Bill Maher:
But it's not really a wise list of the ten. The first four are about just worshiping God, and, basically, a jealous god. And he doesn't want you to have any other gods. The only two that are really laws are: don't steal and don't kill. Why is this the wisest group of ten that doesn't include child abuse; it doesn't include don't torture; it doesn't include a lot of things, rape, that, I think, if I were making a list today, we would probably include. Mark Pryor:
[Arkansas' Democratic Senator]
Society is so different today. Our Society is so radically different... Bill Maher:
And that's what I'm asking. We're in a different culture. Can you think of anything else that we still cleave to from the Bronze Age? Mark Pryor:
Well... [speechless]
