I agree with uncertainly on this subject; no one should really be forced to follow any rules unless the broken rule involves the harming of others. I know that's what most of these "commandments" revolve around, but unlike the early Jews, I'm pretty sure we are intelligent enough to remember the "Golden Rule" without writing it down.

I agree.
At most, such a list should be referred to as "Guidlines".
