Just when you thought the world couldn't get crazier the Vatican goes and does something like this. If you read through the following ten commandments from the "Guidelines for the Pastoral Care of the Road" issued by the Vatican today you'll see that they are pretty much principles of any careful and conscientious driver with a kind heart. This is a good example of principles that do not require religion to teach us. Sane and logical parenting will do.
The Ten Commandments for road use are as follows:
- 1. You shall not kill.
- 2. The road shall be for you a means of communion between people and not of mortal harm.
- 3. Courtesy, uprightness and prudence will help you deal with unforeseen events.
- 4. Be charitable and help your neighbor in need, especially victims of accidents.
- 5. Cars shall not be for you an expression of power and domination, and an occasion of sin.
- 6. Charitably convince the young and not-so-young not to drive when they are not in a fit condition to do so.
- 7. Support the families of accident victims.
- 8. Bring guilty motorists and their victims together, at the appropriate time, so that they can undergo the liberating experience of forgiveness.
- 9. On the road, protect the more vulnerable party.
- 10. Feel responsible towards others.
