEPT most of the important 10 commandments.
Otherwise don't complain when you catch your boyfriend kissing some little cheerleader behind your back, you come home and find no computer on your desk and your parents won't replace it immediately and if the guy next door hits on you don't complain to anyone.

where's your grammar?
anyway, how can you call the 10 commandments crap when your asking what they are? idiot
And they CAN go to God for forgiveness (the whole freaking point of jesus's death) with sincere hearts and repentance.
everyone has homework, in school or out of school. it's for our benefit. in college you get homeowrk that is optional, but most people do it because it's for your own benefit. if you play tennis you have "homeowrk" by practicing, you just don't see it as homeowrk because you enjoy it
grow up a litte, reead more of the bible then start accusing us of stuff.
ha. i love commone sense's answer, and i completley agree with him/her

Christians are also ignorant against Homosexuals when God taught them that God accepts all.
Students have homework unfortunately( though there is some homework that is fun), so we can educate ourselves eventhough Math/s never educated me one bit!

Homework gives you an opportunity to practice and reinforce what you learned in class. It's good for you. It also teaches you discipline.
(I know you're telling me to f___ off, but I'm right.)
