“You shall not make for yourself a carved image, or any likeness of anything that is in heaven above, or that is in the earth beneath, or that is in the water under the earth. You shall not bow down to them or serve them, for I the LORD your God am a jealous God, visiting the iniquity of the fathers on the children to the third and the fourth generation of those who hate me, but showing steadfast love to thousands of those who love me and keep my commandments.
I'd argue that Christians don't worship and serve crosses. They worship and serve the God of Abraham. The cross is just something to look at. Besides, it's really just drawing arbitrary lines to call that the third commandment.
I am the LORD your God, who brought you out of the land of Egypt, out of the house of slavery. You shall have no other gods before me. You shall not make for yourself a carved image, or any likeness of anything that is in heaven above, or that is in the earth beneath, or that is in the water under the earth. You shall not bow down to them or serve them, for I the LORD your God am a jealous God, visiting the iniquity of the fathers on the children to the third and the fourth generation of those who hate me, but showing steadfast love to thousands of those who love me and keep my commandments. You shall not take the name of the LORD your God in vain, for the LORD will not hold him guiltless who takes his name in vain.
Basically it's one big statement saying "I'm your god, you won't have other gods or anything else ahead of me, and you'll show me respect...or else."
Yep, and you sure can see a lot of "or else" throughout history, and in the world today. Image how different it would be if we could all just get along...Mark 12:30 AND YOU SHALL LOVE THE LORD YOUR GOD WITH ALL YOUR HEART, AND WITH ALL YOUR SOUL, AND WITH ALL YOUR MIND, AND WITH ALL YOUR STRENGTH.' 31"The second is this, 'YOU SHALL LOVE YOUR NEIGHBOR AS YOURSELF.' There is no other commandment greater than these." And here I am TRYING to do these things and then some jackwagon cuts me off in traffic "&(*)Q#$()#*&". Satan is always at work, and he sure seems to waste a lot of time on me some days.

The Force hasn't been with the Empire since the clone wars.
