<<For example many spiritual people don't believe in the 10 Commandments (that these were some divine life-edict layed down by God, I mean).>> Interesting, which ones do you find problematic? I could guess but I'm almost certain you would be offended if I did.

For example many spiritual people don't believe in the 10 Commandments And there are different conflicting versions of those commandments depending on which chapter and which translation you choose. The one I get a kick out of is rule number one Thou shalt have no other Gods before me which is a clear implication that the author believed in more than one God but was demanding that this particular Jehova be deemed the alpha God. Jealous of Zeus I would imagine. Later sects got so worried about more than one God being around that they came up with the concept of a scizophrenic trinity of personalities to explain the multiple encarnations of their God and why he talked to himself. I think most people who think about it would laugh until they remembered that has often gotten people burned a the stake. TP
