Let's see what y'all come up with.

"More bricks, Less straw"

Hmmm, I need to see all of TC. I have only seen the ending, wherest Moses and the Levites did NOT slay the worshippers of the golden calf. The alternative ending bummed me out. That, and losing five of the Commandments.

This seems to be a trick question. I hardly think an atheist would be inclined to watch The Ten Commandments

Sethi: The man best able to rule Egypt will follow me. I owe that to my fathers, not to my sons.

My pick due to the atheist's 8th commandment.
I didn't know they had commandments which is :We have the responsibility to consider others, including future generations.

No tricks. Let's say, if an atheist did watch the movie, which line, when he saw, would he say to himself, "Yeah, you got that right, brother."

"Oh, Moses, Moses, you stubborn, splendid, adorable fool!" Nefretiri

The End

Having never once believed in any gods or supernatural entities as we commonly know of the idea, from my earliest childhood memories to now (late 40s), I've never met a more atheist person than myself, fwiw, only ones of equal or similar measure.

That said, I grew up in a Baptist family and had a grandfather who was a preacher, and have been to church tons, of several denominations, especially as a child and early teen, and nothing bad ever happened or anything like that, and I'm more well versed in Christianity and the Bible than many followers I've met.

Regardless - various commandments are useful ideas as are other bits from the Bible and such. And I haven't seen the movie in many years so I don't recall any particular quotes.

But good advice is good advice (see The Golden Rule), whether from Aliens or humans or anywhere else.

Or is there some joke or specific point you had in mind?

“Hear me, oh hear me, all to heed the Lord, the Lord Jehova has given onto thee these fifteen, oy, these Ten Commandments for all to obey”

Again, no jokes or tricks or motives. Interesting things just popped into my head.

The scene on the balcony where the high priest said to Rameses that the people have turned from the gods.

Rameses barked back:

quote:

What gods?

You prophets and priests made the gods that you may prey upon the fears of men.

When the Nile ran red, I, too, was afraid, until word came of a mountain beyond the cataracts which spewed red mud and poisoned the water.

Was it the staff I gave you that caused all this?

Was it the wonder of your god that fish should die and frogs should leave the waters?

Was it a miracle that flies and lice should bloat upon their carrion and spread disease in both man and beast?

These things were ordered by themselves, and not by any god.

An athiest would most like the disclosure at the very end of the credits.

"The events depicted in this movie are fictitious. Any similarity to any person living or dead is merely coincidental."

Do I win?

I've seen it twice

nice cinematography for its era

great work of fiction

"Let my people go."

“Ambition knows no father.”

That the gods can digest will not sour in the belly of a slave.

Nice story, very imaginative

Oh, I didn’t know we competed over this. I am sooooooo much more atheist than you.

I’ve always liked that movie and often watch it when it airs on Easter. There are too many good quotes to pick one.
