And I know we’re mostly atheists here, but please keep the theological discussion to a minimum and appreciate the lighthearted hypothetical scenario for what it is.
I might as well go first:
Though shalt seed what you download (You’ll understand in a few thousand years)
Thou shalt not fuck kids. They definitely meant for that to be in there, right? Guys…?
The five missing ones are:
- Acknowledge the central point.
- Thou shalt not soapbox.
- Thou shalt not decontextualise what others say.
- Thou shalt not claim intentions to defend thine or someone else’s actions.
- Thou shalt not convey “I disagree” through feigned lack of understanding.
Bonus: the original version of the 8th was
- Thou shalt not claim with certainty things that you do not know for certain.
The current 8th (Thou shalt not bear false witness against thy neighbour) is a forgery. Some assumer got called out over and over because of the older 8th, since he really liked to make shit up, so he restricted it into near uselessness. Source: I’m Lucifer, I know it. :^)
Your version of the 8th would literally undo all religion (and a bit of science).
Your version of the 8th would literally undo all religion
It would undo the myths, I think. Morality and religious practices might survive depending on how much they rely on said myths.
and a bit of science
It would perhaps demote a lot of theories back to hypotheses, but that’s actually good IMO. A good scientist should embrace the doubt and treat it as a respectable enemy, not hide from it like a catfish in the mud.
Thou shall not leave the toilet lid open after used.
- [my actual name here] is your lord, savior, and 4th form of god, and shall be treated as such.
- Sinning is the 12th form of liberalism
- Join an org (mine, preferrably)
- There can be no peace so long as hunger and want are found among millions of the working people and the few, who make up the employing class, have all the good things of life.
- Thou shalt seed more than thou downloads, unless thou ist [my actual name here].
