The 10 compared to the 7.

[Shadow Wolf]

Let's compare the Biblical 10 Commandments to the Satanic Temple's Seven Fundamental Tenets. People will often claim the 10 Commandments from the Bible are morally superior and claim them as foundational. But is that the case?
The 10 Commandments.

1. You shall have no other gods before Me.
2. You shall make no idols.
3. You shall not take the name of the Lord your God in vain.
4. Keep the Sabbath day holy.
5. Honor your father and your mother.
6. You shall not murder.
7. You shall not commit adultery.
8. You shall not steal.
9. You shall not bear false witness against your neighbor.
10. You shall not covet.

6, 8 and 9 are given. If you have to be told to not lie, steal and kill then you have some serious problems. And they're basically universal laws anyways. Those aren't radical, noteworthy, ground breaking or worth bragging about.
The rest? How does that help make us better people? 1, 2, 3 and 4 don't and exist only to serve and satisfy Jehovah's ego. You can cut them all out and morally and ethically not be any better or worse for it. But as you can be a good person without they are unnecessary.q
5 is entirely backwards as respect is to be earned amd a blanket "honor your parents (same goes for elders)" has excused , justified and normalized far too much abuse. Thou shalt be someone your child is proud to have as a parent would have been vastly superior.
9 isn't necessarily a problem. If someone is in an open/polygamist then just mind your own damn business. If not, cheating on your partner isn't good, but the Bible doesn't specify that. George Carlin said it better with "thou shalt be faithful and honest to thy provider if thy nookie."
10, yeah that's not really bad until it becomes greed and destructive. It gets us places, it gets things done, helps add meaning to our lives and let's us grow and develop. What is also does, and why it belongs with the first four, is it exists to serve those who wrote it and enforce it. Don't desire what we have because you'll make god mad. Don't blame us for telling you not to upset the status quo, it's god who made it a very special important rule.

Now let's look at the Seven Fundamental Tenets frim the Satanic Temple.
I One should strive to act with compassion and empathy toward all creatures in accordance with reason.
II The struggle for justice is an ongoing and necessary pursuit that should prevail over laws and institutions.
III One’s body is inviolable, subject to one’s own will alone.
IV The freedoms of others should be respected, including the freedom to offend. To willfully and unjustly encroach upon the freedoms of another is to forgo one's own.
V Beliefs should conform to one's best scientific understanding of the world. One should take care never to distort scientific facts to fit one's beliefs.
VI People are fallible. If one makes a mistake, one should do one's best to rectify it and resolve any harm that might have been caused.
VII Every tenet is a guiding principle designed to inspire nobility in action and thought. The spirit of compassion, wisdom, and justice should always prevail over the written or spoken word.

Compassion, empathy, justice, freedom and bodily autonomy? These don't even exist in the 10 but go a long way in making the world a better place.
Letting our best method of objectively gathering information about the world and universe around us? Especially today when we can si easily gather a world of information at our fingertips why shouldn't this be a guiding principle?
VI is something the Bible won't see until Jesus, so it's clearly not part of the 10.
VII Not only summarizes the first ones, it goes a step further by saying let the spirit of compassion, wisdom and justice prevail over the written word. That goes against much of Christianity, especially American Evangelicism.

How exactly are the even that good? Especially in regards to American amd Constitutional values why shouldn't we instead put the Seven Fundamental Tenets in courthouses?

 

[The Hammer]

Yup. I like the seven myself over the ten any day.

 

[Father Heathen]

Children need wholesome goodness like the 7 tenets.

Many of the old moral/ethical values transcend time. Even if reworded and using various terminology.

That's the best focus, the uniformity of 'basic common sense'. Personal responsibility: the individual choice.

 

[Shadow Wolf]

Many of the old moral/ethical values transcend time. Even if reworded and using various terminology.

I just showed how the 10 doesn't do that. If any thing we're better off just ditching it and replacing it with something better such as the Seven Fundamental Tenets.

 

[1213]

6, 8 and 9 are given. If you have to be told to not lie, steal and kill then you have some serious problems. And they're basically universal laws anyways. Those aren't radical, noteworthy, ground breaking or worth bragging about.

Difficult to believe they are universal, when so many people don't live according to them.

The rest? How does that help make us better people? 1, 2, 3 and 4 don't and exist only to serve and satisfy Jehovah's ego.

