Confessions are categorized by the Ten Commandments Ten Commandments or Decalogue [Gr.,=ten words], in the Bible, the summary of divine law given by God to Moses on Mt. Sinai. They have a paramount place in the ethical system in Judaism, Christianity, and Islam. and range from the light-hearted--sucking your thumb--to the serious, such as abuse and suicide. Fox, who screens everything on the site, highlights these serious confessions and adds links of how to get help.
