No document in history has changed the world for the good more than the 10 Commandments.
Talking Points:
- No document in history has changed the world for the good more than the 10 Commandments. Issues like ending slavery, women’s equality and the idea of democracy wouldn’t have happened without it.
- These commandments help frame a moral society where things like cheating, lying, injustice, and murder are forbidden.
- It does require believing that there is a higher authority who defines morality. Our society can’t operate on the premise that the individual decides what’s right and wrong based on their own opinions and beliefs.
