Journal-- The Judeo-Christian model of moral behavior, the Ten Commandments, identifies 10 essential rules of virtue and goodness: You shall...
...have no other gods before me.
...not make for yourself an idol.
...not take the Lord’s name in vain.
...remember the Sabbath day.
...honor your father and mother.
...not commit adultery.
...not steal.
...not lie.
...not kill.
...not covet.
