The Ten Commandments (revised)

i. Thou shall not kill.

ii. Thou shall not rape.

iii. Thou shall not steal.

(We could leave it at that, but just in case)

iv. Thou shall not hold a belief above the life of a human being.

v. Thou shan’t spew hate through fridge magnets, billboards,

or bumper stickers but if thou do thusly,

expect bird shit.

vi. Adultery sucks, try talking first.

vii. Thou shall agree that ye know not what the fuck happens after death.

viii. Thou shall return to the garden,

not as babes unto their mother’s bed,

but as man unto machine.

ix. Thou shall gorge on the fruit of knowledge

x. and ne’er be sorry.
