Even Catholics and Protestants have (slightly) different versions of the commandments.
I think the main differences are in which ones they choose to ignore.

Well, at least they have some guidelines, many are trying to live by them and they are aware of their failures.

'Twas but a joke.

Not a great joke, but it is consistent.
Anytime someone says Catholic, he says - Catholics are not perfect because they don't obey all the rules.
It's not much of a joke, but I guess some think the irony is hilarious.
People fail, then get up and try again, over and over, it is kind of like slapstick I guess.

My apologies if my little joke didn't meet your high standards at humour. Next time I'll try writing the same single word response over and over. That's always an absolute hoot.

I was recently chastised for not treating the holocaust with the proper respect, and I've learned and grown from the experience. I think we can all learn a valuable lesson here as well.

I don’t recall any of that.

Are you trying to be funny?

The Texas Senate on Tuesday advanced bills that would require public school classrooms to display the Ten Commandments and allow districts to provide students with time to pray during school hours.
Senators gave final approval to Senate Bill 11, the school prayer bill, on a 23-7 vote. It now heads to the Texas House for consideration. All Republican senators and three Democrats — Royce West of Dallas, Judith Zaffirini of Laredo and Juan Hinojosa of McAllen — voted for the bill.
Lawmakers also gave initial approval to Senate Bill 10, the Ten Commandments bill, on a 20-10 vote. Both proposals are on Lt. Gov. Dan Patrick’s list of priority bills this session.

It's nice to see Texas stepping up to the plate to address gun violence, which I think we can all acknowledge is a massive problem in the US, particularly in the south.
Next time there's a school shooter they'll be able to point at the sign saying 'thou shalt not kill' and the whole thing will be taken care of'.

Hindi kids have had them for a few thousand years. My coworker has one on his desk.

And Texas is busy taking such items away?

That's impossible, you know. Jesus existed before the foundations of the world.
