Why is "You shall not commit adultery" in the Ten Commandments?

Why is "You shall not commit adultery" in the Ten Commandments?: " Before we can answer this question, we need to be clear on the definition of adultery. The dictionary defines “adultery” as “voluntary sexual intercourse between a married person and a person who is not his or her spouse.” The Bible would concur with this definition. In Leviticus 18:20, God told Moses, “Do not have sexual relations with your neighbor's wife and defile yourself with her,” and in Deuteronomy 22:22, we find a similar definition:"

You’re a White Supremacist if You Oppose Abortion: "Extremism seems to be the norm on today’s college campuses. Actually, it’s more likely that the extremists have taken over the channels of power.
