In my poor (not really, but it does sound poetic to me) country, the only
religious I'm aware of holding respect for those Divine instructions are
The Quakers, and even some Quakers have been known to break the customary
Quaker meditative silence, and seemingly bask in the vanity of
pretentious pontification disguised as prayer.

Please, sock it to me with regard to how the religious respect the
Testament New in your country.
