The 10 Commandments (JST translation)

1. Thou shalt have no other God's before me, except my God, thine grandfather God, and his God and so on, but not whilst thou toil in this mortal existence. For now, I am thy God and I am a jealous God, so watch thine ass.
2. Thou shalt not make into thee any graven images except temples, which are allowed and bring glory to those who attend.
3. Thou shalt not take the name of the Lord thy God in vain, nor shalt thou profane thine mouth with other banality. If thou art tempted to profane, thou shalt employ euphemisms such as fetch, dagnabbit, and gosh darn, which all pleaseth the Lord.
4. Remember the Sabbath day and keep it holy, though thou mayest watch contests of sport after thou hast attended to mine sacraments, provided that participants of the sport have taken their holy garments within my temples or have attended higher halls of learning from my institutions.
5. Honor thine father and mother, unless they separate to find conjoinment with those of the same sex, in which case thou shalt disavow them with great prejudice.
6. Thou shalt not kill, unless a whole nation may dwindle in unbelief.
7. Thou shalt not commit adultery, unless thou immediately take that women as a spiritual wife.
8. Thou shalt not steal but thou shalt make as much money as possible and give freely to mine house, for inasmuch as thou gain wealth for my sake shalt thine brothers and sisters understand your worthiness, and the wealth of mine house shall grow in abundance until that time when I cometh.
9. Thou shall not bear false witness, unless it is to bear testimony of me, for I will forgive thine lies and thine exaggerations if they be given with a pure heart for the purposes of building my kingdom.
10. Thou shalt not covet thy neighbor's ass, but should thy covet thy neighbor's wife's ass, thou might call thy neighbor on a mission abroad.
