If you could rewrite the Ten Commandments for the present day, what would some of yours be?

Question

Regardless of your religion/race etc. what would your ten comandments for the modern person be?

I don't mean contradict the Ten Commandments, I just mean how will you alter them to suit todays life?

Answer 1

Rewrite the word of G-d???

Think I'll pass

Answer 2

I'm going to say the eght I'd Really Rather You Didn'ts of the FSM are pretty good.

The Eight "I'd Really Rather You Didn'ts"
1. I'd Really Rather You Didn't Act Like a Sanctimonious Holier-Than-Thou *** When Describing My Noodly Goodness. If Some People Don't Believe In Me, That's Okay. Really, I'm Not That Vain. Besides, This Isn't About Them So Don't Change The Subject.
2. I'd Really Rather You Didn't Use My Existence As A Means To Oppress, Subjugate, Punish, Eviscerate, And/Or, You Know, Be Mean To Others. I Don't Require Sacrifices, And Purity Is For Drinking Water, Not People.
3. I'd Really Rather You Didn't Judge People For The Way They Look, Or How They Dress, Or The Way They Talk, Or, Well, Just Play Nice, Okay? Oh, And Get This In Your Thick Heads: Woman = Person. Man = Person. Samey = Samey. One Is Not Better Than The Other, Unless We're Talking About Fashion And I'm Sorry, But I Gave That To Women And Some Guys Who Know The Difference Between Teal and Fuchsia.
4. I'd Really Rather You Didn't Indulge In Conduct That Offends Yourself, Or Your Willing, Consenting Partner Of Legal Age AND Mental Maturity. As For Anyone Who Might Object, I Think The Expression Is Go F*** Yourself, Unless They Find That Offensive In Which Case They Can Turn Off the TV For Once And Go For A Walk For A Change.
5. I'd Really Rather You Didn't Challenge The Bigoted, Misogynist, Hateful Ideas Of Others On An Empty Stomach. Eat, Then Go After The B*******.
6. I'd Really Rather You Didn't Build Multimillion-Dollar Churches/Temples/Mosques/Shrines To My Noodly Goodness When The Money Could Be Better Spent (Take Your Pick):
Ending Poverty
Curing Diseases
Living In Peace, Loving With Passion, And Lowering
The Cost Of Cable
I Might be a Complex-Carbohydrate Omniscient Being, But I Enjoy The Simple Things In Life. I Ought To Know. I AM the Creator.
7. I'd Really Rather You Didn't Go Around Telling People I Talk To You. You're Not That Interesting. Get Over Yourself. And I Told You To Love Your Fellow Man, Can't You Take A Hint?
8. I'd Really Rather You Didn't Do Unto Others As You Would Have Them Do Unto You If You Are Into, Um, Stuff That Uses A Lot Of Leather/Lubricant/Las Vegas. If The Other Person Is Into It, However (Pursuant To #4), Then Have At It, Take Pictures, And For The Love Of Mike, Wear a CONDOM! Honestly, It's A Piece Of Rubber. If I Didn't Want It To Feel Good When You Did It I Would Have Added Spikes, Or Something.

Answer 4

The Ten Commandments cannot be improved on. They cover every eventuality and only one person has ever kept them, he being Jesus Christ the Son of God. God wrote them and set the standard for perfect living and because no one is perfect then no one can keep them!
My Ten Commandments for the modern society can be found in the book of Exodus ch20 v7-v17.

2 it is okay to be gay
3 religious tolerance is the best thing you can give someone
4 sex is just a good as religious tolerance
5 conversion is okay just don't hate Christianity
6 don't listen to the corrupt
7 killing in my name is wrong
8 the shedding of blood is only okay in defence
9 do not close shops on Sunday
10 have tolerance for other sects of your religion
the modern ten commandment don't take offence

Answer 6

Don't kill.
Don't steal.
Be honest with yourself.
Pay attention.
Take self-responsibility.
Be good to those you love and who love you.
Be courteous when possible.
Keep your nose out of other people's business.
Make time for things you enjoy.
Don't spend your entire life dwelling on your death.

All except the first two (since they're laws in most civilized societies) are pretty much optional.

Thou shalt not spam.

Answer 9

I really like the 9 fold Buddhist path. Makes much more sense, although even they go on too long in my opinion.

Perhaps my version would consist of just one:

Don't be an asshole.
