Oh, I am not saying that the 10 commandments aren't a good idea to follow. I am just saying that if you are going to worship something, and that something tells you how it is gonna be... how can you say you are worshiping them if you won't even follow its 10 simple rules?
Do you know why church for the most part is on Sunday, and not Saturday? Because Constantine, a Pagan Roman sun-worshiper, moved the day of rest to Sunday, and to compete with that the Christian church, at its Council of Laodicea circa 364 CE, ordered that religious observances be moved from Saturday to Sunday.
The "Church" doesn't like competition...
Just look at the Origins of Easter:
The name Easter comes from a pagan figure called Eastre (or Eostre) who was celebrated as the goddess of spring by the Saxons of Northern Europe. A festival called Eastre was held during the Spring equinox by these people to honor her. When second century Christian missionaries wanted the Saxons to accept Christianity, they decided to use the name Easter for this holiday so that it would match the name of the old Spring celebration. This made it more comfortable for those converts to accept Christianity and still retain some of their heritage.
You will be assimilate, resistance is futile.
