47. To that end, if you were raised religious, what form of the Ten Commandments did you learn?

I didn't realize until later that the Catholic, Protestent and Jewish faiths all have different versions of the 10 Commandments.

Which is why I find it comical when some people insist on displaying the 10 Commandments on public grounds: Which version?