In Bible love God means you keep His commandments, which basically are all in "love your neighbor as yourself". So, if you love God, it means you love your neighbor. I don't see how that can be twisted to something egoistical.

For this is the love of God, that we keep his commandments. His commandments are not grievous.
1 John 5:3
Jesus said to him, "'You shall love the Lord your God with all your heart, and with all your soul, and with all your mind.' This is the first and great commandment. A second likewise is this, 'You shall love your neighbor as yourself.' The whole law and the prophets depend on these two commandments."
Matt. 22:37-40
Love does not work evil to the neighbor. Then love is the fulfillment of law.
Romans 13:10

I think that is supreme law.

5 is entirely backwards as respect is to be earned amd a blanket "honor your parents (same goes for elders)" has excused , justified and normalized far too much abuse. Thou shalt be someone your child is proud to have as a parent would have been vastly superior.

Respect doesn't mean that you must accept anything. I think it is sad when people don't seem to get the meaning of it. But, on the other hand, maybe it is not then a problem, if you are not respected.

7 isn't necessarily a problem. If someone is in an open/polygamist then just mind your own damn business.

It seems to cause many problems, when people are not faithful and commit adultery.

10, yeah that's not really bad until it becomes greed and destructive. It gets us places, it gets things done, helps add meaning to our lives and let's us grow and develop. What is also does, and why it belongs with the first four, is it exists to serve those who wrote it and enforce it. Don't desire what we have because you'll make god mad. Don't blame us for telling you not to upset the status quo, it's god who made it a very special important rule.

There is nothing good in coveting.

Now let's look at the Seven Fundamental Tenets frim the Satanic Temple.
I One should strive to act with compassion and empathy toward all creatures in accordance with reason.

Is that copied from Jesus who says we should love others?

 

[SalixIncendium]

While I like the 7, I've always been a fan of the 8.

 

[Shadow Wolf]

Difficult to believe they are universal, when so many people don't live according to them.

Doesn't matter what you believe, those laws have basically been found in all cultures, including texts much older than the OT (such as the Code of Hamurabi).

In Bible love God means you keep His commandments, which basically are all in "love your neighbor as yourself". So, if you love God, it means you love your neighbor. I don't see how that can be twisted to something egoistical.

...

I think that is supreme law.

That doesn't address the prohibition on worshipping other gods, taking his name in vein or working on aspecific day. Those commandments are useless as far as ethics amd morality go.

Respect doesn't mean that you must accept anything. I think it is sad when people don't seem to get the meaning of it. But, on the other hand, maybe it is not then a problem, if you are not respected.

It has nothing to do with being respected (I generally am). It has everything to di with earning respect. Like my dad. There's no reason for me to respect him amd I don't. None of us do because he abandoned his family (and a list of other reasons). The problem with the Commandment is it says I should respect someone who cheated on his wife/my mom, takes care of others before his own family and refused to stop fighting when there was a death in the family. It's why respect should be earned, amd the Commandment of poor quality as it should have been reversed to put pressure on the parent to be respectable.
But if you have to respect a parent who cam sell you into slavery then it'll make it easier to keep respecting a priest class/"god" who can do worse.

It seems to cause many problems, when people are not faithful and commit adultery.

As I said, if it's am open relationship then just butt out. That isn't being unfaithful amd isn't cheating.

There is nothing good in coveting.

It is good until it becomes destructive. You covet a better life so you get degree or certification to get a better job. You desire to be like the rockstars so you learn to play guitar. You feel envious of those who don't have a boss so you start your own business. There's nothing wrong with any of this. Want and desire, after all, are basic motivors of ours. Add some ambition and drive and things start to happen.

Is that copied from Jesus who says we should love others?

No. It goes further than what Jesus and the Bible go. Justice, liberty, rights and bodily autonomy are foreign to the Bible.

 

[Shadow Wolf]

While I like the 7, I've always been a fan of the 8.

Of course you do. It forbids us from judging your eyesore, blindness and madness inducing fashion choices.

 

[1213]

Doesn't matter what you believe, those laws have basically been found in all cultures, including texts much older than the OT (such as the Code of Hamurabi).

I don't see any good reason to think it is older.

That doesn't address the prohibition on worshipping other gods, taking his name in vein or working on aspecific day. Those commandments are useless as far as ethics amd morality go.

