The Ten Commandments | Ten Suggestions for a More Guilt-Free Life |
1. You shall have no other gods before me. | 1. You should feel comfortable in believing in whatever feels good to you. |
2. You shall not make for yourself an idol in the form of anything in heaven above or on the earth beneath or in the waters below. You shall not bow down to them or worship them. | 2. You really should not be bothered with Things. |
3. You shall not misuse the name of the Lord your God. | 3. You should not swear unless you really have a bad feeling about something and swearing helps you get in touch with it. |
4. Remember the Sabbath day by keeping it holy. | 4. Sunday is a good day to sort out how you really think about stuff. |
5. Honor your father and your mother | 5. Never forget to send HallmarkÔ Mother's Day or Father's Day cards. |
6. You shall not murder. | 6. You should not kill anybody, but if they really oppress you or have possessions that you need and you feel they really deserve it and you do not know what you are doing (and can swear to it) then, maybe OK. |
7. You shall not commit adultery. | 7. What's "adultery"? If you have a good feeling about someone and they have a good feeling about you and it is really beautiful, that must be OK. |
8. You shall not steal. | 8. It is illegal to steal but if you or your cultural affinity group were oppressed or put down by somebody else or by another member of their cultural affinity group, taking what might rightfully have been yours is not really stealing anyway. |
9. You shall not give false testimony against your neighbor. | 9. It is against the law to lie in court but you can tell the media anything (if they pay). |
10. You shall not covet your neighbor's house, or his wife, or his possessions. | 10. If you want your neighbor’s house or his possessions, marry his wife after she gets them in the divorce. |
