A new survey shows that more Americans know about the ingredients of a Mc Donald's Big Mac than they do about the Ten Commandments. One thousand people took the questionnaire by Kelton research Company, it showed that 80% could name the burger's main ingredient of two all-beef patties, but less than 60% could recall the commandment of "Thou (You) shalt not kill." The survey found that many knew of the big Mac's ingredients, while few knew many if any of the Ten Commandments.
A new survey shows that more Americans know about the ingredients of a Mc Donald's Big Mac that they do about the Ten Commandments. The Big Mac commercial song and jingle of "two all beef patties, special sauce, lettuce, cheese, pickles, onions on a sesame seed bun" began in 1969 and lasted up until 2003 in some form or another here in America, and in many parts of the world. One thousand people took the questionnaire by Kelton Research Company, it showed that 80% could name the burger's main ingredient of two all-beef patties, but less than 60% could recall the commandment of "Thou (You) shalt not kill."

The survey also found that just 45% could remember the command to "Honor your father and mother" while 76% knew the Big Mac ingredients of lettuce, 66% of special sauce, 62% of pickles and 60% cheese. It's astounding when that in a so-called Christian society knows more about pickles and sesame seeds in a Big Mac, than the Ten commandments. Many laws in our culture are directly based on the Ten commandments. This shows our priorities in life.

True Story. Today, I asked a friend of mine do you know any of the ingredients of a Big Mac? He told most of them. But when I asked him if he knew any of the Ten Commandments, he replied no. He told me that he was going to Google them up tonight.

In case you have forgotten them, the Ten Commandments are here listed below. If you wish, enjoy a Big Mac while reading them!

1) I am the Lord your God, don't put other gods before me.

2) Don't take the name of the Lord in vain.

3) Honor the Sabbath.

4) Honor your Dad and Mom.

5) Don't murder.

6) Don't commit adultery.

7) Don't steal.

8) Don't bear false witness against your neighbor.

9) Don't covet your neighbor's wife.

10) Don't covet anything that belongs to your neighbor.

And God spake all these words, saying, "I am the LORD thy God, which have brought thee out of the land of Egypt, out of the house of bondage. 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 fourth generation of them that hate me; And shewing mercy unto thousands of them that love me, and keep my commandments. Thou shalt not take the name of the LORD thy God in vain; for the LORD will not hold him guiltless that taketh his name in vain. Remember the sabbath day, to keep it holy. Six days shalt thou labour, and do all thy work: But the seventh day is the sabbath of the LORD thy God: in it thou shalt not do any work, thou, nor thy son, nor thy daughter, thy manservant, nor thy maidservant, nor thy cattle, nor thy stranger that is within thy gates: For in six days the LORD made heaven and earth, the sea, and all that in them is, and rested the seventh day: wherefore the LORD blessed the sabbath day, and hallowed it. Honour thy father and thy mother: that thy days may be long upon the land which the LORD thy God giveth thee. Thou shalt not kill. Thou shalt not commit adultery. Thou shalt not steal. Thou shalt not bear false witness against thy neighbour. Thou shalt not covet thy neighbour's house, thou shalt not covet thy neighbour's wife, nor his manservant, nor his maidservant, nor his ox, nor his ass, nor any thing that is thy neighbour's." (Exodus 20:1-17)
