The Golden Rule, or the principle of treating others as you wish to be treated, is not unique to any single religion, but is a core ethical principle found in many different religious and philosophical traditions.

Ancient Greece​

The Golden Rule in its prohibitive (negative) form was a common principle in ancient Greek philosophy. Examples of the general concept include:

  • "Avoid doing what you would blame others for doing." – Thales (c. 624 – c. 546 BCE)
  • "What you do not want to happen to you, do not do it yourself either." – Sextus the Pythagorean. The oldest extant reference to Sextus is by Origen in the third century of the common era.
  • "Ideally, no one should touch my property or tamper with it, unless I have given him some sort of permission, and, if I am sensible I shall treat the property of others with the same respect." – Plato(c. 420 – c. 347 BCE)
  • "Do not do to others that which angers you when they do it to you." – Isocrates(436–338 BCE)
  • "It is impossible to live a pleasant life without living wisely and well and justly, and it is impossible to live wisely and well and justly without living pleasantly." – Epicurus (341–270 BC) where "justly" refers to "an agreement made in reciprocal association ... against the infliction or suffering of harm.

Ancient Persia​

The Pahlavi Texts of Zoroastrianism (c. 300 BCE – 1000 CE) were an early source for the Golden Rule: "That nature alone is good which refrains from doing to another whatsoever is not good for itself." Dadisten-I-dinik, 94,5, and "Whatever is disagreeable to yourself do not do unto others."

Ancient Rome​

Seneca the Younger (c. 4 BCE – 65 CE), a practitioner of Stoicism (c. 300 BCE – 200 CE), expressed a hierarchical variation of the Golden Rule in his Letter 47, an essay regarding the treatment of slaves: "Treat your inferior as you would wish your superior to treat you."

  • Buddhism:
    "Whatever is disagreeable to yourself, do not do unto others," (The Buddha, Udana-Varga 5.18).

  • Confucianism:
    "Do not do to others what you do not want them to do to you" (Confucius, Analects 15.23).

  • Christianity:
    "You shall love your neighbor as yourself" (Matthew 7:12, Matthew 22:39).

  • Islam:
    While not explicitly stated in the same way, the principle is reflected in Islamic teachings about treating others with kindness, compassion, and justice.

  • Hinduism:
    "One should not direct towards someone else what is unpleasant to oneself," (Mahabharata Udyoga Parvan 39.57).

  • Judaism:
    "Love your neighbor as yourself," (Leviticus 19:18).

  • Sikhism:
    "Compassion-mercy and religion are the support of the entire world," (Sikh Scripture).

  • Zoroastrianism:
    "That nature alone is good which refrains from doing to another whatsoever is not good for itself," (Zoroastrian scripture).

  • Jainism:
    While not directly stated, Jainism emphasizes ahimsa (non-violence) and compassion towards all living beings, which aligns with the Golden Rule.


  • Taoism:
    "Regard your neighbour's gain as your gain, and your neighbour's loss as your loss," (Taoist scripture).

Islam treats fellow muslims with kindness or compassion. Jews and Infidels can revert or be beheaded.
 
True, and also the Good Samaritan is found in more than one religion, and he was not a believer of any of them.
 
the rule alone suffices as a religion with non other necessary - just try not mention to the desert dwellers their 10,000 page bibles are in themselves the source of evil as their historic legacies prove, the golden rule not withstanding.

to be truthful - kept the rule and burn the bibles is what the rule is actually saying.
 
True, and also the Good Samaritan is found in more than one religion, and he was not a believer of any of them.
No, the Good Samaritan is not just about loving your neighbor, rather, it is about loving those who hate you.

This is different from what other religions teach, at least, according to Christ

Matthew 5:43 “You have heard that it has been said, ‘You must love your neighbor and hate those who hate you.’ 44 But I tell you, love those who hate you.

The Jew who saved the Samaritan were natural enemies.

The one thing you fail to note is the reason for the commonality. Religion is like a tree, each today largely an outgrowth like branches from a common trunk, that common trunk as far as the historical record can show, goes back at least 5000 years ago to the one common original religion from which most others grew out of, Vedic Science,

And in moving into the Kali Yuga , that is what we are moving toward right now .
An Era of great success and enlightenment .Akin to a Golden Age .

Unfortunately we first have a few years of terrible Chaos and Loss to move through .

And that is exactly how it is shaping up to be .

The Good News is that the life expectancy for Lefty Mutants and Troll Bots is not great .
We cleanse ourselves and real people emerge .

Psst . No more Cult Religions

How exciting. One source equals One God. Thank you, Vedic Science.

Interesting. Roman Catholicism should surely survive - it is the antithesis of what could be considered a cult. The members of the Roman Catholic Church are as diverse as the world itself for it reaches the entire world.

that would be the concurrence that occurred for the beginning of life and its evolution since that time.
