Hey! I just saw the 10 Commandments movie! I loved it. It was relieving to see a film that was fully animated- telling a story of the Bible.

As I was searching for showtimes I came across The Ten Commandments Challenge (www.10commandmentschallenge.org)... which gives some stats about Americans & their knowledge of the commandments... check it out:
---------------------
10 Commandments Study
(9/2007 Kelton Research and 10 Commandments Commission)

* 35% of American's can recall all six Brady kids from the Brady Bunch

* 25% could name all seven ingredients of the Big Mac®

* Only 14% can accurately name all Ten Commandments

* 80 percent of American's know "two all beef patties" of the Big Mac®. "Thou shalt not kill," was known to fewer than six in ten Americans.

* 62 percent know that pickles are an ingredient of a McDonald's® Big Mac® hamburger.

* Less than half (45 %) can recall the commandment to "Honor thy father and mother."

* The vast majority of Americans can easily name the primary ingredients in a Big Mac®: two all beef patties (80%), lettuce (76%), sesame seed bun (75%), special sauce (66%) pickles (62%), and cheese (60%).

* Seven of the Ten Commandments are familiar to less than half of Americans, including the more commonly recited, "Honor thy father and thy mother," and "Remember the Sabbath."

* Bobby and Peter, the least-recalled names from the Brady Bunch (43%), were more familiar to Americans than the least-recalled commandments, "Remember the Sabbath" (34 %) and "Do not make any false idols" (29 %).

* Even those who attend a place of worship at least once a week have a bit of trouble naming all ten. "Thou shalt not kill" (70%) and "Thou shalt not steal" (69%) are still less top-of-mind with this group than the top two ingredients in a Big Mac® - two all beef patties (79%) and lettuce (76%).
