If you could write your own version of the Ten Commandments, what would they say?

Asked by trolltoll (2570points) April 12th, 2016

What would make the list of “thou shalt”‘s and “thou shalt not”‘s for you?

Don’t be a dick.

That’s 1–10, in case it’s not clear.

Use it to get into their heads.”

“Thou shalt not covet thy neighbor’s wife” would be all-inclusive with “Thou shalt not covet thy neighbor’s goods” since they are basically one and the same. To make 10 I would add “Thou shalt not torture.”

@CWOTUS Damnit.

And here I was hoping to be witty and say

10: Don’t be a dick
20: GOTO 10
30: GOTO 10
40: GOTO 10
50: GOTO 10
60: GOTO 10
70: GOTO 10
80: GOTO 10
90: GOTO 10

(not sure what to put for line 10 since I haven’t actually programmed in basic)

I would extend it to 30 and just copy/paste the Universal Declaration of Human Rights

There are many versions of the 10 commandments. kritiper, if you read the link, the Thou shall not covet they neighbours wife’ is on its own in the Catholic version but not the Protestant.

I think 5 through 8 are just fine so that’s 1— 4.
5. Help people when you can. Ask for help if you need it. We’re all in this together.
6. All people should be treated equally and separate is not equal, and
7. Double standards are wrong.
8. Treat people as you wish to be treated
9. Don’t squander, waste or exploit the limited resources on the planet
10. Nobody’s perfect. Everybody can try harder.

Single commandment:

THINK FOR YOURSELF. Don’t let others tell you how to run your life.
