ten commandments

[pink]

which four could we do without, and still maintain a good ethics and morals.

 

 

[minx]

well #1 is pointless and therefore #2 is also. and #3 oops and #4 also. what day is the sabbath anyway? that is uniquely religion specific

 

the rest of them are useful

[sexual_chocolate]

it's kinda funny that the first four listed are potentially the least important, in terms of living a humanistically ethical life.

[sexual_chocolate]

but the most important in solidifying christianity's grip.

[minx]

i think we should rank them in order of importance

[pink]

the killing one should be first

how about one commandnent:

 

1) be cool

[Cremaster]

Nah, many are alive who should be dead. People just aren't that important to make a rule against killing them.

[pink]

i've never felt the need to kill anyone, have you.

[minx]

how about one commandnent:

 

1) be cool

 

 

for once i find myself agreeing with pink

[foraker]

how about one commandnent:

 

1) be cool

 

Be excellent to each other!!!

 

[tvashtarkatena]

The missing commandment:

 

Take care of the place for the next folks who come along.

[underworld]

1) be more rad than yesterday

gandalf would disagree w/ you, and he's my personal jeebus

 

"Many that live deserve death. And some that die deserve life. Can you give it to them? Then do not be too eager to deal out death in judgement. For even the very wise cannot see all ends."

[tvashtarkatena]

Don Corleone was not so circumspect: "Some men go through life begging to be killed."

[rob]

omg, we have to keep 6???

 

Fucking puritan

[archenemy]

If the ethics and the morals that you are referring to are the Christian ethics and morals, then the first commandment becomes the most important.

[marylou]

The missing commandment:

 

Take care of the place for the next folks who come along.

 

That one would never get the 2/3 majority required to make a Commandmental Amendment.

don corleone treated objects like women man!

[rob]

all dude ever wanted was his rug back

[murraysovereign]

#10 - Thou shalt not covet. WTF? I'm not allowed to want anything? Why not? As long as I don't do anything that could be construed as violating #8 "Thou shalt not steal", why shouldn't I be able to want anything I damned well feel like wanting?

 

I say we lose #1-4 and #10, and add in "Thou shalt not wreck the place". That leaves us with a nice, easy to carry six-pack of commandments, and I think it will find much greater acceptance among the general public than the current ten.

[archenemy]

I like the six pack idea!

 

But we gotta keep #1; it really is the key. Without it, there is no author of the rest of them (at least the first draft).

 

How about we dump #7 on exchange? Sex is no one elses business--just the three people involved.

[KaskadskyjKozak]

 

murray's a canadian, so that would be 2 people and a sheep.

 

[Hugh Conway]

whats sex without the coveting before hand?

[KaskadskyjKozak]

whats sex without the coveting before hand?

 

covet... then your hand?

 

poor hugh.
