I think it no coincidence that the first 2 commandments given by God concern our allegiance to him. The keeping or violation of all the other commandments hinge on these two. There is always something in our lives competing for our affection. The question for all of us is that do we have God in his proper place within our hearts and lives. When we do, we can accept the concept of "I am therefore you shall". Certainly, since we have no wooden statues or images in our home that we bow down to, we have no concern with the second commandment. However, when you begin to explore the implication of worshipping the right God in the wrong manner, we begin to see that we may not be so free from the second commandment.
