FIVE: 'Honor your father and your mother.'

SIX: 'You shall not murder.'

SEVEN: 'You shall not commit adultery.'

EIGHT: 'You shall not steal.'

NINE: 'You shall not bear false witness against your neighbor.'

those are the laws. You have the 'choice' to follow them, or not.
If a person had no choice there, there would be no need to list.

it's not the list. it's who makes the list.

I'm not sure what you're talking about, or getting at.
A person also has the choice of following/worshiping god, or not.

 

[Gato_Solo]

it's not quite clear to me either.

Its in the article. Quite self-explanatory, too.

There's no mention of an aisle or people accusing anyone of being bigots in that article.

i'm talking about who has the power to make such proclamations. here. on earth. that's the important part. all the other shit is culturally/historically arbitrary. don't matter if it's some god stuff or 55mph. that's all. nothing fancy.

well I personally go by the King James version for what I believe was inspired by God.

the Greek text which stands behind the King James Bible is demonstrably inferior in certain places. The man who edited the text was a Roman Catholic priest and humanist named Erasmus.1 He was under pressure to get it to the press as soon as possible since (a) no edition of the Greek New Testament had yet been published, and (b) he had heard that Cardinal Ximenes and his associates were just about to publish an edition of the Greek New Testament and he was in a race to beat them. Consequently, his edition has been called the most poorly edited volume in all of literature! It is filled with hundreds of typographical errors which even Erasmus would acknowledge.
