Give me an actual biblical reference that says there were Ten and I'll give up my objection, because the fact is the the condensed version of only ten is a more recent innovation.
If you care to read the bible you will see more than ten.
The Bible lists 10 of them on the tablets. You can count, can't you? They're also called the Decalogue. Your petty excuses aren't even arguments. I don't care about the other Commandments not listed on the tablets.

The "Decalogue" is a matter of an aid to memorisation devised much later that the death of Christ and at no point does the number ten appear to the bible with reference to commandments. The Catholics seem to have adopted this shorthand from the Jews.
There are any number of possible ways to number the rules, ten is a convenient choice which can only be done by bringing together several of the rules in one convenient sentence of bullshit.

Morals I don't believe with the first four. My understanding is that these commandments were the main ones designed for descendants of Abraham, I suppose in part to keep them together as a people. The first four seems to bond these people to God and the latter six to define a moral relationship between those people (even the keeping of the Sabbath would be a bond as there were a number of practices designed to remind the people).
It's interesting that idols based on angels, etc. from Heaven are forbidden as it's extremely unlikely one would encounter such beings (remember within the context of the Bible).
