I wish chivarly still existed in some way....

To obey those placed in authority
I can't always respect this one. I guess considering the code and the times it was perfect. No mutiny, falling in line... etc. But these days, some of those placed in authority are idiots.

Never to refuse a challenge from an equal
I like how it says "equal." In other words: Don't fuck with someone weaker than you...

Never to turn the back upon a foe
Physically a good idea, but at the same time, needless fighting is sometimes needless.

I'm not spiritual enough for Christianity or most other religions, I think they are interesting and have studied many of them, I try to live by a modernized version of this that's a bit more open to bending and can be changed a bit to fit the times. At least for me chivalry is still alive. I'm all about the open door, pull out chair and the more intense parts of chivalry.
