The Bible doesn't have a Golden rule
Did you skip sunday school?
Leviticus 19:18, Leviticus 19:34
Matthew 7:12
it is also the theme of the OT
For jews who study the talmud, Talmud; Shabbat 31a
Every monotheist or anyone that has read the bible should know that.
The rule in some form has be taught around the world in most major cultures or philosophies
Wrong use of the word "philosophy". Philosophy comes from the ancient greek culture and is the mother of all modern science. And "sunday school" sounds in the ears of the most Christians of the world strange. We learn normally our religion in completly normal schools. And what someone has to know or not, who believes in god, is nothing what members of foreign religions - like atheists for example - have to decide. And in Leviticus 19:18 is nothing written about the golden rule but written not to become angry against the own people but to love the own people. So you should love US-Americans for example and you should not be angry if they believe in god only because you don't believe in god. Same with Leviticus 19:[33-]34 - nothing written about the golden rule but about strangers, who live in your country. When the Reds came from India to the USA in the 18-19th century and became Red Indians there "you" (=the USA) was not very nice to them for example. Thanks god you gave them now the allowness to be native Americans. But finally be happy: In Matthew 7:12[,13-14] is written the golden rule:
-----
So whatever you wish that others would do to you, do also to them, for this is the Law and the Prophet.
Enter by the narrow gate. For the gate is wide and the way is easy that leads to destruction, and those who enter by it are many. For the gate is narrow and the way is hard that leads to life, and those who find it are few.
