The real 10 Commandments.

[Gawdzilla Sama]

Thought I'd put this up.

THE TEN COMMANDMENTS (OF THE ETHICAL ATHEIST)

[devogue]

Magnificent. I was especially touched by this one:

7. Thou SHALT live this one life thou hast to its fullest.
We do not believe in an afterlife nor that we will be reincarnated to live again in another form. It is, therefore, imperative that we live this one life we have to its fullest. We should not live in a puritanical way, starving ourselves of pleasures, in hopes that it somehow makes us better or that we will be judged more favorably in our "next life". However, in living our lives to the fullest, we must always be conscious of our actions to ensure that they do not have adverse effects on our fellow man.

[Gawdzilla Sama]

I first saw that link at ATS. Some people were saying that the word "commandment" shouldn't be used as it gets into religious territory. My response:

The fact that the Hebrews codified already existing rules of societal behavior and used "God" to enforce them was simply a hijack of the mores already existing in their society. So religion is a hanger-on in this case, not a prime mover.

Shut it. Just. Because.

[Trolldor]

Thou shalt not be an atheist, make a list of ten commandments and then parade them around.
You just look like a cock rag.

Fix'd again

If we are having a grammar-nazi party I may as well pop in a for a quick chat and a snack before making an awkward excuse and hurrying away.


I found the commandments worth thinking about, and they reminded me of another set I have seen--let me see if I remember where they are or if I can even find them... nope, apparently not today. They were different than the ones above in several ways but along similar lines.
