What important beliefs or so called "Golden Rules" are important to you, for being a good person?
For ex. "do unto others as you would have them done to you."
or "If you can't say something nice about someone, don't say anything at all."

believing in god for me is not a base point for being a good person,because i met lots of people not believing in god but they are good, there are many factors for being a good person, one thing is to follow the Golden Rules, Ten Commanments, or simply have a good MORAL.

Yes Absolutely that is usually what I say do unto others as you would want them to do unto you, and I agree also with the other saying also, which really does go hand in hand ! truly these are Golden;den Rules and yes there are more of them but these two are on my mind to apply, and I do, Because we are to show Love to all if we want God to show the same Love and mercy to us as we show others!

The mark or sign of a true man or woman of God is the fruits of the spirit (though debated by non-believer, becuase It's something everybody generally strives for; christians will demonstrate it more than others).
Love
Joy
Peace
Kindness
Gentleness
Meekness
Temperance
Long-Suffering

I am Christian, but I think things like If you can't say something nice about someone, don't say anything at all." Shouldl be followed by everyone, regardless of religion. It is just polite!
