The Ten Commandments

Pigweed and Crowhill discuss the Ten Commandments and their role in the modern world.

Where did we get them, and why do they have such an influence on our understanding of morality?

Why are so few of the commandments reflected in our laws?

Why do Jews, Protestants, and Catholics number them differently? And are there conflicting versions of the commandments in the Bible?

What role did Moses play in the commandments? And what the heck is the Pentateuch?
