Letters: Ten Commandments provide instructions on how to live
Whatever creed or religion or non-religion you subscribe to, striving to follow The Ten Commandments benefits all as instruction given by our Creator (of which we all have one) so that we can have peace with one another. As a wise person once said, “If we just obeyed four of the commandments we could sleep with our doors unlocked at night.”
If there were no rules for the sport of football and everyone just ran around on the field as they wanted, chaos would ensue and there would be no game. It’s the same with fallen humanity. Without wise instruction on how to live with each other, we have chaos and division, necessitating law enforcement and courts, etc.
If the commandments are egregiously disobeyed, we come to a point of wars because seriously trampling rights of others is what causes wars. Who wants chaos and division in their lives? We were given instruction on how to respect and live peacefully with each other not because of authority but because God loves us.
