A conversation

So, you guys don’t believe in the Ten Commandments anymore, do you?

Huh, what do you mean?

Well, like, it’s a Christian thing right? I mean, I mean, Christians are suppose to follow them and all. So does that mean you guys don’t follow the Ten Commandments any more?
Well, shoot Mike, it’s like we have the Wicca Rede and there are some other little litany’s and such. But no, not really any Ten Commandments.

So, then, it’s o.k. for you guys to break those things then. You know, since you don’t follow them.
It’s a little more complicated than that. But wouldn’t you say that the Ten Commandments make some type of sense though. I mean, why not follow them? Just because they are a “Christian” thing or a Muslim thing, or any of the other multitude of religions out there, doesn’t mean it’s worthy of the trash just because you don’t adhere to them.

Lets take those Ten Commandments. Now, don’t most all religions have some type of litany, saying, verse, or written communications from a Higher Source stating virtually what those Ten Commandments state? I mean, they can be worded differently, but they will have something similar to them, right? Shouldn’t the Ten Commandments and others like that be more of a way of life than anything else? It would be a whole lot easier life if we wouldn’t run around stealing things, committing adultery, killing people, or any number of other things we shouldn't be doing. Makes common sense to me, that a person should lead a life that incorporates these thing, plus others. But the one I like the best – Do unto others.

Lets face it,

less stealing = less killing,

less adultery = less killing. (just ask your significant other about this one)

Where’s the problem????
