...if the ten commandments were as follows;

1. Thou shall not worry, for worry is the most unproductive of all human activities.

2. Thou shall not be fearful, for most of the things we fear never come to pass.

3. Thou shall not cross bridges before you come to them, for no one has yet succedded in accomplishing this.

4. Thou shall face each problem as it comes. You can only handle one at a time, anyway.

5. Thou shall not take problems to bed with you ~ they make for very poor bedfellows.

6. Thou shall not borrow other peoples problems. They can take better care of them than you can.

7. Thou shall not try to relive yesterday for good or ill, it is forever gone. Concentrate on what is happening in your life now and be happy!

8. Thou shall be a good listener, for only when you listen do you hear ideas different from your own. It is hard to learn something new when you are talking and some people do know more than you do.

9. Thou shall not become "bogged down" by frustration, for 90% of it is rooted in self-pity and will only interfere with positive action.

10. Thou shall count thy blessings, never overlooking the small ones, for a lot of small blessings add up to a big one.

...and do you think that would have made history a little bit different?

Well there not like that, but I guess if it was I guess I would still be Christian.........

I might... but I think that I would still be Wiccan since it's almost the same.

History would have been quite different in my opinion. I think it would be a nicer place in the world.

One of the fundamentals of being a christian is believeing in "Jesus Christ" and "God".

So despite cool rules, I'd have to pass.

no.... all those ones are saying is all hippyish. There are no clear rule, people could go willy-nilly

I think thats his 2nd time posting them commandments he found on the internet...

I might be more inclined.

And John, who care's if they're "hippyish." Are you too "cool" to be a hippy?

They are stupid. They have no point and no rules. All they are doing is telling you to be happy. They are not telling you to do the right thing. In fact i think they are leaning twords you doing the wrong thing and not helping others out

6. Thou shall not borrow other peoples problems. They can take better care of them than you can.

What's wrong with being happy, and wanting others to be happy? They have a point, and have rules. Just because you don't like them, doesn't mean you should bash them. =/

Well said all in all, It seems as if Christians handle things they don't understand or are different than them harshly.

I'm going to bash them. They are basicly selfish rules. Look out for yourself and no one else is what i got from them.

Thank you for utterly proving my point.

w00t! I fall under all those categories... except for the worry one...

Does that mean that I can't worry about somebody else? Like if they get in an arguement and I worry that they might get killed by the mafia?
