Very convincing. Makes me completely want to put myself under government control. Please take me to where you can make me unconscious and naked.

It's five thousand for kissing, ten thousand for snuggling... End of list.
Well, no one says you have to know the commandments in order; I don't even know all the Bill of Rights.

Well not canonically, no, but this is transformative fiction.

I do. Otherwise "fifth commandment" is meaningless shorthand. And lord knows, people do use that shorthand.

Unusually and exceedingly peculiar and altogether quite impossible to describe

We have the right to P-A-R-T-Y!!! (I know that because we had to fight, for our right, to P-A-R-T-Y!!!)

Now tagless for your comfort.

I only know the Preamble, thanks to School House Rock. If they'd have done one on the Bill of Rights, I'd be able to sing it.

Yes, Judaism has a rich and evolving history of struggling with these issues and, of course, it recognizes that these stories apply to a particular time and a particular people. The same can not be said for fundamentalist Christians.
I talked about Christians in the first paragraph. I really don't think the literalist who are loudest in our current culture are the majority of christians now or ever.
You never see Tele-Rabbis condemning Lutheran kids in North Dakota for eating cheeseburgers. Cheeseburgers have to do with their way of worshiping God.
No, you don't, because Judaism doesn't seek converts. But within Jewish communities there is certainly that sort of pressure to follow the rules.

Sir, it's not an offence to let your cat eat your bacon. Okay? And we don't arrest cats, I'm very sorry.

That's the one about not incriminating yourself, right?
