A survey of 1,000 Americans, by Kelton Research, showed 80 percent could name the Big Mac's primary ingredient – two all-beef patties – but less than 60 percent recalled the commandment “Thou shalt not kill.” The survey also found just 45 percent could recall the commandment “Honor your father and mother” while 76 percent remembered the Big Mac ingredient lettuce, 75 percent sesame-seed bun, 66 percent special sauce, 62 percent pickles and 60 percent cheese. Even Americans who say they go to church once a week had difficulty naming all of the commandments. Among churchgoers, 70 percent recalled “Thou shalt not kill,” listed as “You shall not kill” in the survey, and 69 percent remembered “You shall not steal.” The survey participants also had an easier time remembering the names of the six children on the old TV series “The Brady Bunch.” The least remembered children, Bobby and Peter, were named by 43 percent of Americans. The two commandments least recalled by survey participants were to keep the Sabbath holy, 34 percent, and have no other gods besides God, 29 percent.

Here, from the perennially popular King James Version, is the Ten Commandments in Exodus 20:

1.       Thou shalt have no other gods before me.

2.       Thou shalt not make unto thee any graven image.

3.       Thou shalt not take the name of the Lord thy God in vain.

4.       Remember the sabbath day, to keep it holy.

5.       Honour thy father and thy mother, that thy days may be long upon the land which the Lord thy God giveth thee.

6.       Thou shalt not kill.

7.       Thou shalt not commit adultery.

8.       Thou shalt not steal.

9.       Thou shalt not bear false witness against thy neighbour.

10.   Thou shalt not covet thy neighbour's house, thou shalt not covet thy neighbour's wife, nor his manservant, nor his maidservant, nor his ox, nor his ass, nor anything that is thy neighbour's.

A survey said this astonishing fact: Over 88 percent of American homes contain a Bible. In fact, the average is 4.7 copies per household. Yet nearly nobody studies it, and far less memorize it. How many commandments do you know? Remember this truth from God to from Moses, and then to the children of Israel. "Hear, O Israel: The Lord our God is one Lord: And thou shalt love the Lord thy God with all thine heart, and with all thy soul, and with all thy might. And these words, which I command thee this day, shall be in thine heart: And thou shalt teach them diligently unto thy children, and shalt talk of them when thou sittest in thine house, and when thou walkest by the way, and when thou liest down, and when thou risest up." Deut 6:4-7 In doing so they received the Aaronic blessing:

The Lord bless you and keep you;
the Lord make his face to shine upon you, and be gracious to you;
the Lord lift up his countenance upon you, and give you peace. (Num. 6:24-26)
