Better than YHVH!

I call your attention to the blog, "Questioning God," where blogger Will Friday has posted his new list of 10 Commandments that put ol' Jehovah in the shade! Too lazy to follow the link?  Here's Will's list for the betterment of the world. (Beats hell out of "thou shalt not covet thy neighbor's ass"—I mean, have you seen my neighbor? Yeesh!)

  1. Thou shalt treat other people with fairness and kindness as you would like them to treat you.
  2. Thou shalt not abuse any person physically, sexually, psychologically, economically, emotionally or any other way regardless of their age, sex, color, nationality or creed.
  3. Thou shalt never consider another person to be your property nor force or coerce them to serve you.
  4. Thou shalt not kill any person unless you must to defend yourself or other people from grievous harm.
  5. Thou shalt be truthful in dealing with other people unless the truth serves no purpose but to harm.
  6. Thou shalt not cheat, exploit, extort or impose your will upon other people.
  7. Thou shalt not steal the property of another person unless you must to survive and taking it will not endanger the owner. Try asking first.
  8. Thou shalt not harm another person unless you must to defend yourself or other people from harm.
  9. Thou shalt endeavor to contribute your talents and energies to the betterment of the entire community of humans.
  10. Thou shalt endeavor to provide at least the necessities of life to those people who are unable to fend for themselves.
Poetry. Pure poetry.
