Can you come up with a better Ten Commandments?

[Dank14]

I decided the morality of the ten commandments could be boiled down into, "Do not harm or deceive anyone"...
But, since everyone enjoys lists of 10, I decided to go a bit further and fill it out with some substance:

1. Do not harm or deceive anyone
2. Help those less fortunate
3. Identify and improve your own flaws and weaknesses
4. Be observant and considerate
5. Do not be greedy; never take more than you need
6. Think critically before making important decisions
7. Give people the benefit of the doubt; walk a mile in the other person's shoes
8. Lead by example
9. Be kinder to others than they are to you
10. Make the world a better place for our children


It may not be perfect, but I would argue that it is a better list than the bible

What do you think?




I do not think it's better than the bible, it just elaborates what is already written down in the bible!

What about these two:

Thou shalt not fall for politicians.
Thou shalt not practice fractional reserve banking.

[romero121]

In my opinion none can create ten commandments better than we follow now. If you understand clearly it relates to every sin done. So no need of an alternative.

I'm fairly sure God missed the commandments for:
1) Thou shalt not rape little boys
2) Thou shalt not enable priests to rape little boys by hiding them and moving them to a new church
3) Thou shalt not own slaves
4) Thou shalt not murder homosexuals

I could go on, but you get the point?

Can you come up with a better list, or improve upon what I've got going here?

If original 10 commandments was made by man, you will be right.
Such commandments will not be eternal and unchangeable and people could discuss about it, like about constitution of any country.
But, since God created 10 commandments, not any man, we see that still after a few thousand years this commandments didn't change and still have power to change and inspire people.
Can you find something like this in laws man created?
No, of course, because God's laws and commandments are vertical and eternal.
Man's laws and commandments are temporary,never last long time, as already proved many times in human history.
Do you think that your 10 commandments above will last 4 000 years?
Or 1000 years? 10 years? 1 year? Even 1 day? I don't think so.
Please think about it.

As you may well know, the authoritative source is the Church of the Flying Spaghetti Monster.  It is said that of the original ten Commandments, two have been lost when the FSM careened into a school bus of vacationing Japanese Tourists snapping photos of hunchback whales and creepy lizards.  This caused one of the Android tablets the FSM was writing on to fall into the water.  




1. I'd really rather you didn't act like a sanctimonious holier-than-thou *** when describing my noodly goodness. If some people don't believe in me, that's okay. Really, I'm not that vain. Besides, this isn't about them so don't change the subject.

2. I'd really rather you didn't use my existence as a means to oppress, subjugate, punish, eviscerate, and/or, you know, be mean to others. I don't require sacrifices, and purity is for drinking water, not people.

3. I'd really rather you didn't judge people for the way they look, or how they dress, or the way they talk, or, well, just play nice, okay? Oh, and get this into your thick heads: woman = person. man = person. Samey = Samey. One is not better than the other, unless we're talking about fashion and I'm sorry, but I gave that to women and some guys who know the difference between teal and fuchsia.

4. I'd really rather you didn't indulge in conduct that offends yourself, or your willing, consenting partner of legal age AND mental maturity. As for anyone who might object, I think the expression is "go f*** yourself," unless they find that offensive in which case they can turn off the TV for once and go for a walk for a change.

5. I'd really rather you didn't challenge the bigoted, misogynistic, hateful ideas of others on an empty stomach. Eat, then go after the b******.

6. I'd really rather you didn't build multi million-dollar synagogues / churches / temples / mosques / shrines to my noodly goodness when the money could be better spent (take your pick):
Ending poverty
Curing diseases
Living in peace, loving with passion, and lowering the cost of cable
I might be a complex-carbohydrate omniscient being, but I enjoy the simple things in life. I ought to know. I AM the creator.

7. I'd really rather you didn't go around telling people I talk to you. You're not that interesting. Get over yourself. And I told you to love your fellow man, can't you take a hint?

