Yes, I am a Christian. I am also 62 years old and have not been a Christian all of that time -- I had to learn the hard way that God did mean they were The TEN COMMANDMENTS, and not the "ten suggestions". They pretty well sum up my moral code, though there's a LOT more, especially in the second part of the Book!
(We will probably get redirected to "Faith", so if you want to continue this why don't you just post to me over there?)
