There's the poll, which is your favorite or most habit forming?
"I am the Lord your God who brought you out of the land of Egypt..." - This commandment is to believe in the existence of God.
"You shall have no other gods besides Me...Do not make a sculpted image or any likeness of what is in the heavens above..."
"You shalt not swear falsely by the name of the Lord..." - This commandment is to never take the name of God in a vain oath. In Exodus, the text reads "in a vain oath" (לא תשא את שם ה' לשוא), while in Deuteronomy it reads "in a false oath" (לא תשא שם ה' לשקר).
"Remember the Sabbath day and keep it holy" (the version in Deuteronomy mentions "Keep" rather than "Remember")
"Honor your father and your mother..." - This commandment is a development when compared to other laws of the Ancient East (for example, the Code of Hammurabi) that do not call for equal respect of the father and the mother.
"You shall not murder" - The Hebrew Bible makes a distinction between murdering and killing (see Jewish interpretation below).
"You shall not commit adultery"
"You shall not steal" (sometimes interpreted as kidnapping, since there are other injunctions against stealing property in the Bible).
"You shall not bear false witness against your neighbor"
"You shall not covet your neighbor's house..." (in Exodus, the text reads "... neighbor's house, ... neighbor's wife, nor his manservant..." etc. while in Deuteronomy, "thy neighbor's wife, ... thy neighbor's house, his field" etc.)
Well, the one I break most often is "Remember the Sabbath day and keep it holy" (by the way, is it referring to Saturday or Sunday there?).
I guess favourite one to break would be "You shall not voet your neighbour's wife", as she's f--king hot.

It's a tight race between "your wife is hot" and taking the lord's name in vain. I'm not an adulterer, but I do like to look, but goddamn do I like to curse. :D

Yeah, that used to be the case for me as well, until this stupid job made me watch my language. Now it's "your wife is hot" by a mile.

It's in vain oath, not in vain! *kills a translator*

Hmm... 3 & 9? Damn, the numbers of the commandments are hard to remember.

Looks like number five is for you, too. I knew there was some hard-boiled posters around.

Isn't it Sunday for Christians and Saturday for Jews? I would have thought that the 10 Commandments (which were written into the Torah first) originally came to refer to Saturday.

Sounds fairly human. Too bad i could only vote one ... ;)

I really, really wanted to vote for "your wife is hot", but seeing as how I use god's name in vain far more often than I've been with another man's wife, #2 was the most honest answer.

Where's the "all of the above" option? (ok, expect for the killing bit, that's a little heavy)

I've killed people, but that was in combat, so according to the Old Testament, that's ok.
I've done the adultery thing, but adultery is actually defined as the taking of a man's property - i.e., women were considered chattel property, in the same way as goats and children. Since I don't believe women are property, I don't view adultery as a sin unless everyone involved was lying about it. So, if everyone is honestly aware and ok with it, it's ok by me.
Coveted a lot when I was young, especially as a child.

I'd have to say all of them, except the parents and killing ones. I'm sure every living soul who uses the Internet is guilty of stealing.;)

My favorite to break is "Thou shalt not kill."

I love finding new ways to kill people and watching them thrash around in agony. It's more fun than necrophilia and bestiality put together.

*monkey noises* I like sex, I like stealing. I like stealing a woman's heart(metaphorically speaking of course) and then ah having sex with her.
