in a nutshell

Courtesy of Fred Clark at Slacktivist, The Ten Commandments – Binary Edition:
This is pretty much all the world’s major religions distilled to their purest essence. It really is that simple. If more people simply looked at it this way, and practiced their chosen faith (or lack of faith) this way, there’d be a lot less conflict and unpleasantness in the world.
Also, the best thing about this construct is that if you’re not specifically Judeo-Christian, or don’t do religion at all, you can feel free to substitute your own favored diety/higher power/idea/aspect/concept/philosophy/whatever in for the direct object in number one, and it still works!
It just goes to show that no particular philosophy has a monopoly on human decency.
