The 10 Commandments apparently mentions absolutely nothing about protecting children from abuse. (lemmy.world)

Interesting perspective. But yeah it seems like they danced all around the subject altogether.

    Just as they don't mention animal abuse, those morals don't keep people in line.

    Indeed, and really there ought to be a few more commandments, such as:

    'Thou shalt not abuse earthly environmental resources beyond necessity'

    Or something like that anyways. Really, if there's only 10 commandments, they should be simplified and boiled down to only a couple or few commandments or so that encapsulate them all, as the late George Carlin presented..

    Here's another one based on the general conversation here:

    Thou shalt not exploit or abuse a vulnerable person or creature.

    Open to some interpretation, of course. But concise enough to cover the brush strokes if those who are obsessed with the Ten Commandments were to really follow through on implementing them.

    I'd replace 'a vulnerable' with simply 'any', to be more broad about it, almost nobody deserves abuse.

    Well, except serial killers, cannibals, leaders that orchestrate genocide, etc. in the worst of the worst fields of evil people. I'm not God, I'll turn a blind eye to giving them a dose of their own medicine..
