but it specifically says "altar", not "tablets"

Read the whole thing. Anything made of stone for god's purposes has the same restriction. Research don't just  make a simple assumption.

OP, I believe the AC is correct:

[color=blue]Exd 20:22	¶	And the LORD said unto Moses, Thus thou shalt say unto the children of Israel, Ye have seen that I have talked with you from heaven.

Exd 20:23	 	Ye shall not make with me gods of silver, neither shall ye make unto you gods of gold.

Exd 20:24	 	An altar of earth thou shalt make unto me, and shalt sacrifice thereon thy burnt offerings, and thy peace offerings, thy sheep, and thine oxen: in all places where I record my name I will come unto thee, and I will bless thee.

Exd 20:25	 	And if thou wilt make me an altar of stone, thou shalt not build it of hewn stone: for if thou lift up thy tool upon it, thou hast polluted it.

Exd 20:26	 	Neither shalt thou go up by steps unto mine altar, that thy nakedness be not discovered thereon.[/color]

Verse 25 applies only to His [i]alter[/i], no mention of tablets when read in context.

"Thread killed."

Original Message I'm atheist, but very well versed in biblical writings.

Exodus 20:25
And if thou wilt make me an altar of stone, thou shalt not build it of hewn stone: for if thou lift up thy tool upon it, thou hast polluted it.

Exodus 34:1

And the LORD said unto Moses, Hew thee two tables of stone like unto the first: and I will write upon these tables the words that were in the first tables, which thou brakest.

Note: This lifting of a tool to a stone and thereby polluting it applies to any stone used for god's purposes. Just ask any Jew or research it for yourself.

How do the Jews explain this away? With some admittedly (admitted by Jews that is) mythical worm carried around in the beak of a mythical bird. The so called Shamir worm.

This same Shamir worm was supposed to have cut out all the stones on the robes of the priests and even more questionable, supposedly cut all the stones of Solomon's temple. Solomon had to enlist the help of a king of demons to obtain the worm. Imagine that, Solomon having to rely on a king of demons (Asmodeus) for help to build the temple.

So now fast forward a bit and this Shamir worm is long gone ages ago. Disappeared. No one knows what happened to this mythical worm. So how do the Jews intend to rebuild the temple? They CANNOT use tools to cut the stones.

Quite the predicament.
