1. Do not give opinions or advice unless you are asked.
2. Do not tell your troubles to others unless you are sure they want to hear them.
3. When in another’s lair, show him respect or else do not go there.
4. If a guest in your lair annoys you, treat him cruelly and without mercy.
5. Do not make sexual advances unless you are given the mating signal.
6. Do not take that which does not belong to you unless it is a burden to the other person and he cries out to be relieved.
7. Acknowledge the power of magic if you have employed it successfully to obtain your desires. If you deny the power of magic after having called upon it with success, you will lose all you have obtained.
8. Do not complain about anything to which you need not subject yourself.
9. Do not harm little children.
10. Do not kill non-human animals unless you are attacked or for your food.
11. When walking in open territory, bother no one. If someone bothers you, ask him to stop. If he does not stop, destroy him.

Good question, I'm gonna enjoy answering it :)
I believe that, first and foremost: all humans are equal, and that we should treat others as we would like to be treated. We should foster empathy and compassion whenever possible for other people.
Secondly, I believe that we are not far removed from animals. I am a vegetarian because I do not wish to cause suffering just for a tasty meal.
However, thirdly, I also believe in tolerance. My spirituality is my own, and I would never push it on anyone.
I also believe in the beauty of the universe, and the amazingness of every aspect of it. This has led me to become a form of Pantheist, as I see the universe and nothing else as G-d. G-d is the inner cause of everything, and the substance of everything, the pure energy that created everything. I love space and stars, and like looking up pictures of them, and of nature on this planet. It helps me to get things in perspective.I like to live in harmony with nature, also.
When I get the chance (and have my own job, house etc,) I would like to be more charitable. I want to help others and live simply.
I also love rituals and practice various rituals and routines for comfort, and to remind myself of the beauty of everday tasks.
I think that meditation is one of the best ways to feel spiritual.
Thats all! Phew!

God is the Creator of Heaven and Earth. By accepting His Son, Jesus Christ, as your personal Savior, you receive the GIFT of salvation, and you are adopted into God's family.
The gift of eternal life is not earned, and not matter how "good" you are, you are not good enough. You need Christ.
"Sin" is an archery term, meaning "missing the mark". We all sin. We all fall short of the glory of God, because we are human. We need to be saved.
When you accept this gift, your life changes. You begin a life of hope, love, peace, and you do better, because you desire to do better.
That is just the tidbit of my core belief.

I do my best to love God, love my neighbor as myself and forgive my enemies.
In all honesty I'm not 100% successful, since the sin of wrath is my main weakness. I direct a lot of rage at those who do harm directly or indirectly to the human race.

I believe that human beings are generally good and that if they only follow their hearts and minds and not listen to others who tell them how to think, that the world would benefit. Peace can only be achieved if we can recognize and then tune out hatred.

Jesus is the Messiah, the Son of God, who gave His life to save the world.
By accepting Him as my Savior, I am made righteous through His shed blood. Through Him I receive life everlasting.

Love is the most important thing in the world.
"Business!" cried the Ghost, wringing its hands again. "Mankind was my business. The common welfare was my business; charity, mercy, forbearance, and benevolence, were, all, my business."
