I suppose your way is easier not having to remember all those rules.

A great deal of the schisms in religion are based on people trying to differentiate the rules of God from those that man has tacked on.

   I suppose learning and understanding the rules is difficult enough, never mind having to remember and apply them.

   Have you seen these before ...

1) The greatest good for the greatest number (Bentham's Utilitarianism)
2) It harm none, do what ye will (The Wiccan Rede or the key part of it)
3) Do unto others as you would have them do unto you (The Bible and earlier sources)

   I think most people would agree to those simple formulations. The difficult part can be the details.
