The Thirteen Commandments

Call me a blasphemer, a heretic, or simply the tool of Satan. I do not care. I live my life by a very simple code, with no books and no priests to tell me if I'm right or wrong. Ever since I realized that I was capable of free-thinking, I have rejected all forms of organized religion, instead embracing the creator as one without limits or boundaries, one with only mercy and love for his children, one who guides us through this life without the constant threat of hell, fire or brimstone to punish us, one who is to us what a pet is to it's master. We take care of our cats/dogs/parrots/whatever it is you take care of, but do you expect it to prostrate before you and pray to you every day. No we love it as if we would love ourselves, and we do not expect anything from them. Similarly God loves us, but he doesn't expect us to worship him with the "threat" of hell to keep us in line. Call God by whatever name you want, he loves us as a parent loves a child, but that doesn't mean he's going to help you through whatever misfortune that happens to be dominating your life at this point, he expects you to get up from your knees, hold your head high and learn from it.

I find the concept of the 10 commandments interesting, but what I have compiled here are 13(no I am not superstitious) commandments that define the code by which I live my life. No one has the right to tell me that I'm going to hell for what I believe in, and neither will I judge anyone for what they believe in.


1) Thou shalt not harm thy fellow man(or woman for that matter)
2) Thou shalt not deny the body what it desires
3) Thou shalt not harm thyself
4) Thou shalt not envy thy neighbor or lust after what thy cant get
5) Thou shalt not cause discord and dissension among thy fellow men(or women) irrespective of who they are, where they're from, or what faith they follow.
6) Thou shalt not strike back at those who insult thou, unless struck upon thyself
7) Thou shalt not be afraid of questioning whatever thou feel needs to be questioned
8) Thou shalt acknowledge the existence of our creator if thou wishes, but thou shalt not be forced to worship him.
9) Thou shalt not have questionable feelings for children under the age of 18, that is just wrong
10) Thou shalt speak the truth as thou wishes, but not at the cost of thy fellowman's(or women's) life
11) Thou shalt not ridicule fellow men(or women) of other faiths, for they are still your brothers and sisters
12) Thou shalt not forget to love and respect the providers, for they love you like the creator loves you
13) Thou are free to indulge in the pleasures of the material world, but thou shalt remember that heaven awaits thee if thou lives a good life


I'm just saying......
