If you were given the opportunity to write your own holy book what would be your ten commandments?

Question

Please refrain from answering by restating THE ten commandments or stating that those are the only ones that matter so why bother with this question. This will earn you nothing point wise from me because it is not creative. Be silly if you have to but come up with something original. Ten points to the best!

Sorry if it sounds angry but I've seen so many questions like this ruined simply because people won't just go with the question.
