"The truth is, of course, that the curtness of the Ten Commandments is an evidence, not of the gloom and narrowness of a religion, but, on the contrary, of its liberality and humanity. It is shorter to state the things forbidden than the things permitted: precisely because most things are permitted, and only a few things are forbidden."
~GK Chesterton
I have to say, this comment by Chesterton has me thinking. I'd never thought of Christian liberty in those terms.
