I have developed the talking points. Take these to your leader.Whoever wants to win this one is going to have to make arguments regarding the fact that the last two Commandments are anti-Capitalist!
There are no laws against coveting, except... oh gosh, these two!
The following is from my notes (I save stuff, this means I can't discard old damaged computing devices.)

@georgehibbs5063 Sure.
The Ten Commandments instruct followers not to covet, or, not to desire goods and things, not to covet other people's people.
Yet, the same people who claim to follow The Ten Commandments also created Capitalism, which requires exploitation to feed greed, and to possess more capital, to covet what others have, to keep up with the Joneses.
Shareholder dividends matter more than human people. The shareholders covet money.
Advertising and marketing create coveting.
No one is taking action to end greed, to end coveting, to end the coveting culture Christianity created.
People like me view people like you as cherry-picking the Bible to find verses that support views that we're fairly certain Jesus is not credited as having said.
The hypocrisy is astounding. We are appalled.
