I would write a "Holy" book of rules. 

I would draw a lot from Christianity and the life of Jesus (ex: golden rule, love, ect).

Some examples ~ 

 

1. Ascribe inherit value to every human being. 

Perception of human value varies from believing no one having value, to belief in varying degrees of value, or every individual having equal value. Regardless of personal convictions it's not the personal view of people that is of importance. Treat all humans as pertaining to equal intrinsic value, and as if they have a ‘soul’ (even if it may never be confirmed).

2. Strive for sympathy.

By viewing all as having a ‘soul’ one should in turn recognize their humanity leading them to attempt to find commonality with them. Recognizing commonality with others assists in bridging unnecessary divides. Treating all individuals with a base level of respect is important to achieving erudition. It is crucial to understand that treating an individual with respect is distinctly different from having respect for an individual. Having respect for an individual should be earned outright through experience not by status. There are individuals which may rise to the occasion to earn superior recognition. 

3. Avoid Tribalism. 

Tribalism is to be consciously avoided. No one ought to be treated lesser based on race, gender, sexuality, disability, religion, nationality, political stance, circadian rhythm, or other arbitrary classifications someone may be grouped into by themselves or others. Assess everyone on an individual basis by their own merits based on their communicated intentions, words and deeds. Give opportunities to revise the past (to forgive) if they show personal growth.

4. Self care.

Caring for oneself is important to be able to function in life. Self neglect will eventually just inhibit the journey of extending care to others. A person should attempt to keep themselves healthy in body, mind and soul. One must remember to tend to their own needs as they are not mere machinery performing tasks.

Physical needs: Sleep, food, shelter, etc.

Mental needs: Socializing, down time, etc.

Spiritual needs: Prayer, seeking truth, etc.

Do you believe all people have inherent value..? I like that philosophy.

I'm surprised you don't think that the Bible is the de facto perfect book... I suppose you're not a fundamentalist then.

The bible is good. There’s debate of which scrolls belong and which don’t. There’s debate on the meaning and intentions of the content.

I think I could clarify some things, but I’d have to be careful. I could especially enlighten those without the Holy Spirit/ good intentions.