Worshiping other gods is not truthful. Using his name in vain, like in saying "oh God" as filler word, erodes the meaning of the word and is therefore harmful. And keeping the Shabbat is probably not what your employer likes, but it can be good for your health.

It has nothing to do with being respected (I generally am). It has everything to di with earning respect.

If someone has stayed alive many years, he deserves respect for that.

Like my dad. There's no reason for me to respect him amd I don't. None of us do because he abandoned his family (and a list of other reasons). The problem with the Commandment is it says I should respect someone who cheated on his wife/my mom,...

And imagine, by what the Bible tells, he would deserve death for being unfaithful.

It is good until it becomes destructive. You covet a better life so you get degree or certification to get a better job. You desire to be like the rockstars so you learn to play guitar. You feel envious of those who don't have a boss so you start your own business. There's nothing wrong with any of this. Want and desire, after all, are basic motivors of ours. Add some ambition and drive and things start to happen.

Desiring something own is not the same as coveting someone else's stuff. Coveting is about desiring to have something that belongs to someone else. And it can lead for example to murder, which is why it is not good.

No. It goes further than what Jesus and the Bible go. Justice, liberty, rights and bodily autonomy are foreign to the Bible.

Sorry, I disagree with that.

 

[Shadow Wolf]

I don't see any good reason to think it is older.

The Code of Hamurabi comes from around 1750 BC. That predates the OT by a few centuries.

Worshiping other gods is not truthful. Using his name in vain, like in saying "oh God" as filler word, erodes the meaning of the word and is therefore harmful. And keeping the Shabbat is probably not what your employer likes, but it can be good for your health.

It's just as truthful or dishonest as worshipping Jehovah. We don't need any gods to be abetter person.
Saying using something like oh god is harmful as it erodes the meaning is bad doesn't automatically make it bad. I say it's good to desanctify the sacrosanct.

If someone has stayed alive many years, he deserves respect for that.

Lots of Nazis got to die of old age in peace and in their beds at home. They didn't deserve a shred of respect, especially just because they lived a long time.

And imagine, by what the Bible tells, he would deserve death for being unfaithful.

And the death penalty is barbaric and inappropriate. It solves amd fixes nothing.

Desiring something own is not the same as coveting someone else's stuff. Coveting is about desiring to have something that belongs to someone else. And it can lead for example to murder, which is why it is not good.

Hiw often do people murder because they covet what others have (its very rare). And here's the definition of covet as you don't seem to be getting it right.
covet /kŭv′ĭt/

intransitive verb​

1. To feel strong or immoderate desire for (that which is another's).
2. To wish for (something) longingly. synonym: desire.

Nothing is wrong with that.

Sorry, I disagree with that.

Then show me where bodily autonomy is valued in the Bible? You can't. Show me where it promotes rights and liberty. It's not there. Ot even defers justice to what it calls righteous judgements, and rarely do the severe penalties it ascribes match the crime.

 

[1213]

The Code of Hamurabi comes from around 1750 BC. That predates the OT by a few centuries.

Only if you believe so.

We don't need any gods to be a better person.

I could maybe accept that, if people would be better.

Saying using something like oh god is harmful as it erodes the meaning is bad doesn't automatically make it bad. I say it's good to desanctify the sacrosanct.

So, if people would just start to use your name the same way, it would be ok to you?

And the death penalty is barbaric and inappropriate. It solves ad fixes nothing.

I don't support that people kill others. But I think it is cheap, safe and effective. After that the evil person doesn't do anything evil anymore.

intransitive verb

1. To feel strong or immoderate desire for (that which is another's).

I think that is what I said.

Then show me where bodily autonomy is valued in the Bible? You can't. Show me where it promotes rights and liberty.

The commandment "love others as yourself" leads to that.

 

[Shadow Wolf]

Only if you believe so.

It's not a belief but fact.

I could maybe accept that, if people would be better.

Doesn't matter if you accept it or not. It's needless for ethics and morality.

So, if people would just start to use your name the same way, it would be ok to you?

That's not what we're discussing. It's the reality that saying something like "god dammit" isn't a commandment of morality but serves only to protect the ego of a very egotistical god.

I don't support that people kill others. But I think it is cheap, safe and effective. After that the evil person doesn't do anything evil anymore.

I don't accept that people are evil. And keeping someone who is a danger to others in prison is also am effective way to prevent another murder, and that solution involves no stones being cast.

I think that is what I said.

