Ten Commandment Alternatives

Ten Commandment Alternatives are alternatives to the biblical Ten Commandments. Several alternative versions have been created, and no consensus exists as to a single authoritative version. An alternative to the Ten Commandments was recently popularized by Richard Dawkins in his book The God Delusion.
== Examples ==
==== Georgia Guidestones ====
The Georgia Guidestones are large granite blocks that are inscribed with an alternative set of ten commandments.
==== The God Delusion ====
The alternative to the Ten Commandments cited by Dawkins in The God Delusion is:
# Do not do to others what you would not want them to do to you
# In all things, strive to cause no harm
# Treat your fellow human beings, your fellow living things, and the world in general with love, honesty, faithfulness and respect.
# Do not overlook evil or shrink from administering justice, but always be ready to forgive wrongdoing freely admitted and honestly regretted.
# Live life with a sense of joy and wonder
# Always seek to be learning something new
# Test all things; always check your ideas against the facts, and be ready to discard even a cherished belief if it does not conform to them.
# Never seek to censor or cut yourself off from dissent; always respect the right of others to disagree with you.
# Form independent opinions on the basis of your own reason and experience; do not allow yourself to be led blindly by others.
# Question everything
==== Tellapallet ====
Another set of ten commandments is:
# Do unto others as you would have others do unto you
# Preserve things of beauty for future generations to enjoy
# Never stop learning and growing
# Be tolerant and open-minded
# Question authority
# Make decisions based on reason and facts, rather than superstition and hope
# Tell the truth
# Resolve conflicts with dialogue rather than violence
# Oppose injustice 
# Don't discriminate based on race, gender, or religion
==== Pagan ====
Another set of alternative commandments is:
#Treat the Earth and all that dwell thereon with respect.
#Remain close to the Great Spirit.
#Show great consideration for your fellow beings.
#Work together for the benefit of all humankind.
#Give assistance and kindness wherever needed.
#Look after the well-being of mind and body.
#Dedicate a share of your efforts to the greater good.
#Be truthful and honest at all times.
#Take full responsibility for all your actions
#Do what you know to be right.
