Why do people assume that these are things I have made up?
Did I not ask a Question and post a link for you to read properly about the subject?
Some people need a SOH some days!

I am a Christian myself and got a good kick out of reading these. Classic Australian humour really... so I guess you all don't get it and will need to read the full article to understand it better.
Article is from an Atheist site though

That's brilliant. I guess you have to be an Australian to appreciate it hey. I'm an Auzzie, by the way. I'll be sending that onto to some friends. Good one!

Jesus grew to become into the messenger of Gods observe to the individuals. it somewhat is why he grew to become into prevalent with the aid of fact the Christ, The King. His given commandments are sound and sensible and a mirrored image of the style is which he lived his life. it somewhat is tragic the fashionable-day populations are greater probably to belive media claptrap than the sacred scriptures. somewhat tragic.

Shouldn't it be obvious that there cannot be atheist commandments? As an atheist, I am subject to no higher power, so where should "commandments" come from? I have to use my own common sense to set the standards of my own life.

Slight contradiction there, sweetie. Having commandments would imply we follow preordained rules.
I love rule number 7. You're right about that. If fashionable means looking like a 300lb Southern Baptist, wobbling to church in their elasticated Walmart jeans, I'll stick with my skinny jeans and blonde highlights, thank you very much.

Sounds valid to me. Of course the thumpers are going to be all over this like a cheap suit. Stay tuned.

Even though I'm not an atheist (And NOT a bible-thumper either!), all of those sounds about right on the nose.

I cant see why an atheist would want any form of religeous title or structure. it kinda contradicts them? Why not call them Life Rules or something... then again those who copy are those that cant be #1

They're cute. But you forgot #13: Don't believe in commandments. :-)
