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.

Thou shalt not complain of thy neighbor whilst leaving the identity of thy neighbor ambiguous.

Thou Shalt Not Tolerate Prejudice ( "Satan", oft translated by scholars as "Accuser", which is how everyone can know that it means prejudice: prejudice's WHOLE action is accusing! ) instead of considered-reason.

Thou Shalt Not Tolerate Ideology-Addiction, but will displace it with considered-reason, breaking it from authority.

Thou Shalt Not Forget Silliness, who is the proper antidote to self-importance.

Thou Shalt Not Ever Mistake Propaganda for Journalism, nor tolerate propaganda's establishment.

Thou Shalt Not Tolerate Lobbying/Bribery or any other corruption of governing.

  1. Thou really believed me, idiot? Do whatever the fuck you want. I don't care

The ones that make the most sense to me as stuff Moses might say.

  1. Thou shalt trust honest people, for why would one be honest if nothing comes from it

  2. Thou shalt not assume things, to assume is often more destructive than lying

  3. Thou shalt not cheat in games and anything with a justified set list of rules

  4. Thou shalt not intentionally cause mental illness, for it is equal to murder

  5. Thou shalt not gatekeep or deny another person's rightful union

Wow, those really sound like they could have been from the Bible (also bonuses point to you for coming up with a serious suggestion). Here, you win the Nobel prize in Prophetry*! Your basically the new Moses, and we shall follow you!

Nobel medal


/s (it's sarcasm but keep the Nobel prize, you deserve it (*v*)/ []-[]Β¬ )

* Prophetry is supposed to mean "being a prophet" but I just made that word up

Thou shall chill out and just hang out

Do as I say, not as I do.

If more people acknowledged the massive hypocrisy of the christian bible, the world might have been a better place.

That's literally the sixth commandment.

[–] Thisfox@sopuli.xyz 3 points 1 year ago

No one seems to be paying much attention to it.

[–] anonymouse@lemmings.world 2 points 1 year ago

The commandment so nice he wrote it twice.

[–] Hjalamanger@feddit.nu 1 points 1 year ago

Well some (most?) people don't pay a lot of attention to it so it deserves to be said again

[–] captainlezbian@lemmy.world 2 points 1 year ago

If you don’t want a bad bitch don’t get one

"sorry it was a joke"

Thou shalt not delude thyself.
