Easy, gather the tenants off all the other faiths and put them up.

    That's actually a great idea. Have the children make them as a school assignment. Judaism is basically the same. That would be a fantastic start to accepting other people.

    "The Ten Commandments" are actually Jewish. Christians who read would know that Christianity is supposed to be based on two commandments, which according to their god are more important than the ten commandments.

    Christianity was a Jewish sect until at least 70 ad, so it actually is Jewish until they separated themselves out as being different.

    What 2 commandments are you talking about? I actually don't read the bible either since I'm not religious. I'm fascinated by the history of it though. Are you talking about the Golden Rule? What other one then.

    I've read a little bit of the Jewish scriptures to see what was taken out of the old testament and rearranged, that was kind of hilarious. The Book of Ruth is sexy time. The same guy who made it so priests couldn't marry probably got rid of that book too, but I can't remember when it was pulled. Probably at the council of Nicene.

    The two commandments he is talking about are found here: Matthew 22:36-40 36 “Teacher, which is the greatest commandment in the Law?”

    37 Jesus replied: “‘Love the Lord your God with all your heart and with all your soul and with all your mind.’[a] 38 This is the first and greatest commandment. 39 And the second is like it: ‘Love your neighbor as yourself.’[b] 40 All the Law and the Prophets hang on these two commandments.”

    These are what Jesus is quoted as saying in the New Testament of the Bible.

    Thanks for explaining that. We were taught in my catholic school the second one as the Golden Rule and the only commandment to follow because it encompasses all of them. The "Love the Lord..." one was barely brought up, if at all. Even catholics have many different versions of being taught. My west coast friends had a totally different experience.

    Ruth is still in though, it's right after Judges.

    This is actually somewhat untrue.

    Jesus wasn’t negating the Ten Commandments, he was simplifying them.

    But then, also, it’s important to know that he so insisted that everything in the Law of Moses and the Prophets are still in effect and would be until everything is “accomplished”

    He was, for example, perfectly okay with people turning foreigners into slaves.

    THERE ARE SEVEN FUNDAMENTAL TENETS

    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.

    the tenants off all the other faiths

    That's a LOT of people, none of which the founding fathers wanted to be allowed to vote.

    I mean because they're not land owners but sure, the other reason too!

    Yup cover the walls. Be inclusive rather than Christian inclusive, put up satanism, atheism, agnosticism ideals, make sure to include indigenous peoples. People will get posed and say it needs to come down but can’t justify taking one down without taking others. And sure let’s do religion month and talk about each of the tenets.

    It might be different for some people, for example as an atheist I try to follow one rule only:

    Don't be an arsehole.

    Other people might have different prime principles.

    BTW, with my rule I'm not always successful.
