What the Bible says about lying?

[Genki Hikari]

18. Most of the ten rules are useless

Thou shalt have no other gods before me - It would be a violation of the 1A to make this a law.

Thou shalt not make unto thee any graven image - It would be a violation of the 1A to make this a law.

Thou shalt not take the name of the Lord thy G-d in vain - It would be a violation of the 1A to make this a law.

Remember the sabbath day, to keep it holy - It would be a violation of the 1A to make this a law.

Honour thy father and thy mother - Not legally binding in the least; may even violate 1st Amendment free expression and free association provisions.

Thou shalt not kill - Laws do prohibit this, but that's universal, not unique to Abrahamic cultures.

Thou shalt not commit adultery - Not universally a binding law, and, even where it is official statue in the West, it's rarely enforced.

Thou shalt not steal - Laws do prohibit this, but that's universal, not unique to Abrahamic cultures.

Thou shalt not bear false witness against thy neighbour - Limited legal applicability (perjury, defamation, libel, slander, fraud), but for politics and garden variety lying? Few if any laws at all.

Thou shalt not covet - ZERO laws, and even actively prevented from becoming law in most of the world, because capitalism could not exist if this were illegal.

So two of them are actual law, and one of them has limited enforcement. The rest are either ignored or illegal in and of themselves, at least in the US.

So why bother with such a useless "guide" to life?