You didn't get it all and deliberately cut out where it says a synonym is desire. There's nothing wrong with coveting.

The commandment "love others as yourself" leads to that.

That's not one of the 10, and no it doesn't. Such as abortion. It doesn't necessarily allow for that even though it is properly the woman's choice (note, we aren't debating abortion). It doesn't forbid slavery. And, of course, not everyone loves themself.

 

[1213]

It's the reality that saying something like "god dammit" isn't a commandment of morality but serves only to protect the ego of a very egotistical god.

I disagree with that. And I think it comes visible in that what you would think, if your name would be shouted randomly and constantly without any reasonable meaning.

You didn't get it all and deliberately cut out where it says a synonym is desire. There's nothing wrong with coveting.

It is form of desire. A desire that is directed to something that belongs to someone else. Desire to have something else that doesn't belong to other person is not the same as coveting.

That's not one of the 10, and no it doesn't. Such as abortion. It doesn't necessarily allow for that even though it is properly the woman's choice (note, we aren't debating abortion). It doesn't forbid slavery. And, of course, not everyone loves themself.

All of the ten are in the one.

Jesus said to him, "'You shall love the Lord your God with all your heart, and with all your soul, and with all your mind.' This is the first and great commandment. A second likewise is this, 'You shall love your neighbor as yourself.' The whole law and the prophets depend on these two commandments."
Matt. 22:37-40
For this is the love of God, that we keep his commandments. His commandments are not grievous.
1 John 5:3

If you love your neighbor as yourself, you are keeping the commandments, also the first one, because it is fulfilled by keeping the commandments.

Everyone loves themselves. And it means for example in this case, no one wants anything to happen to themselves without them wanting or accepting it. This means, if you don't want to be aborted against your will, you don't do that to others. And also, if you don't what to be kept as a slave against your will, you don't do that to others.

 

[IndigoChild5559]

Let's compare the Biblical 10 Commandments to the Satanic Temple's Seven Fundamental Tenets. People will often claim the 10 Commandments from the Bible are morally superior and claim them as foundational. But is that the case?
The 10 Commandments.

1. You shall have no other gods before Me.
2. You shall make no idols.
3. You shall not take the name of the Lord your God in vain.
4. Keep the Sabbath day holy.
5. Honor your father and your mother.
6. You shall not murder.
7. You shall not commit adultery.
8. You shall not steal.
9. You shall not bear false witness against your neighbor.
10. You shall not covet.

6, 8 and 9 are given. If you have to be told to not lie, steal and kill then you have some serious problems. And they're basically universal laws anyways. Those aren't radical, noteworthy, ground breaking or worth bragging about.
The rest? How does that help make us better people? 1, 2, 3 and 4 don't and exist only to serve and satisfy Jehovah's ego. You can cut them all out and morally and ethically not be any better or worse for it. But as you can be a good person without they are unnecessary.q
5 is entirely backwards as respect is to be earned amd a blanket "honor your parents (same goes for elders)" has excused , justified and normalized far too much abuse. Thou shalt be someone your child is proud to have as a parent would have been vastly superior.
9 isn't necessarily a problem. If someone is in an open/polygamist then just mind your own damn business. If not, cheating on your partner isn't good, but the Bible doesn't specify that. George Carlin said it better with "thou shalt be faithful and honest to thy provider if thy nookie."
10, yeah that's not really bad until it becomes greed and destructive. It gets us places, it gets things done, helps add meaning to our lives and let's us grow and develop. What is also does, and why it belongs with the first four, is it exists to serve those who wrote it and enforce it. Don't desire what we have because you'll make god mad. Don't blame us for telling you not to upset the status quo, it's god who made it a very special important rule.

Now let's look at the Seven Fundamental Tenets frim the Satanic Temple.
I One should strive to act with compassion and empathy toward all creatures in accordance with reason.
II The struggle for justice is an ongoing and necessary pursuit that should prevail over laws and institutions.
III One’s body is inviolable, subject to one’s own will alone.
IV The freedoms of others should be respected, including the freedom to offend. To willfully and unjustly encroach upon the freedoms of another is to forgo one's own.
V Beliefs should conform to one's best scientific understanding of the world. One should take care never to distort scientific facts to fit one's beliefs.
VI People are fallible. If one makes a mistake, one should do one's best to rectify it and resolve any harm that might have been caused.
VII Every tenet is a guiding principle designed to inspire nobility in action and thought. The spirit of compassion, wisdom, and justice should always prevail over the written or spoken word.

