Hippocratic Oath: Nice. Indeed an elegant rule. Doesn't seem to be as comprehensive a guide for daily life as the Ten Commandments, but ok...

Asimov: Strikingly similar to the libertarian credo if not overly simplistic. Works for robots. Guess I should have qualifed my question a bit better. Apologies.

Your Link: I dutifully clicked through and proceeded to skim through 4+ pages of feverish, defensive ranting. Nowhere amonst the non-sequiters and Escher-like logic did I find a moral code.

"on-ramp" posits that religion and morality exist separately. I'm just asking for some backbone to support the statement. Respectfully...

Edit: Actually I agree 100% with on-ramp. Religion and morality can indeed exist separately. But again - a better moral code than the 10 Commandments, please? Or here's one to bake your noodle: Fine, you don't believe in God. Taking God out of the picture, can you find a more concise and/or profound code to live by? Am I being devil's advocate tonight? YUP. I've had a LOOOOT to drink (Beer, approved by good Christian monks for centuries...)
