The Five (for now) Commandments
Since I do not believe in a God that frowns upon me when I do certain bad things, I have to come up with my own moral code. Certain rules that I must follow lest my life spiral into destruction.
I have come up with the following commandments:
- You shall not break your word.
- You shall only take drugs on Saturday.
- Just do it.
- Keep doing it.
- Your body's needs are primary.
Since it's inception last week, I've so far broken all five rules. I'd better start taking them seriously if I'm going to work for a corporation.
I'll add more as I think them up. Convenient, huh?
That's the problem with the Ten Commandments: inflexibility. They're pretty much set in stone. The Catholics are having trouble now because they can't add more, like, "Thou shalt not grow life-saving organs out of stem cells." or "Thou shalt not sodomize thine fellow man."
The laws of God may be immutable but the lives of men are forever in flux. Still, I think I need to drop anchor for awhile.
