Heh, absolute commandments on whats essentially moral relativism. I don't think these commandments are much better than the original commandments. |

As per usual you have missed the point! Religions have COMMANDMENTS i.e. I am your God, you will do what I say, and worship me, or else you will be punished. No, you missed my point. Whether you call them commandments or agreed lifestyle values, they are still absolutes in nature. Which I found to be ironic given the fact that for the most part, they are propagating moral relativism. The absolute rule is that there are no absolute rules. And no, I don't like those rules. I don't think they are particularly great rules or agreed lifestyle values. A lot of them mean the same thing and some of them are incompatible with one another. |

I think those 10 items are trying to turn atheism into a religion. I think the world would be a better place with a whole lot more apathy, think of a world that didn't have people who judge every which way about meaningless nothing. That's the world I want to one day live in. Peace is a lie, there is only passion. Through passion, I gain strength. Through strength, I gain power. Through power, I gain victory. Through victory, my chains are broken. The Force shall free me. |
