A Critique on the Ten Commandments

 Most Christians will agree that The Ten Commandments are the most perfect set of moral rules ever created. This is old news to a lot of people but I think that for a lot of the people that read this it might not be. The Ten Commandments have nothing to say about 

child molestation

rape

genocide

slavery

homophobia

women's, gay, whoever's rights in general


Also, people like to say that the Old Testament is not really the thing you should follow but that's where the Ten Commandments show up. Why are people saying both? Maybe the argument is that the Ten Commandments are so powerful they supercede whatever Covenant they happen to be in but I don't think most people are thinking that far. 

Basically, the thing needs to be updated. These are Bronze Age rules. We need something a little newer than that.
