Just throw the damn stone tablets in the dustbin. We need to always reconsider our actions not follow a strict set of rules.

The trouble with commandments is that they assume the existence of a commander, one who gives orders and beats the holy hell out of anyone who dares disobey.

Jesus came along and seemed to imply that the first two commandments were the most important because all the others were based on those two. But the first two commandments order us to love. How can you command someone to love? Love has to be spontaneous. Love comes automatically when you become aware of beauty and value. There’s not much point in ordering someone to become aware—if they aren’t aware they probably don’t know where to begin or what it is they are supposed to become aware of.

I propose that the Ten Commandments be reduced to just one: MEDITATE.

I think we could throw out the half of them having to do with worshiping god. and then update the rest to make sense, as in coveting thy neighbor's wife and goats.
