Do you follow the 10 commandments or at least try?

Question

Although I am Jewish, I’m not a practicing Jew, and I’m kinda agnostic on the whole religion. However, with the exception of #4, I absolutely follow the Commandments. I don’t even think one has to be religious to follow the Ten Commandments, they are just a basic guide to living life while not being an A-Hole! I mean don’t steal, don’t murder (and when you look at the original Hebrew text, it is don’t murder, as there are plenty of times in the Bible, and the Torah, where god commands men to obey their king and fight in war.) Don’t be jealous, don't sleep with your neighbor’s wife, in fact don’t even THINK about sleeping w/ your neighbors wife. Don't lie, don’t wish for things you cannot afford, and don't steal those things you cannot afford, or anything for that matter! Also, honor your mother and father, meaning respect them and do as they say! All in all, not bad rules to live by.

Oh, and don’t worship a golden cow FFS! Moses JUST walked down a mountain, with commandment #2 stating now it shall not have any graven image unto thee, and they were worshipping a gold cow! You don’t have to be religious to know that’s not a good idea!

10 out of 10.

Lliam · Answer

No. They don't guide my morals or principles. I don't even think about them. But I 100% agree with a couple of them.

I don't believe in gods, so #I - #IV are irrelevant to me.

#V depends. If "honor" means to always obey or to think that they are infallible, then no. But if it means to have a soft spot in your heart, then yes.

#VI. I would never kill or do harm except in self defense or if they really, really deserved it.

#VII. What is adultery? If it means cheating, then I am opposed to adultery. Plus, cheating is also lying (#IX). But if someone interprets it to mean premarital sex or "impure thoughts", then hell no.

#VIII. I do not steal. It's immoral.

#IX. If that means "don't lie", then yes. I'm pretty honest. But there are different kinds of lies and different circumstances. So I can't say that I have never lied.

#X. Covet is a weird word. It sounds like a translation from a different language into King James English.
"to desire (what belongs to another) inordinately or culpably."
"to desire wrongfully, inordinately, or without due regard for the rights of others."
"to want to have something very much, especially something that belongs to someone else."
No. I don't "covet". I don't feel jealous.

My life is dedicated to serving and pleasing Mistress. I endeavor to embody your virtues and fulfill Her desires with unwavering commitment. If my actions align with the 10 Commandments, it is purely coincidental, for it is Her will that guides me. In my heart, there is only one law: to obey and worship Her.

Should I falter in my obedience, I willingly accept the consequences in the form of Her divine punishments. The leash I wear is a constant reminder of my submission, while breast bondage serves as a symbol of my dedication to Her desires. Blindfolded, I learn to trust in Her guidance, and the ball gag muffles my cries, ensuring my focus remains solely on pleasing Her.

In the embrace of a slave collar, I find solace, knowing I belong to Mistress completely. Phallic gags teach me the art of silence and humility, while full-head hoods obscure my world, leaving only thoughts of Her. Mummification, a cocoon from which I emerge renewed, reinforces my commitment to Her will. And, the withholding of orgasm, a sweet torment, heightens my anticipation for Her divine touch.

Anal dilation is a lesson in surrender, preparing me for whatever pleasures She bestows. Whipping and spanking, though painful, remind me of my place and the need to improve. Forced masturbation, under Her watchful gaze, teaches me the control She holds over my most intimate desires.

Hi Jenn🌺

I don't have them memorized, and I would like to have a framed paper of some kind with all of them listed and hang it on my wall in my apartment.

I have always tried to lead a life as close to the 10 commandments as possible.

That's one reason I do not lie, but it's not the only reason.

I would like to have a husband to make love with, because that's how I was raised.

I think I will grab my trusty bible I have right next to me and look them up and write them down to refer to.
I'm glad there are only 10 because that's very manageable.

D_Bone_Steak · Answer

No. I like to kill people. It's pretty fun and I keep getting away with it.

Do you follow the 10 commandments or at least try?

Does having sex with a dead body count as adultery?

... I'm just asking because if she's sexy, might as well hit while she's still warm.

