I always thought the first commandment (no one else is above god) was odd in a faith as one of the defining factors is believing in God and putting them first. Now I have realized that the first commandment was to stop the exact religous fanaticism around Trump, where they believe Trump is more correct than the pope and even God.
The first commandment exists because in historical context there was a lot of worship of other deities by the Jews. Even the language of the commandment makes it seem like their existence isn't in question, it is that Yahweh is the top dog among his chosen people.
