Just for fun, imagine how a single day in your life would be different if everyone followed the 10 Commandments plus “Love thy neighbor as thyself” (both a Christian value and a quote from Leviticus). [/quote]
Just for fun, imagine how a single day in your life would be different if everyone followed the word of the bible. Every word of the bible. The whole bible.[/quote]
You shall have no other gods before Me.
mmm. sounds like fighting words.
You shall not make idols.
ok. kinda vague and weird. bad for the idol industry, but ok. I get a lot out of literature, sports, nature..might suppose those are false idols I’ve created…
You shall not take the name of the LORD your God in vain.
oddly threatening. fuck off…and why can’t I question his cruel device?
Remember the Sabbath day, to keep it holy.
same. would be nice if we could at least not sell liquor tho.
Honor your father and your mother.
ok. that one’s nice. I approve.
You shall not murder.
for this we need a religion?
You shall not commit adultery.
uhhh….this one’s a tough sell in a modern feminist society. one mate, forever, no splitting up? ever?
You shall not steal.
I like it…but, like the next one…
You shall not bear false witness against your neighbor.
easily covered by statute.
You shall not covet.
don’t do what we are naturally inclined to do. but its good advice. be happy with your lot in life…not sure a command to knock it off is effective though. perhaps psychotherapy would help?
not sure these 10 strictly followed uniquely help.
