What would LOVES (10?) Commandments be?

Asked by OneMoreMinute (2584points) February 25th, 2010

I’m not satisfied with the ten commandments that Moses received. In fact, I don’t really like the old ones anymore. Could there be a better list that would serve us more effectively? Maybe worded differently?

Many people say with complete certainty that God is Love. Some say that Love is all there is. And only Love is real, that everything else is illusion. Love is the way. Love heals. The greatest commandment is Love one another as yourself etc…

Hmmm, Is that so? I’d like another opinion. Let’s ask his wife, Goddess what she has to say about this!

If Love is the really the One God/Goddess/nongender-omnipotent-being, what could the revised and updated commandments/signposts/suggestions be? How would they change?
What would the new list look like? And let me know if you want to keep the old list as is, but tell me why you do. Maybe I have over looked something.

I am looking for new thoughts here, no sarcastic punches-this is a sincere question. Funnies are always welcome! This is not to create any online religious holy wars!

ONE: ‘You shall have no other gods before Me.’

TWO: ‘You shall not make for yourself a carved image—any likeness of anything that is in heaven above, or that is in the earth beneath, or that is in the water under the earth.’

THREE: ‘You shall not take the name of the LORD your God in vain.’

FOUR: ‘Remember the Sabbath day, to keep it holy.’

FIVE: ‘Honor your father and your mother.’

SIX: ‘You shall not murder.’

SEVEN: ‘You shall not commit adultery.’

EIGHT: ‘You shall not steal.’

NINE: ‘You shall not bear false witness against your neighbor.’

TEN: ‘You shall not covet your neighbor’s house; you shall not covet your neighbor’s wife, nor his male servant, nor his female servant, nor his ox, nor his donkey, nor anything that is your neighbor’s.’
