Surely the point stands though... That if we only know about the commandments from religious texts, but religious texts are fallible and open to being altered or corrupted either initially or during translation, how can anyone be sure that even those are correct?
I mean, maybe there were originally only 8 commandments but then the guy who was writing it walked in on his missus shaking the headboard with the bloke next door, so he was like "OI! What is this? Where's my pen? Hmph. NO ADULTERY. NO TO BANGING YOUR NEIGHBOURS WIFE. THAT MEANS YOU, BOB!" and so now there's 10.
