The 10 Commandments — My version for the 21st Century:

  1. I am God, your God, who got you out of trouble more times than you can remember. No other gods, only Me.
  2. No fake gods either – carved, painted, or any other way. Don’t idolize anything in the sky, earth, or water. I’m a jealous God.
  3. No using God’s name in curses or silly banter. I won’t put up with disrespectful use of My name.
  4. Work six days, keep the seventh day holy. Even God rested on the seventh day. Do the same.
  5. Live so your mother and father will be proud of you. Respect them too. You’ll live a long life if you do that.
  6. No murder. I don’t extend you rights over someone else’s life.
  7. No adultery. Be loyal to the one you married.
  8. No stealing. Other people’s property is sacred. If you must have it, work for it and get your own.
  9. No lying about anyone or anything, ever.
  10. No lusting after someone else’s house, car, position, wife or husband. Don’t set your heart on anything your neighbor has.
You know these rules make sense. You’ll be smart if you follow them.
You may check out the 10 Commandments as they appear in the Bible here. Tell me how they compare and what you think.

And while you’re at it, why don’t you spread some of this around? Wouldn’t the world be a better place if more people knew and practiced the 10 Commandments? You’d be surprised how many people can’t name even three.
