If this fellow was a pastor he wouldn't have time to sit and think about
stuff like this. Must be single with no kids too.

Check out the most comprehensive creed I have ever had
the misfortune to stumble on.  

http://faith.propadeutic.com/declaration.html

Poor fellow was obviously born in the wrong century.
He would have served well in the Long Parliament!

His section on the 5th commandment consumes 4 pages of
declarations.  Here is a sample.

I declare that we fail to lead responsibly if we
dissuade, discourage, forbid, or punish the good and
responsible works of our inferiors.
I declare that we fail to lead responsibly if we
advise, encourage, command, or reward unlawful or
inappropriate works of our inferiors.
I declare that we fail to lead responsibly if we
command things which our inferiors are unable to
perform.
I declare that we fail to lead responsibly if we leave
our inferiors to wrong, temptation, or danger through
improper supervision or provision for their safety.
I declare that we fail to lead responsibly if we
correct our inferiors hastily, unduly, or in excess,
or otherwise provoke them to wrath.
I declare that we fail to lead responsibly if we usurp
authority over those not under our legitimate charge.


Such scrupulosity would keep me from leaving the
driveway.  And all of this talk of "inferiors", did he
think himself to be in INDJA in the 19th century?

And to think, I used to feel that the Nicene Creed was
a bit too long.

Cheers!
