Best Answer

Many people do not follow them. Therefore nothing will happen if the rest did not

Better answer: The real name of them is the Ten Statements. According to Jewish belief, there are six hundred and thirteen commandments. All you have to do is ask for forgiveness and not do it again. The ten commandments are moral guidelines, rules by which to live your life. If you don't follow them, don't worry about God. You're already a bad person. I mean honestly, is it THAT difficult to not kill someone? To not have covet your neighbor's things and to not steal? If you have difficulty with basic moral decisions, this question is over your head.

Supposedly, you get God angry and imperil your immortal soul to hell (at least according to some people). Others will simply say you are not a good person, and others still will just tell you not to worry about them, since they are fairly redundant in the modern world.

Answer:
Nothing unusual. Most people take on a code of behavior for themselves which may be the prepackaged sort like the Ten Commandments or the Eightfold Path of Buddhism. Others examine each circumstance that they come to and determine al logical approach to it. In addition it is necessary to follow the societal rules of the culture you live in whether you agree with them or not.
A person with one of the prepacked sets of rules, a person who works through each event with situational ethics, or one who blends in with societal norms regardless of his beleif in them all can lead acceptable lives and cannot be differentiated one from the other by casual inspection.
