We shall have no other sentient beings before us. We shall not make for ourselves an idol, or any likeness of what is in the afterlife, any world parallel to ours, or reality before ours, unless intended as symbolic. We shall not take anyone's name to be sacred. Remember every day, to live it fully. Honor your parents and ancestors, that your days may be prolonged in the world which they have shaped for us. We shall not kill anyone with impunity. We shall not betray anyone's individuality. We shall not claim immaterial property. We shall not bear false witness against ourselves. We shall not covet that which we cannot possibly attain or haven't evidence in its attainability.
that's nice...but anyone who ISN'T a secular humanist will probably punch you in the face. and this is just as dogmatic as the christian version, so it's essentially the same thing, from a legal standpoint.
Here is the 10 commandments that I'm used to You shall have no other Gods before me. You shall not make for yourself any carved image, or 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; you shall not bow down to them nor serve them. For I, the Lord your God, am a jealous God, visiting the iniquity of the fathers on the children to the third and fourth generations of those who hate me, but showing mercy to thousands, to those who love Me and keep My commandments. You shall not take the name of the Lord your God in vain, for the Lord will not hold him guiltless who takes His name in vain. Remember the Sabbath day, to keep it holy. Six days you shall labor and do all your work, but the seventh day is the Sabbath of the Lord your God. In it you shall do no work: you, nor your son, nor your daughter nor your manservant, nor your cattle, nor your stranger who is within your gates. For in six days the Lord made the heavens and the earth, the sea, and all that is in them, and rested the seventh day. Therefore the Lord blessed the Sabbath day and hallowed it. Honor your father and mother, that your days may be long upon the land which the Lord your God is giving you. You shall not murder. You shall not commit adultery. You shall not steal. You shall not bear false witness against your neighbor. You shall not covet your neighbor’s house; you shall not covet your neighbor’s wife, nor his manservant, nor his maidservant, nor his ox, nor his donkey, nor anything that is your neighbor’s."
Yep. That's more the ones i know except it starts 'thou shalt not" it means the same but "thou" is more traditional. Later Gators
I also found these online [size=+1]Ten commandments for changing the world[/size] Angela Bischoff and Tooker Gomberg Changing the world is a blast. It's all the more achievable if you have some basic skills, and lots of chutzpah. With apologies to Moses, and God, here are our top Ten Commandments For Changing the World. Try them out on your issue. Have fun! But first, some inspiration from Noam Chomsky: "If you go to one demonstration and then go home, that's something, but the people in power can live with that. What they can't live with is sustained pressure that keeps building, organizations that keep doing things, people that keep learning lessons from the last time and doing it better the next time." 1 You Gotta Believe Have hope, passion and confidence that valuable change can and does happen because individuals take bold initiative. 2 Challenge Authority Don't be afraid to question authority. Authority should be earned, not appointed. The "experts" are often proven wrong — they used to believe that the earth was flat!. You don't have to be an expert to have a valuable opinion or to speak out on an issue. 3 Know the System The system perpetuates itself. Use the tools you have — the telephone is the most underrated. The internet can be of great value for research as well. Learn how decisions are made. How is the bureaucracy structured? Who are the key players? What do they look like? Where do they eat lunch? Go there and talk with them. Get to know their executive assistants. Attend public meetings. 4 Take Action Do something — anything is better than nothing. Bounce your idea around with friends, and then act. Start small, but think big. Organize public events. Distribute handbills. Involve youth. It's easier to ask for forgiveness after the fact rather than to ask for permission. Just do it! Be flexible. Roll with the punches and allow yourself to change tactics mid-stream. Think laterally. Don't get hung-up on money matters; some of the best actions have no budget. 5 Use the media Letters to the Editor of your local newspaper are read by thousands. Stage a dramatic event and invite the media — they love an event that gives them an interesting angle or good photo. Bypass the mainstream media with email and the world wide web to get the word out about your issue and to network. 6 Build Alliances Seek out your common allies such as other community associations, seniors, youth groups, labor, businesses, etc. and work with them to establish support. The system wins through Divide and Conquer, so do the opposite! Network ideas, expertise and issues through email lists. Celebrate your successes with others. 7 Apply Constant Pressure Persevere — it drives those in power crazy. Be as creative as possible in getting your perspective heard. Use the media, phone your politicians, send letters and faxes with graphics and images. Be concise. Bend the Administration's ear when you attend public meetings. Take notes. Ask specific questions, and give a deadline for when you expect a response. Stay in their faces. 8 Teach Alternatives Propose and articulate intelligent alternatives to the status quo. Inspire people with well thought out, attractive visions of how things can be better. Use actual examples, what's been tried, where and how it works. Do your homework, get the word out, create visual representations. Be positive and hopeful. 9 Learn From your Mistrakes You're gonna make mistakes; we all do. Critique - in a positive way - yourself, the movement, and the opposition. What works, and why? What isn't working? What do people really enjoy doing, and do more of that. 10 Take Care of Yourself and Each Other Maintain balance. Eat well and get regular exercise. Avoid burn-out by delegating tasks, sharing responsibility, and maintaining an open process. Be sensitive to your comrades. Have fun. As much as possible, surround yourself with others (both at work and at play) who share your vision so you can build camaraderie, solidarity and support. Enjoy yourself, and nourish your sense of humour. Remember: you're not alone!
I have never even read the whole bible cover-to-cover and probably never will so I sure wouldn't try to sell one. "The 10 commandments For Changing the World" is from one of the sites I went to while looking up something about Gandhi. BTW..what is KJ?
