There ARE other gods, then?

They believed it back then.

WTF is a graven image? Does a statue of Jesus count?

There are some denominations that eschew statuary of Jesus (or god), though they don't seem to be shy about drawing him/them.

Etc.

Yeah, I think the only things that have any value in that list are not stealing, and not bearing false witness. Everything else is rubbish.

And, as Hitchens used to say, that list never needed to be made. Human societies wouldn't have survived that long if they didn't know that stealing was bad. It is a sure thing that such activities were discouraged (and punished) long before it was codified in the Torah.
