  The 10 modern day commandments Welcome to Mark and Pete Yes,
• 0:11
  there's a lot of chatter in cultural commentary circles that
• 0:14
  perhaps society needs some sort of moral reset.
• 0:19
  Perhaps we should bring back the 10 commandments.
• 0:21
  Perhaps we should update the 10 commandments for the modern age.
• 0:25
  Well, here are the 10 modern day commandments.

• 1:31
  Fi and Commandment 10. Thou shall not outsource one's
• 1:37
  brain to AI. Yes, well, very, very.
• 1:43
  What's wrong with those commandments?
• 1:45
  We should bring them in immediately.
• 1:46
  I. Think.
• 1:47
  Of this reflection world of. Today.
• 1:50
  So Mr. Pete, you know that when we think about the 10
• 1:53
  commandments, they are meant to act as our moral compass.
• 1:57
  What has the world done in recent times?
• 2:00
  We seem to have lost our way, and maybe these 10 modern
• 2:04
  commandments could actually help us rectify what's going on.
• 2:08
  Or maybe we should just go back to the original?
• 2:10
  What are your? Thoughts maybe?
• 2:12
  Well, I've been the one that hit home.
• 2:13
  To me, there was not committing weirdness against thy neighbor.
• 2:17
  I've got some pretty weird neighbors, but the yeah.
• 2:21
  You being one of them. You know, there's there, there
• 2:25
  has been this suggestion that we should bring back the 10
• 2:28
  commandments. It used to be that the 10
• 2:30
  commandments were displayed at the front of every Church of
• 2:33
  England church. They tend to be painted over
• 2:35
  these days under the idea that, oh, it's about loving each
• 2:38
  other. Yeah, but loving each other and
• 2:41
  loving God, which is part of the 10 commandments.
• 2:43
  The first four are loving God about how you love God rest
• 2:47
  about how you love others but unless you love God, you know
• 2:50
  you know in a position to love others.
• 2:51
  That's the idea behind it as I see it.
• 2:56
  You know, we need to do those loving God, being forgiven by
• 2:59
  God, as Christians see is the start of being able to live a
• 3:03
  good life involves being able to keep the 10 commands.
• 3:06
  You know, it's like a privilege to be able to keep them rather
• 3:09
  than being laws that are set down upon you.
• 3:11
  But still, they're a good way to keep society working.
• 3:15
  And there's in the the commentary out there's this
• 3:17
  idea, Oh, we need to have some sort of moral reset, as I
• 3:20
  mentioned at the start. Well, Calum me surprised.
• 3:23
  Yes, we do need to do that. But look, there's something
• 3:26
  ready for us here as we as a Christian country.
• 3:30
  Why don't we just get back to try to live up to the 10
• 3:33
  commandments and then have a weekly reminder in church that
• 3:36
  we need to repent when we haven't lived up to them and
• 3:39
  then start again the next week. Why not do that?
• 3:41
  That's that's how our society built, to be the strong culture
• 3:45
  that everyone wants to come and be a part of in Britain and
• 3:48
  actually in America and other parts of the Western world.
• 3:52
  Well, I agree, but I think that probably most important is that
• 3:56
  whether you are adhering to the original 10 commandments or
• 3:59
  indeed the modern day commandments, I would like to
• 4:02
  highlight, Mr. Pete, that there is an 11th commandment and that
• 4:06
  is thou shalt always listen to the Mark and Pete podcast.
• 4:12
  Amen.
