You're saying that the Ten Commandments are something different from what people have always known they were, which is a preposterous thing to expect rational people to believe.
Your hobby horse is just fringe weirdness. Sorry, but it's true and arrogant persistence is going to get you nowhere, which I guess is okay with you, since you've repeatedly stated that you just don't care.
And I can't help being reminded of the "tinkling cymbal/sounding brass" thing in Paul's Epistles.
My mom used to say "You're just talking to hear your head roar."
If you don't care, then the influence of your voice is heard to worse effect than if you just kept still.
I hear this sentiment quite often, and I think it is usually just a ploy to convince oneself that they have done their due diligence and are justified in denying the pain that comes from rejection of what they believe or in denying the sharing of Christ's genuine pain over people they believe are without hope.
Either way it is a sad thing to watch and I acknowledge it with no satisfaction.

Exodus 34
27 Then the Lord said to Moses, “Write down these words, for in accordance with these words I have made a covenant with you and with Israel.” 28 Moses was there with the Lord forty days and forty nights without eating bread or drinking water. And he wrote on the tablets the words of the covenant—the Ten Commandments.
The only Commandments that God called the Ten Commandments or even Commandments at all....are in Exodus 34:10:28
The only Commandments that God called the Ten Commandments that are the Covenants starters…..are in accordance with these words I have made a covenant with you…. are in Exodus 34:10:28
The only Commandments that God called the Ten Commandments that God told Moses to write on the Tablets of the Testimony are in Exodus 34:10:28
The ten items in chapter 20 are short summaries of the basic morals of the 613 Mosaic Laws.
The Bible does not say they were written on the tablets and are no more significant to the Covenant than any other Law. And God did not call them the Ten Commandments.
