Can you imagine what the world would be like if the Ten Commandments had been written differently?

If I'd been in charge, they would have gone something like this:

1. Thou shalt think deeply on matters of import
2. Tread lightly upon the earth, for it does not belong to you.
3. Thou shalt put the happiness of others above riches and authority
4. Honour the Sabbath by being creative
5. Thou shalt talk long with thine enemies, before reaching for thine sword that your sword may yet remain untouched.
6. Thou shalt be kind.
7. Honour thy community that you may live well within it.
8. Thou shall not harm thy neighbour, neither by theft, murder nor intolerance of their race, religion or standing.
9. Thou shall never distort the truth so that you may gain from the confusion of others.
10. Thou shall let others speak and be judged as you would speak and be judged.

Optional 11: Thou shall not put the freakin' punchline in the title of thine post.
