All of them, but to make them better. I would change it from 10 to 2; 1)Love God sincerely, and 1)Love your neighbor as you love yourself. These two pretty much sum up all 10 anyway, and folks these days have to short of an attention span to read all ten.

"Honor thou mother and thou father, you can get revenge later when they let the 'respectful' child pick out their nursing home."

"You shall not murder" and no means no.

Only two major ones: -You shall not commit adultery: According to Christianity, anyone who did not seek annulment or divorce and have a live-in relationship, he is committing adultery. I want to see it change. As far as person is one serious committed relationship, regardless if he is divorced or not, should not be considered adultery. -You shall not covet your neighbor’s wife, or male or female slave, or ox, or donkey, or anything that belongs to your neighbor: c'mon everything my neighbour has is the best, the best cottage, best husband, the best kids, the best house, even the cats and dogs are so nice. I must be allowed to covet everything my neighbour has.

I only get to improve ONE of them?! Oh no...the delima! :'( :'( I have at least some issues with all of the Decalogue. Ok, I've figured out a way to get around your rules. Commandment #1: Thou shalt treat EVERYONE, without exception, with respect and human dignity; wherein you cause the least harm possible and ignore anything else said in the name of "God" (including the rest of these commandments).
