wouldn't it be better to have positive reinforcement, like Thou shalt be a good person...etc

Thou shalt hold life sacred....
I like it. Nice question. But you know god... he's a pretty negative and punitive kinda guy...

absolutely
i think the world would be much better if we had to follow more positive , optimistic commandments
children do not respond to negative rules as much as they do to praise for good they do
thou shall be a good person
thou shall be happy and make others happy
thou shall make a difference to peoples lives
thou shall look after the earth and all who live on it
i think these would be good ones

An instruction isn't reinforcement, no matter how it's phrased.

When people are turning away from God, there is no positive enforcement. Turning away from God is not positive.

Uhh...no, it is not reverse psychology. It is simply (and clearly) stating what is not allowed. That is all.
