A while ago I saw on a Baptist Church bulletin board the comment 
that pointed out that the Ten Commandments were Commandments, not 
suggestions.  
This struck me as funny.  So here, I'll give my take on the Ten 
commandments under the title

	The Ten Suggestions.

1)   You should be kind to everyone, even those who are unkind 
to you, for people tend to repay kindness with kindness and 
unkindness with unkindness.

2)   Be on guard against so called ethical rules that lead to 
unkind actions.

3)   Never rationalize an unkind act by thinking that the act 
was really an indirect kindness.

4)   Be ever ready to do good deeds for friends and associates.

5)  Be ever ready to listen to counsel from friends and associates, 
for however wise you are, you don't know everything.

6)  Avoid harming anyone.

7)  Fulfill your promises.

8)  Earn everything you wish to have.

9)  Don't lie.

10)  Don't wish to have that which belongs to someone else.