Compassion, empathy, justice, freedom and bodily autonomy? These don't even exist in the 10 but go a long way in making the world a better place.
Letting our best method of objectively gathering information about the world and universe around us? Especially today when we can si easily gather a world of information at our fingertips why shouldn't this be a guiding principle?
VI is something the Bible won't see until Jesus, so it's clearly not part of the 10.
VII Not only summarizes the first ones, it goes a step further by saying let the spirit of compassion, wisdom and justice prevail over the written word. That goes against much of Christianity, especially American Evangelicism.

How exactly are the even that good? Especially in regards to American amd Constitutional values why shouldn't we instead put the Seven Fundamental Tenets in courthouses?

Please know that I am not opposed to the general point of your thread. However, I want to remind you and others that the list of 10 commandments you gave is not the same list that Catholics or Jews would give. All Christians and Jews accept the same 17 verses in Exodus 20, but we divide them into ten groups differently. For example, for us Jews, the first one is "I am the LORD your God who brought you out of Egypt. The commandment to "have no other gods before me" is commandment number 2 for us. For Protestants, the sabbath is commandment #4. But for a Catholic, it is commandment #3.

I am aware. (I'm also aware that what people call the 10 Commandments isn't what the Bible itself calls the 10 Commandments) The same points apply.

 

[Shadow Wolf]

disagree with that. And I think it comes visible in that what you would think, if your name would be shouted randomly and constantly without any reasonable meaning.

That doesn't explain or demonstrate why it's bad.
Amd without any reasonable meaning? Our names basically don't have that. Like my name, in one language it means princess, in another language it means plate. Does me being called my name detract from the accepted meaning of the word in those languages?

t is form of desire. A desire that is directed to something that belongs to someone else. Desire to have something else that doesn't belong to other person is not the same as coveting.

No, covet and desire are synonyms. Even if they are there is nothing wrong with coveting. With some healthy drive and ambition it can even be the start of a new amd good thing.

All of the ten are in the one.

Jesus said to him, "'You shall love the Lord your God with all your heart, and with all your soul, and with all your mind.' This is the first and great commandment. A second likewise is this, 'You shall love your neighbor as yourself.' The whole law and the prophets depend on these two commandments."
Matt. 22:37-40
For this is the love of God, that we keep his commandments. His commandments are not grievous.
1 John 5:3

That does us nothing for ethics, morality and making ourselves into better people. It's entirely needless, useless and unnecessary for making good moral decisions.

you love your neighbor as yourself, you are keeping the commandments, also the first one, because it is fulfilled by keeping the commandments.

Blanket love is the tolerance of abuse. And doing one cannot necessarily lead to the other. These different things, love of god and love your neighbor and yourself. Like the Klan. I have no doubts they love Jehovah and Jesus. Their non Protestant, non Anglo-Saxon neighbors? That's a no.

Everyone loves themselves. And it means for example in this case, no one wants anything to happen to themselves without them wanting or accepting it. This means, if you don't want to be aborted against your will, you don't do that to others. And also, if you don't what to be kept as a slave against your will, you don't do that to others.

Not everyone loves themselves. It's a fact of life. And this so called "golden rule" is really nothing more than gilded feces that will fall short of proper morality and ethical considerations time and time again. How? Because properly our ethical and moral considerations must begin with what others want. This means something like people who love getting and giving hugs must ask people before hugging to avoid making others uncomfortable and causing needless distress (such as for those with autism, who frequently do not like or want to be touched in such ways).

 

[1213]

That doesn't explain or demonstrate why it's bad.
Amd without any reasonable meaning?

In this case I mean, if for example a person next to you would say your name randomly constantly, you probably would first ask, has he something to say to you. If he would say no and soon after that say again your name, you would probably ask what... ...and at some point you would start to ignore it. And then, even if he would have something to say to you, you would ignore it, because you would have learned that it is meaningless, he has nothing for you. That way the word loses meaning or purpose.

Not everyone loves themselves.

I disagree with that. But, it may be that you don't know love as I know.

 

[Shadow Wolf]

I disagree with that. But, it may be that you don't know love as I know.

You can disagree all you want, but it makes you look unaware and naive. Indeed there are actually a lot of people who hate themselves. It's a basic fact of life.

That's not really going on or explaining why the Commandment is better than useless.
