"I am the lord thy god, and thou shalt have no other gods before me."
I'm atheist, so...
Hope this answers your question. :)

Love God above all else, not strictly 10 commandments, rather a summary, but it is so easy to be distracted and follow other things rather than Him
by MrJosh on November 19th, 2009
Either of the coveting commandments. Seriously, who doesn't desire something else from time to time. It is the basis of capitalism. My neighbor has a nice new lawn mower, I go over an talk with him. Wow, I wish I had one like that.

Honor thy father and mother can be difficult for a lot of teenagers.

You shall have no other gods before me. When I break any of the other nine, I also am breaking that one.
by Worzel on October 30th, 2007
None, I feel they are down to interpretation and I have never done anything really in a bad enough way to consider a commandment broken.
by DreAnna on June 18th, 2007
broke ..1 2 3 4 5 and 10..going to hell on the fast track..LOL :)

Though shalt not swear.
Though shalt not worship false Idols. (Is that one, or is that an Islamic one?)
I probably break these two the most.
by Jessicax23 on January 23rd, 2007
You might want to specify which set you are referring to. The list that often gets that title is not the one actually referred to as commandments in the bible.

#3 - Dont take the Lords name in vain....Those words God dammit are always slipping out. I need to work on that.

Everyday I break the first 4. >:)~
by DancingTraveler on October 30th, 2007
Depending on your interpretation of them...over the course of my life I believe I've broken eight.
I have not commited murder and I have not commited adultery.
A couple of them are if-fy...so it may be fewer.
by Doggie S on October 30th, 2007
One.
Remember the Sabbath, to keep it Holy.
I treat that day as an ordinary one.
by Anonymous on June 18th, 2007
I plea the fifth and will opt to keep that between me and my maker.

I grew up in a home with the ten commandments posted on the kitchen wall. Now I practice yoga and like Hindu philosophy (& Buddhism & Sufi & Taoism). So I've adopted the eastern ways.
There are so many different gods in Hinduism, so that strikes me as a big break.
However, I'm not really breaking the commandments, since I no longer practice my birth religion.

We all break the Ten Commandments, all of us, all of them. There is only one person who ever kept them totally and that was Jesus Christ. The purpose of them was to show the Jewish people, and from them to all humanity, what God's perfect society would be like. But God knew humans couldn't keep them because humans are rebels from birth. That is why Jesus was sent, to pay the price for our shortfalls with his death on the Cross.
When I was young, I thought that if I kept them all, that would make me a good person and perhaps God would let me into heaven, but the more I tried, the more I realised that I could not keep them. They were a beautiful ideal, but one I fell short of, starting with Number 1.
When it was explained to me that the sacrifice of Jesus covered sin (rebellion, disobedience) and that by Jesus' death I could be restored into fellowship with God, as if I had never sinned, then the burden of not being able to keep the commandments fell away. Now, I want to keep them and dedicate my life to being transformed into the image of the One who did keep them, Jesus.

3: "Do not subject God's name to your casual swearing, that you may appear righteous, pious, or to attain credibility among the people." (2:224)
by Chaysgirl24 on October 30th, 2007
Probably just about all of them! :O)
by Sheepingly needs no handy men only hugs on October 30th, 2007
I think I have broken 3-4 of them.
by Snowman on October 30th, 2007
9 out of 10. :o(

To break one of them is to break them all (James 2:10).

Thank you and God bless you!
by AntigoneRising on May 1st, 2007
I guess the one about having no other gods but Yahweh. I don't pay much attention to whether or not I'm violating the Ten Commandments.
by Glenn Blaylock on October 30th, 2007
[Exaggerated look of innocence] Who me? I have never broken any of the commandments. ;-)
by DJ Butter jetpacking up up and away on October 30th, 2007
I just looked and counted. I have broken 6.

What are they to start with ?
by Meow Meow 1BadMutha TBMF on October 30th, 2007
9-ish.
by -O-uknow on October 30th, 2007
A few.
by Quackers on October 30th, 2007
I have never coveted my neighbors oxen
I have never killed (a human anyway)
I have never stolen
umm.... what are the rest?
by Friartuck on January 5th, 2010
All of 'em! I don't have any gods. My idols aren't supernatural beings. I work on Sundays. I've had neighbours whose asses I have coveted many times. I stole things when I was a kid. The list goes on...
Do you think a person can follow two religions with same faith?

Ankhorite, you stole my answer so you broke "thou shalt not steal" too! ;) And here I am coveting my "neighbor"'s answer....
by LynfromNM on June 18th, 2007
LOL, Lyn, you're right, of course! It's the eternal lake of fire for us, I'm afraid. Bring the marshmallows, okay?
