Or do you say "Polytheism is the belief in many goshes"?

Since we may already be PARFy, I've got a question for ya: Look it up where...on tablet number one that Moses brought down? Which begs a couple of questions: Why don't folks of the Jewish faith and Muslims (both worshiping the God of Abraham) only have 9 commandments, and why didn't that 3rd commandment have folks scratching their heads for a few thousand years if Max's perspective is NOT what it means
