Maybe Just a Semantic Confusion :)

In Response To: SIMPLISTIC & INACCURATE (Nemesis)
: Morality, especially Christian morality (10 commandments,
: etc.) HOW'S THAT WORKING OUT FOR MANKIND.
: You can impose by law anything that you want, but it doesn't
: change human nature. It only changes conduct to avoid
: punishment.
D'Souza wasn't talking about imposing anything by law. He was talking about a shared understanding of a certain "code" that was "the standard which one tries to measure up to in one's living".
The Ten Commandments can be viewed as a guide, handed down to a people (the Children of Israel) who were just coming out of slavery, a condition in which everything was indeed imposed upon them from the outside, so that they were unaccustomed to making decisions for themselves.
On that basis the Commandments could have been subtitled, "A Guide to Avoiding Big Trouble and Living Peacefully Together", one that acknowledges possible human nature impulses and the conditioned mental state of ones just now exiting the slave experience.
For example, "Yes, from time to time you may feel angry and like you'd want to kill someone. However, don't do that; it won't be nice and it won't turn out well, for that person, for you, and for the whole community." Implied: "Begin to learn self-control, as opposed to trying to impose control on what's outside of you in a way you imagine would be to your individual liking."
