The world's oldest religions, are organized around teachings on how to treat others, how to live a moral life.
What is the equivalent of the 10 commandments in Scientology?
You should know since you have formed the judgement that there is no difference between mainstream religion and Scientology,,,so I am curious. A response would be appreciated.

I think the main purpose of any religion, including Scientology, is to answer the age-old questions: who are we, where do we come from, where will we go. Scientology does that very well actually(ummmm), and if you look at it objectively, it is, at the very least, much more original than the same (crock-of-shit) heaven-hell story line. As I've said before, Scientology
is a cult. It's secretive, and so it's teachings aren't fully known. Interviews with it's followers do show that Scientology does provide moral guidance as well. You asked what the equivalent of the ten commandments in Scientology is? well that would be their "code of Honor". They also have shit like Auditors code and other stuff, which I can post later if you'd like.
The basic object that we disagree on is the definition of a "cult". I understand
your modern "secret society" definition. In actuality it's defined like this:
a system of religious veneration and devotion directed toward a particular figure or object.
If you go by that definition, then it is hard not to see any religion as such.

Answer me this, if you were born in Afghanistan to muslim parents, would you still be a Christian? Most likely, no.
So the mere fact of where you were born could be the difference in whether you go to heaven or hell?
Also, that "loving" "caring" god seems to be a real jolly old chap if he's throwing people (
he made) into hell!
"I actually resent the fact that I'm gonna get judged someday … It's like dude, you made me, so this is your f***-up. Alright? So let's not try to turn this around on me … you give me freedom of choice, you make whores, you have me suck at math and you don't think this thing is gonna go off the rails? Like, you set me up to fail, and now you got the balls to question your own work?" (Bill Burr)

Once again, you display your knack for aggrandizing your own irrelevant self. No one is applauding your post but you, as usual. The only thing you're beating here is your dick. You would be the very last person
anyone should go to looking for "logic"

L.Ron Hubbard took the idea of science and turned it into a religion on a bet. Why science? At the turn of the last century (circa 1900) everything started revolving around science and the scientific method. Hubbard took this which he knew was a winner. No one wants to argue against "science" (see global warming). So the idea is to make something into science that is not. Add some self fulfilling interests (what little kid didn't like to think that maybe he was more than everyone else around him by birth), a few "wise" words and you have a religion. Like Kwanzaa, Scientology was created to snare suckers. HELLO SUCKER!
From wikipedia
It is widely believed that the creation of Scientology was the result of a bar bet between L. Ron Hubbard and Robert A. Heinlein. The story says L. Ron Hubbard dared that he could create a religion all by himself. According to Scientology critic Lindsay[4] this is "definitely not true", no such bet was ever made, it would have been "uncharacteristic of Heinlein" to make such a bet, and "there's no supporting evidence". However, several of Heinlein's autobiographical pieces, as well as biographical pieces written by his wife, claim repeatedly that the bet did indeed occur. Heinlein's novel Stranger in a Strange Land is sometimes claimed to be his attempt at winning the bet.
Here is something for others to chew on; newspaper publishers are usually rich, CNN's Ted Turner is rich....so why do people think that Murdock being rich is a legitimate attack on the people (yes, you're attacking his people, not him) who work for him. Sheer stupidity.

And, also as per usual, you post a completely irrelevant, ignorant mixture of shit and vomit. You're like a dog distracted by a firecracker. Just because Scientology has the word "scien" in it
DOES NOT mean it has anything to do with actual science. The fact that you equate a piece of Alien horseshit FICTION to one of the most hotly debated scientific issues of the 21st century, shows us exactly how qualified you are to be talking about this issue. Quick question, do you think Scientology is the religion of choice for scientists??
Love or hate JD (it''s mostly hate), you can't deny the fact that his countless lunatic posts provide hours of quality entertainment. Speaking of (lunacy), shouldn't you be out looking for your missing plane? Last I heard you had covered 99% of terrain sheltered by "wilted shrubbery". Only a little more to go!
