The Resume

    (circa 1300 BC- )
    Born in Mount Sinai, Egypt
    #2 of the Ten Commandments
    Thou shalt have no other gods before me
    Thou shalt not make unto thee any graven image, or any likeness of any thing that is in heaven above, or that is in the earth beneath, or that is in the water under the earth. Thou shalt not bow down thyself to them, nor serve them: for I the LORD thy God am a jealous God, visiting the iniquity of the fathers upon the children unto the third and forth generation of them that hate me. And shewing mercy unto thousands of them that love me, and keep my commandments

Why Commandment 2: Idols are forbidden! might be annoying:

    Innocent descendants were stoned to death because of things their parents and grandparents did.
    Professor Harry Binswanger asked 'How can you be guilty for something you didn't do?'
    According to this, we are responsible for the sins of our fathers.
    If you have any photos or videos, you are breaking this commandment God needs anger management. God holds a grudge against you on your great grandchildren.
    Isn't God breaking the 10th commandment?
    Accept God as God or else.
    Anglicans and Protestants see this as 2 separate commandments (1-No other God and 2-No idols).

Why Commandment 2: Idols are forbidden! might not be annoying:

    This implies there are other gods.
    Roman Catholics reject this and do not consider it a commandment.
    Christian's justify their graven images as honoring god.
    It is fully accepted by those who accept determinism. There is no freedom of choice just an acceptance of fate.
    The Amish do not take pictures, citing this commandment.
    Images of Jesus Christ and the Virgin Mary, strictly forbidden.
    Muslim's strongly believe that a picture of Muhammad breaks this commandment.
    God just can't help but brag and boast about anything God does.