DrPepper12 · Answer

I don't need commandments or gods to be ethical and i sure dont need an narcissistic, sadistic, egotistical "omniscient and omnipotent" hallucination with a threat of damnation if i don't love him and his sacrifice to himself to save us from himself. He can DO EVERYTHING but manage his checkbook that he ALWAYS needs more money? GTFOH

LiamJHayden · Answer

1. Try, but often fail as money is sometimes functionally my "god"
2. Again, sometimes things can functionally be that without having been fashioned with that intent.
3. Yes
4. Not really, because I set aside Sunday not Saturday.
5. Yes.
6. Again, wishing death upon one not deserving of that penalty is akin to this functionally.
7. If we extend this to fornication, I am a failure.
8. I think I do. I make sure my taxes are correct and I return change if given too much.
9. Fail. I sometimes judge too quickly, so in a respect that is a violation.
10. Yes. I rejoice in the successes of others.

Telekinetic-Potato · Answer

When I first started questioning my religion. I had this conversation with a friend who’s an atheist and we both agreed God or no God, whoever wrote that was a genius and if everyone at least tried to follow it there would be relative world peace.

Skinhead-1979 · Answer

I am not religious... however, a couple of them have become part of our [Criminal] laws. While I am an Anarchist, and I am allergic to Authority, most of our laws... including the few Commandments listed in the 10 Commandments that match some of our laws... are fair; and I do live up them as best as I can.

Honour thy father and thy mother? They do not deserve that

DJB72 · Answer

I try, but since I'm an extremely fallible human I fail miserably.

Christ said the entire Law could be summed up in two: Love the Lord with all your heart, soul and strength, and Love your neighbour as you love yourself.

Those two are actually harder to give the appearance of keeping, simply because they're between your heart and God Himself.

sawno · Answer

I don't try to, I maximize being myself that's the only thing that counts. I do not submit to any god instead I expect that if I have a creator he'd want me to be myself as much as possible. Means I end up following the common sense ones from this automatically, but I don't try to actively remember them or strive to follow them.

OlderAndWiser · Answer

Any honest Christian will admit that they try but fail, and then they try again!

FunkyMonkee · Answer

I mostly paid attention to 5, 6, 8 & 9. I mostly do 7 but, I've actually been a victim of it because it's ONLY married women that wanna fuck me! If it hadn't been for those 3, I'd STILL be a virgin!!!

strangeatcircleK · Answer

I think we fail to degrees on all. We all take pens from the office without asking, we have all looked at people in a lustful way which is essentially adultery

I say that because it's impossible to set absolutes. However, there is understanding and grace. Allowing us to fail but try again or possibly learn and get better over time.

I feel forgiveness, grace and mercy have a lot to play in this

Anonymous · Answer

Oh I'm not religious and the first five rules are incredibly rigid, creating fear and creating control - there is no reason to follow and does not reflect ethics at all. The last five though, are perfectly understandable, especially in maintaining a society that functions well overall.

OfDeath · Answer

1 - 4 are irrelevant so no.

5 - I try my best.

6 - When it comes to other humans.

7 - Is up to interpretation.

8 - Unless it’s company money.

9 - I mind my own business and stay out of other’s unless it’s absolutely necessary to say something.

10. That means a lack of drive so no.

So overall no not really but only the ones which are only pertinent to religious loyalty and I’m irreligious so they don’t actually matter.

Ladsin2 · Answer

I’ve never seethed a goat in its mother’s milk.
On the other hand, I’ve never kept the Feast Of Unleavened Bread in the month of Abib…

The commandments you’re referencing are part of the original 613 commandments which Moses destroyed. The Ten Commandments of the covenant are different and include the two I mentioned.

Drewtate · Answer

I try but I do covet my neighbour's ass

Jerre · Answer

I try to live that lifestyle, except for #7 which probably equates more to the married women I fuck rather than me. Just seems like a lot of women want to fuck me, probably hearing from other women how much I make them cum.

@jennz6  Just One Word, Two Letters... NO .

blueonblack22 · Answer

Even if you are an atheist most of these commandments are just common sense to live in a civilized society. If nobody hesitated to kill, steal, commit adultery, etc. then society would cease to function.

purplepoppy · Answer

Nope not all. The bits like thou shalt not kill or thou shalt not steal, I kinda get those but the thing about craven images, is that really as serious as murder? Am I really going to hell for admiring my neighbours donkey?

normalice · Answer

I'm not religious. I make a point of not harming anyone on purpose. If that's not enough I have bad news for the people who claim to follow the ten commandments but then want to bring fascism to the US.
