Should we follow them: yay or nay?
Some of them are just common sense. I think most people follow the most serious ones, like thou shalt not kill, etc.
Interesting though, since the Ten Commandments are from the OT and not the NT, and many Christians claim that they don't follow the OT.
Would you shoot an intruder who came into your house with the intention of harming your family? If yes, you've broken the 6th commandment.
I do not honor commandments #1-4, because I believe in and worship other gods that YHWH. #5, sure, no problem. #6, would not kill under normal circumstances, but some killing is justifiable. #7-10, sure no problem.
Your survey does not offer a legitimate response for people like me.
The Ten Commandments are the legal and moral foundation for Western Civilization. If everyone even remotely followed even parts of it, we wouldn't be having all the wars and suffering. Unfortunately, since we as humans are sinners the Ten Commandments are hard to follow. We all break them several times each day.

Really? You're committing adultery and murdering people several times each day?
Busy boy.

No but coveting, lying, bearing false witness, etc. those are standard, especially in business. Every time you are checking out a married women or even as a married man checking out a woman, you are committing a sin. Do you do any kind of physical or creative work on Saturday or as a Christian on Sunday? If you aren't busy resting and worshiping, then you are committing sin. The Ten Commandments are ideal and what we should aspire to. That's why we as Jews and Christians are constantly asking God for forgiveness.

I don't covet, lie, or bear false witness. I don't check out other men, I am loyal to my spouse. I do not worship your god.
Maybe you should stop asking for forgiveness, and concentrate on living a better life.
Requires people to follow the judeo-christian god? Kinda goes against the 1st Amendment, doesn't it?Should we follow them: yay or nay?
And I know lots and lots of christians who are not really fond of the 8th one.

Speak for yourself. I haven't violated a single Commandment in over half a century. It is easy to follow these simple rules. In fact, you can adhere to the Ten Commandments and have a grand old time. You can fornicate to your heart's desire, drink, smoke pot, gamble, indulge yourself with your favorite foods, watch countless hours of sports on TV, travel the world and engage in every sensual pleasure except for that which involves adultery.
Out of curiosity, which Commandments do you break several times every day? I bet you'll say that "covet" part. The word "covet" means to seriously desire something that belongs to someone else. Maybe you have a problem with that but I do not. Those who have lived a full rich rewarding life covet nothing. Only those who feel lacking covet.
Well I didn't know you are a woman. And you have every right to worship or not worship. I am not a religious person myself but the Ten Commandments are a great set of rules for societies to live by. We as humans do lie and say falsehoods knowingly and unknowingly and I am sure you at times have been jealous, which is natural, but even that is breaking the Ten Commandments. And if you say that you've never lied or coveted something others have then you are lying.
