If you do any study you find the 10 Commandments are written in the style of treaties from that time period. Two copies were made (on stone, because the point of a treaty is for it to LAST) and one copy would be place at the foot of the king's throne so he could keep it in mind, then the other copy would be placed at the foot of the god so he or she would also enforce it.Tell me that retard that called a statue of the Ten Commandments a 'graven image' has NO IDEA what a graven image is or what it is for, without telling me that retard has no fucking clue what 'idolatry' actually is. If writing the ten commandments on stone was an idolatry, Moses would never have brought anything down from the mountain. The Commandments are not to worship, ffs. They're rules from God. Sure, Moses brought 'em down from the mountain, but God wrote them. The policy against "graven images" was an injunction against worshipping Other gods. The Ten Commandments in stone is not a deity in and of itself. These Atheism+ retards are sooooo fucking dumb.
Both copies being placed in the Ark of the Covenant- the footstool of the throne of YHWH - is symbolic of how He is to be both Israel's king and god.
Also graven images covers God Himself too. The golden calf was supposed to be a representation of YHWH and we all saw how much He did not like that.
Anyway it triggers me how much reddit atheists will completely misunderstand the Bible then mock it as if their stupidity is its fault.
