More Honoured In the Breach

Thou shalt have no other gods Atheists abandon God Let there be no other idols We worship at the altar of Mammon. No taking the name of the Lord in vain Christ,can you believe it? Remember that thou keep holy the Sabbath day What other time is there for shopping? Honour thy father and mother. What else are nursing homes for? Thou shalt not kill. Let us exclude abortion and euthanasia. Thou shalt not commit adultery Fornication now comes in many sophisticated forms. Thou shalt not steal Bankers' bonuses by another name Thou shalt not bear false witness Just don't get caught Thou shalt not covet thy neighbour's goods How else can we keep up with the Joneses?
