Want an opinion? (If not don't read on)
Here's an analogy. You want to get to the video store, it is three block away and on the right. You have the directions in front of you (commandments). After a block you still don't actually see the video store, so you make a left at the next intersection, cut through two alley ways, run into someones backyard, through the fence and into a lake. So, was this judgement? No, not really, if you would just follow the damn directions then things would work out instead of sitting at the bottom of a lake crying out "God, why have you judged me so!!!"

I would need to be relatively sure of the individual who wrote the directions down, and therein lies the issue.
While I firmly believe the "Ten commandments" are an excellent set of rules to live by(most of them), I am uncomfortable taking directions from a stranger. I know, I know, I just need to "get to know" your god.
This is unlikely if not impossible, considering that your god isnt even the same one as your preachers'(priest,cleric,rabbi,etc...).
And what if the guy who took down the directions as "god" dictated(unless you think it wrote them itself) made a mistake and the video store is actually four blocks down? Do you trust the transcriber in the same way you trust the author?
