The Ten Commandments or The Eight I'd Really Rather You Didnt's?

Which would you rather follow?





For refrence, here are the I'd Really Rather You Didnt's:





1. I'd Really Rather You Didn't Act Like a Sanctimonious Holier-Than-Thou *** When Describing My Noodly Goodness. If Some People Don't Believe In Me, That's Okay. Really, I'm Not That Vain. Besides, This Isn't About Them So Don't Change The Subject.





2. I'd Really Rather You Didn't Use My Existence As A Means To Oppress, Subjugate, Punish, Eviscerate, And/Or, You Know, Be Mean To Others. I Don't Require Sacrifices And Purity Is For Drinking Water, Not People.





3. I'd Really Rather You Didn't Judge People For The Way They Look, Or How They Dress, Or The Way They Talk, Or, Well, Just Play Nice, Okay? Oh, And Get This In Your Thick Heads: Woman = Person. Man = Person. Samey - Samey. One Is Not Better Than The Other, Unless We're Talking About Fashion And I'm Sorry, But I Gave That To Women And Some Guys Who Know The Difference Between Teal and Fuchsia.

The Ten Commandments or The Eight I'd Really Rather You Didnt's?
Wow, that sounds remarkably like common sense to me! Too bad religion and common sense simply do not co-exist.





Long Live the FSM!!!!!

Reply:Here's the thing, though. Christians, Jews, etc. are supposed to have BRAINS and not seek out loopholes to all God's commandments.





Well, that's one thing, at least.





Edit: Other than that, I kinda like them.
Reply:Those are funny and practical.


Unfortunately, they're still presented as "really rather you didn'ts" from a mythical, non-existent "creator."


Things will only get better among humans when we can stop arguing over whose god gave the best commandments, what god meant when he said so and so, or what god "really wants."


Be responsible for your own behavior and actions, live a good life because it's the best way to live on earth among billions of other humans, treat everyone with respect 'cause we're all in this together.


And stop pretending there's a magical sky fairy who conjured us up out of his imagination, and promises a magical eternal heaven after you die if you do "what he wants." There is no "what he wants," 'cause there is no "he."





Peace.

PS - The Ten Commandments suck [another word for a person's behind]. All kidding aside, look for Solon's ten commandments (from ancient greece)... read those to see what some halfway decent 'commandments' are like.
