1) Thou shalt strive to promote the greater good of humanity before all selfish desires. This sounds familiar. Didn't somebody already do this? God, who set the example?
2) Thou shalt be curious, for asking questions is the only way to find answers. This requires being open to all possible answers, does it not? At least, for the questions that have not been 100% satisfied.
3) Harm to your fellow human is harm to humanity. Therefore, thou shalt not kill, rape, rob, or otherwise victimize anyone. Yep
4) Thou shall treat all humans as equals, regardless of race, gender, age, creed, identity, orientation, physical ability, or status.Unless inconvenient or they just are annoying. Then treat them like shit. Annoying people are sub-human and should be reminded of it
5) Thou shalt use reason as your guide. Science, knowledge, observation, and rational analysis are the best ways to determine any course of action.Reason as your guide, as in: it is reasonable that I be a dick head to you because I am in a bad mood. That's what being human is all about.
6) Thou shalt not force your beliefs onto others, nor insist that yours be the only and correct way to live happily.Unless we make commandments about it. Or laws so that we can safely participate in a diverse community
7) If thou dost govern, thou shalt govern with reason, not with superstition. Religion should have no place in any government which represents all people and beliefs. Reason again: What is the reasonable thing to do to those who just will not fall in line? Or to do with your enemy? What is the scientific process for those decisions?
8) Thou shalt act for the betterment of your fellow humans, and be, whenever possible, altruistic in your deeds.Whenever possible? All you humanists think you are so righteous, neener, neener, but I don't see you selling your computer and giving the money to charity, blah, blah, blah.
9) Thou shalt be good to the Earth and its bounties, for without it, humankind is lost.Yeah, I been lost on the Earth before.
10) Thou shalt impart thy knowledge and wisdom gained in your lifetime to the next generation, so that with each passing century, humanity will grow wiser and more humane.Oh, wanting to live on even after death . . . Definitely! But where does that urge come from? Heaven only knows.
