If you hear His voice, Mike, do not harden your heart. Listen to Him, receive His message, learn of Him, for He is reaching out to save your eternal soul. I think He gave up reaching out for me a long time. He probably took one look at me, turned back around, looked at His board of directors, and said, "Uhm, forget it, we can afford to lose him, he'll never get with the program" :)
In fairness, "some" of the commandments are good ones to use in the process of raising children. Numbers five through nine are good ones in general if one wants to live in a benevolent universe.