8. I'd really rather you didn't do unto others as you would have them do unto you if you are into, um, stuff that uses a lot of leather/lubricant/vaseline. If the other person is into it, however (pursuant to #4), then have at it, take pictures, and for the love of Mike, wear a CONDOM! Honestly, it's a piece of rubber. If I didn't want it to feel good when you did it I would have added spikes, or something.

Nope i dont think so ... Father gave us the perfect commendments

Here's an other one after giving a hand to friend with fixing his laptop:

Thou shalt not touch HP Pavilion laptops... :/

Have you read the 10 commandments in the bible?

Do you seriously think that's the best a "god" could do?

Can't you see that the first 4 are narcissistic, even for a god?

Do you realize that only 2 of the commandments are even laws? (secular society doesn't believe 8 of the 10 commandments are worthy of punishment)

Why is there no commandment prohibiting slavery, pedophilia, etc?

The best your god can do is, "Don't curse your parents", "Take the day off on Sunday (or was it Saturday?)", and "Don't say my name"?!?  That's your basis of morality?!?!?  These are among the 10 most important rules for humanity?!?!?!?!?!?!?!?!?!?

WTF is wrong with people?  FSM gave you a brain, use it!

I think you should add these :
1. Love God first, then your parents, family, relatives, and broden.
2. do all activities based on the best human ever, Prophet Muhammad.
3. read Qur'an and hadith of propet

and then your life will be lighten

I appreciate your advice, but I have already found enlightenment, and it was not hiding behind Muhammad

Love god first then your parents
I hope you get squashed by a bus...Your thinking is all wrong

Would you put god before your mum and dad?
NO FUCKIN WAY..Now see the way these MUSLIMS Think..CRAZY..

I was going to call you muslims animals.. But i be insulting an animal..

JEWS WILL RULE THE WORLD..

No i am not religious but rather live with a million Jews than 1 muslim

At least with a jew you can get a loan
with a muslim they rape your children dirty PEDO muslims

[Slow death]

yes I agree that this list is better than the Bible,

For example point 7

7 - Give people the benefit of the doubt;

If people do this would be very good, but the reality of this world is different

In my country for example:

Just because someone yelled "thief" the people running the behind the person, beat him up and burn him alive, something very sad, do not have evidence that is thief, but because someone called it "thief" then the person's murda but the amazing thing about this is if someone rich and well dressed was accused of being a thief anyone you'd hit and not burn

I think many rules apply poor people, this justice for those who have money

To add, Muslims are very racist and bigoted

I told my nephew not to convert, but it has serious trouble hearing

In the mosque the Muslims expect the black and poor pray first and when end is that the rich come to pray, until I was forbidden to set foot on the tour of the mosque by he said, is a sacred place, they preferred that I was hit by a car let me go on tour?

are sick person

[davis196]

Only one Commandment is enough.
Never cheat your woman/man.

[Moloch]

Only one Commandment is enough.
Never cheat your woman/man.

God felt this one was important enough to make 2 separate commandments...

Thou shalt not commit adultery
Thou shalt not covet thy neighbors ass

I suppose the second one is more of a thought-crime... since you didn't actually do anything besides catch a glimpse of your neighbors ass and enjoy it

[Slow death]

Only one Commandment is enough.
Never cheat your woman/man.

I think it would suffice to say:

Not to steal, not to lie and not kill

[JesusHadAegis]

Only one Commandment is enough.
Never cheat your woman/man.

I think it would suffice to say:

Not to steal, not to lie and not kill

Well frankly its for atheist. Because the 1st three was for god and others was for the people.

1. Love God first, then your parents, family, relatives, and broden.

You should not generalize because there are christians too that are exactly at you definition.

Dont be caught up by the hype about the terrorist. They have their reasons and you cant just whine about that

[Elwar]

1. Though shalt not use force.
2. Though shalt not deceive.
3. Be excellent to one another.
