Which of these 10 Commandments is better?

[JohnGalt2341]

Here's an abbreviated version of the original 10 Commandments:
1. I am the Lord your God. You shall have no other gods before me.
2. You shall not make for yourself an idol.
3. Do not take the name of the Lord in vain.
4. Remember the Sabbath and keep it holy.
5. Honor your father and mother.
6. You shall not kill/murder.
7. You shall not commit adultery.
8. You shall not steal.
9. You shall not bear false witness against your neighbor.
10. You shall not covet your neighbor's wife. You shall not covet anything that belongs to your neighbor.

Here's Christopher Hitchens NEW 10 Commandments:

1. Do not condemn people on the basis of their ethnicity or their color.
2. Do not ever even think of using people as private property, or as owned, or as slaves.
3. Despise those who use violence or the threat of it in sexual relations.
4. Hide your face and weep if you dare to harm a child.
5. Do not condemn people for their inborn nature.
6. Be aware that you too are an animal and dependent on the web of nature. Try to think and act accordingly.
7. Don't imagine that you can escape judgment if you rob people with a false prospectus, rather than with a knife.
8. Turn off that fukking cell phone. You can have no idea how unimportant your call is to us.
9. Denounce all Jihadists and crusaders for what they are... psychopathic criminals with ugly delusions and terrible sexual repressions.
10. Be willing to renounce any God, or any faith, if any holy Commandments should contradict any of the above.

In short, don't swallow your moral code in tablet form.

4. Remember the Sabbath and keep it holy.

The real true sabbath is on saturday, not sunday and human man cant change it to anyday they want

[Dr.Gonzo]

Here's Richard Dawkins 10 Commandments. These are pretty good as well. #10 is my favorite.

1. Do not do to others what you would not want them to do to you
2. In all things, strive to cause no harm
3. Treat your fellow human beings, your fellow living things, and the world in general with love, honesty, faithfulness and respect.
4. Do not overlook evil or shrink from administering justice, but always be ready to forgive wrongdoing freely admitted and honestly regretted.
5. Live life with a sense of joy and wonder
6. Always seek to be learning something new
7. Test all things; always check your ideas against the facts, and be ready to discard even a cherished belief if it does not conform to them.
8. Never seek to censor or cut yourself off from dissent; always respect the right of others to disagree with you.
9. Form independent opinions on the basis of your own reason and experience; do not allow yourself to be led blindly by others.
10. Question everything

I hold the opinions that doing something that harms a few people at the benefit of many is something that should be used more often, and the degree one's forgiven for a bad act in exchange for admittance or showing remorse should depend on severity of the crime and how likely they would've been caught. Otherwise, I like that list, most of all #5. I wouldn't have pegged him as someone seeking cheer, though I don't know much about him.

Hopefully you are not one of the few being harmed

[poochiecollins]

Hopefully you are not one of the few being harmed

Sometimes I might, most of the time I'll be better off.
