The Ten Commandments (Religion)

(according to Dan)... I like this.
- "He whom you call "The Lord your God" brought you out of paradise and into slavery."
- "Thou shalt have no other gods beside your own reason, intuition, and empathy."
- "Thou shalt not swear a vain oath unless thou seeketh struggle and failure."
- "The present moment is the Sabbath; keep it holy."
- "Respect Father Sun; stay in the shade and sleep through the hot afternoon. Honor Mother Earth; return to her what you have taken. Seek the wisdom of your brothers and sisters, the plants and animals which live in balance with each other."
- "Thou shalt not murder the earth."
- "Thou shalt love and make love to whomever you wish, without the bondage of oaths."
- "Thou shalt steal from those who horde wealth and share what you steal freely, so long as thou dost not take what another loves more than thee. "
- "Thou shalt not bear false witness against thy neighbor, nor true witness against him, nor against anyone else."
- "Thou shalt not covet thy neighbor's house, because his mortgage is his enslavement, nor thy neighbor's wife, for marriage is a shackle."
