What would you list as the top ten rules for moral living?

Asked by ETpro (34605points) August 18th, 2013

I’m assuming virtually all Christians and practicing members of Judaism would keep the Ten Commandments we have in the Torah / Old Testament. The Quran has a similar list, which I’d assume Muslims would retain unchanged. So keep what we have is a perfectly legitimate answer, but needs to be further defined as to which source you wish to keep.

The Zeitgeist regarding what is and isn’t moral has changed a great deal in the 3,525 years since the Ten Commandments were given to Moses. Today, if you search Google or Bing for “New Ten Commandments” you will find plenty of redos. Google returns 17 million results, of which
this is number one. If you think the bronze age list is ready for an update, feel free to use a search result you particularly admire, combine bits and pieces from a number of those out there, or invent your own list. I’d love to hear how you came up with your list, whether it be by research or just dashing off your own personal top 10 moral rules.
