Commandment 1:
Don't be an ass. Commandments 2-10: Check Commandment 1. 
If I had to write down a set of commandments that attempted to encapsulate morality:
1. Act with integrity 2. Respect the rights of others 3. Take responsibility for your actions 4. Leave the world better off than when you found it I think that covers all the bases. And it uses positive language rather than negative language.
Atheist Forums Hall of Shame:
"The trinity can be equated to having your cake and eating it too." ... -Lucent, trying to defend the Trinity concept "(Yahweh's) actions are good because (Yahweh) is the ultimate standard of goodness. That’s not begging the question" ... -Statler Waldorf, Christian apologist 
I'm partial to this set:
1) Harm no one who does not wish to be harmed. 2) Aspire to the truth in all things. 3) Take responsibility for your actions. The rest is commentary; go and study it, to quote Rabbi Hillel.

If I could really make ten rules upon how to govern yourself, they'd be similar to this: 1 - Don't kill. 2 - Don't steal. 3 - Don't rape. 4 - Give away unused money to help aid those whom aren't able to care for themselves. 5 - Don't be a dick. 6 - Don't fuck someone else's wife. 7 - Do not find laughter within the weakness of another. 8 - Value Education 9 - Stay on a positive mood. 10 - Transfer all of your money to my bank account so I can give it to God. (just kidding) (The Real) 10 - Remember the other nine!

Both George Carlin and The Hitch have thoroughly dissected these things, at least the better known ones that people automatically think of as the Ten Commandments. I don't really think that people need to be programmed with a list of things that either they don't do anyway or are so irrelevant and outdated that they probably wouldn't think of doing them, or even if they did it would make no difference. So, rather in the spirit of Ronnie Barker's Slade Prison rules (1: Do not write on the walls. 2: Obey all the rules.), I would suggest something like this:
At the age of five, Skagra decided emphatically that God did not exist. This revelation tends to make most people in the universe who have it react in one of two ways - with relief or with despair. Only Skagra responded to it by thinking, 'Wait a second. That means there's a situation vacant.'
1. Have a sense of humor
2. Don't whine all day long about stupid shit 3. Give blowjobs or eat pussy 4. Dress in costumes from time to time 5. Stop wasting your time playing boring sports 6. Stop wasting your time watching boring sports 7. Thou shalt not be offended so easily 8. Stop having so many fucking kids 9. If your hair goes grey, don't dye it some ridiculous color. 10. Be nice ![[Image: dcep7c.jpg]](https://images.weserv.nl/?url=i46.tinypic.com%2Fdcep7c.jpg)

The easiest way to gain something is often to simply borrow it from someone. Asking them just makes the process take longer. Quote:3 - Don't rape. Well, I'd never... but why should someone else not? Does their pain really matter? If you find it fun: well... it's fun  Quote:4 - Give away unused money to help aid those whom aren't able to care for themselves. I did that a great deal. Now I am poor... was it really such a good idea? Quote:5 - Don't be a dick. I'd rather you be a dick than a pussy. I can't work with precious little flowers. Quote:6 - Don't fuck someone else's wife. HOLD NOW! Why the fuck should I not fuck a beautiful thing if she wants it as much as I do? Treat her better, and maybe she wouldn't be off with me. Either that, or realize she's a lesbian and just let her go already  Quote:7 - Do not find laughter within the weakness of another. You kidding? That's some of the funniest shit that is. Quote:8 - Value Education How much? A lot? A little? Negatively...? Quote:9 - Stay on a positive mood. I'll remember that next time I'm raped, robbed, or otherwise harmed. Shall I just forget about it in the meantime? Quote:(The Real) 10 - Remember the other nine! I've already forgotten them... do I get a benefit in some way if I remember them?

Meh. The very word commandment irks the shit out of me. Do what you want. If you're a dick, other people will take note and handle it.
