The Seventeen Commandments
Edited on Mon May-31-10 05:46 PM by Taverner
So mote it be...

Californianism
o Do not kill the person next to you
o This can be expounded upon
o Using marijuana, weddings and interventions are holy sacraments. To go to one is to attend a holy event – and they form a trifecta of life decisions
o There is no afterlife – live this life as if it were the only one (because it is)
o There is no heaven or hell
o There is no creator, except the laws of the universe – known as Physics, Chemistry and Science – and it should be a self-regulating entity in the pursuit of these
o Knowledge is the greatest pursuit
o Sex is fun, but not always necessary
o Biological functions are fun, but not always necessary
o Love is a good thing: but remember, it is nothing more than a cocktail of brain chemicals. It can be used for your benefit, or for your detriment
o Same thing applies to all brain chemical cocktails
o Guns may be needed, but killing rarely is
o You cannot eat hot dogs with mustard (Just kidding! Shout out to “Kiss Hank’s Ass”)
o Above all, do not hurt, kill or otherwise create or continue suffering in another individual or creature. Look at it from their point of view.
o But if it prevents more suffering – then you might be in the right. But think about it – and look at other sources of ethical thinking. Not just this stupid list.)

2. The Two Commandments
George Carlin's Revised List of the Two Commandments:

1. Thou shalt always be honest and faithful to the provider of thy nookie.

2. Thou shalt try real hard not to kill anyone... unless they pray to a different invisible man than the one you pray to.
