Being covetous is wanting other people's stuff to the point of discontent with your own, not going and working for your own.
I agree with the 'simply wanting things doesn't necessitate being covetous', but most advertising and products want you to feel inadequate in order for you to buy their things.
As someone who doesn't have a smart-phone, but is surrounded by those who do, I can't help but feel an urge to buy one.

I've managed to resist it thus far through apathy. Unfortunately, it seems like my provider is moving in a direction that makes using an older-style, non-smart-phone device impractical: newer devices seem to have trouble communicating with mine, even using just basic calls or text. I might have to upgrade simply because older technology is going to soon be no longer compatible with the technology that the people I communicate with use.

Brought back all kinds of nostalgic memories of being a maladjusted teenager, reading Anton LaVey books and drawing pentagrams on my textbooks.
Hail Satan!

Where in the heck did you get the idea that the Ten Commandments are a purely Christian thing. They're right there in the Torah.The Burning Bush, of course.
.
And that was Electric Wizard's non-sequitur of the day folks! Tune in tomorrow for more adventures in complete nonsense!

Didn't Moses get the 10 commandments after speaking to the burning bush?

You are in error. Please point to me the "ten commandments" in the torah.
You'll have to pick through these 613.I'll wait.
And didn't god give mosses the 10 commandments after talking to him through a burning bush?
No; the burning bush was for the barbecue.
The burning bush came early in Exodus, when God asked Moses to lead his people out of Egypt. The Ten Commandments came much, much later when Moses wandered around Mount Sinai for 40 days and came back with them.

Honestly, so far spending a bunch on a data plan has kept me away, but yeah, I've noticed problems with text breaking up.

My latest is people texting me getting "This phone is not accepting text messages" and people calling me getting "This phone is not accepting calls at this time"/"This phone is unavailable". Nevermind the phone itself is on, charged, and not in a poor-reception zone.

Exodus 20 et seq.
...on a lighter note...
What? No Nocticula statue? I'm so disappointed
Exodus 20 et seq.

Except the list goes on into further passages and those are in no way enumerated to only 10.
Taking religion out of it, the 10 commandments are at least law-related.
But I'm with Penn on this one. Public property is no place for this stuff. You want to display? But some land and put it there.
The problem is that it is a courthouse, not the legislative house. The 10 commandments would be more appropriate there. They are the basis of laws, not the legal system. A more appropriate statue for a courthouse would be of the Norse god of justice. Our legal system, jury by peers etc., came out of that, not out of Judeo-Christianity.

Not relevant. The decalogue is a well-established part of Jewish tradition and the fact that God didn't label it for your convenience doesn't mean your rabbi can't tell you which are the ones.
A more interesting question is which verses correspond to which numbers (e.g which one is the 4th commandment?)

I think that depends upon whether you are Catholic or another flavor of Christian, they number them differently.

I think there's actually about six different groups that all number them differently.
Anybody else kind of impressed by how much it looks like the paizo Baphomet?

That's because the folks at Paizo based their version of Baphomet on its historic depictions.
That said, the only thing that's really different is the lack of female breasts, which Paizo also opted out of.
EDIT: Ninja'd by Rysky ;)
Which is really the only reason I was worried about him having a shirt. Having seen the design now, I'm cool with it. It's not lewd, it's not trashy.
