You got me wrong. The Ten Commandments STILL STAND!! This IS what we will be Judged by! GOD cannot take-back or break any covenant or agreement made with man. We will fall-short of the commandments of course, henceforth ... we need ... a SAVIOR!
We will fall short because the standards are impossible to achieve for humans that were created broken by Biblegod. We will even be judged for the thought crime of coveting things, our neighbors' cattle, their slaves, their wives and so on. And the only way out of a doomed afterlife is to submit to this god, mind and spirit, and spend our lives as slaves. The game was rigged from the start.
In all religious reality, not religious fantasy, that's in fact the greatest commandment, that you're screwed so suck it up and just be a good slave. I say religious reality because I'm assuming that a religious person can also make rational observations and form rational conclusions, at least some of the time.
We've had enough discussion about how religious people spend 99.9999% of their lives doing wholly non-religious things, that their behavior is no different herein from anyone atheist. They undertake a bit of what they perceive to be good-luck-bringing behavior otherwise, but not much, which consists primarily of talking the talk. Big woot. And this is a good thing, not a bad thing.
The essential behavioral difference is that they possess and use a religious vocabulary of fantasy words. Again, big woot.
