A new set of commandments...
November 19, 2014 at 4:30 pm
I want to compile a new set of commandments, or rules for all to live by, suitable for the world as it is today. Any thoughts? I don't need to stop at 10 if they're valid..
so some ideas...
- look at and respect others as you would have them see you
- the right to criticise ideas not people
- love your god, but accept others may not
- bring children into this world, not into your faith. They may join your faith when they're old enough to choose.
- a multifaith world needs a secular arbiter
- violence is the LAST resort.
- your neighbour doesn't need to be your friend, but more importantly doesn't need to be put in the handcuffs of your beliefs !

Treat others as you'd wish to be treated.
Don't be a douche.

I don't really get along with "commandments" very well.
Advice is appreciated. Orders aren't.

commandments do not work in any sense theists break those regularly especially those who are in jail now or about to go to jail.

I live my life according to a modified version of the Wil Wheaton code: try not to be a dick.
It's served me well so far.

And why should I obey any of the commandments you propose?
