Four new commandments needed, Ideas please?

Question

I’ve decided to start a new religion. Following on with the tried and tested method of borrowing from other older, more established faiths, I’m stealing the Ten Commandments. Problem is, while 5 through to 10 are okay, numbers 1 to 4 are a bit iffy. Any suggestions for 4 new ones.
"The Six Commandments" just doesn't have the right ring to it!

Answer 1

Thou shall not threaten people with hell.
Thou shall not point at others and say "you are wrong".
Thou shall spend less time on Yahoo Answers.
Thou shall respect the atheist.

Answer 2

Thou shalt promote other faiths as thou promotest thine own.
Thou shalt fill the Earth with living things.
Thou shalt not use mathematics.
Thou shalt not profit whilest thy brother languishes in poverty.

1) This commandment will stop all religious strife and force people to study and encourage others in whatever faith they choose, even as they encourage one another in their own faiths.
2) This one should help to reverse all the pollution and devestation we've visited on the Earth by forcing people to replenish the trees and wildlife.
3) This one is controversial but, nearly everything bad that has been invented has used higher order mathematics. Math is the language of Creation and, using math, we have created some truly terrible things. Math is what allows us to create so, without math, we would stop making new, worthless crap.
4) This basically says that all wealth must be spread evenly thoughout a society above the basic necesity for life. This would eliminate poverty, increase the worker base (people with homes tend to work harder than homeless people) and stop companies like Exxon from making hundreds of millions of dollars A DAY and keeping it all to themselves, greedy s.o.b's.

Answer 3

Well. I think you should go for 5 more commandments. That way you have 1 more than that "other" religion. Your propaganda can read: "Why have only 10 commandments when you can have 11?"


Though shalt observe national talk like a pirate day with enthusiasm.

Though shalt read instead of watching TV.

Though shalt think for yourself and not do what others think you should do based on their own perverted versions of reality.

Though shalt eat chocolate.

Answer 4

Thou Shalt Not Get Caught.

Thou Shalt Not Practice Christianity in England In Case It Offends Other Religions.

Thou Shalt Not Leer at Kylie Minogue's Bottom (although that one is probably covered in the one about coveting the Neighbours A ss!)

Answer 5

Something like Thou Shalt Not Hate Others Because They Are Different would be nice.

Answer 6

The original ten, but put in modern day language, followed by an 11th commandment, to follow the preceding 10.

Answer 7

Thou shalt mind thou own business
Thou shall shut the F%$ up when talking about religion
Thou shalt look outsid ethine own tiny little world
Thou shalt love & not judge thy fellow men, women, tvs, etc

and number 5 for free,,,thou shalt not listen to the pope!

Answer 8

Thou shall not be suckered in by faiths 1000's of years old

Thou shall not believe that god is a man sitting on a cloud

Thou shall not believe that any religion apart from Christianity should be spat on

Thou shall not believe that Jesus was the son of god

Answer 9

Thou shalt not produce reality TV programs

Honor thy cats and dogs

Though shalt not eat all the good chocolates, then leave the wrappers in the box

Though is entitled to more paid leave, from thy work

Answer 10

Thou shalt not sit in the isle seat and block the window seat from use to other passengers whilst on public transport.
Thou shalt not conform to or be swayed by racial stereotypes as laid out in the tabloid press/media in general.
Thou shalt not get all annoyed about smokers whilst you crawl through the centre of town in your 4x4 dumping your litter out of the window.
Thou shalt not covet thy neighbours wife's a**
Remember the truth and keep it holy

Answer 11

Thou shalt not snitch on co-workers to the boss, especially when thou don't have the story straight. * See commandment suggestion #6
Thou shalt not use friends as door mats or as source of presents for thine kids/grandkids.
Thou shalt not deliberately hurt the feelings of another person, especially not in public.
Thou shalt not judge others solely on their looks, and clothing., that just because thou art shallow, think that everyone else is too.
I would call the new religion: "We can't all be celebrities, who would be left to buy the gossip papers?" Or, "There is more to life than Britany Spears, and whatshername, the jailbird, [oh Paris Hilton]."
Thou shalt not make graven images of false idol celebrities who often drink to exccess and endanger others, do drugs, and forget to wear the proper underwear and get out of the back of their limo ungracefully, for the next sound you will hear is plaster cracking when they fall from grace.
Thou shalt not take thy job for granted, thou shouldst show up on time, do the job description, play well with others, and go home on time. *See commandment suggestion number one.
Thou shalt not keep thy neighbors up all night with your partying, arguing, loud engine revving, or elicit loud fornication. Thine neighbors feareth that when God striketh thine version of Sodom and Gommorra down, He might miss, and take their house instead.
Thou shalt keep your pets quiet and in thine own yard. Thou shalt not allow them to bark or yowl 24/7, or evacuate in thy neighbor's yard.
Thou shalt learn the meaning of the initials RSVP, and when asked by thine friends and relatives, shall go forth and do this forevermore.
Thou shalt not go to Answers! and ask this of thy neighbors: "Coke or Pepsi?"
Gave you several ideas for the commandments, as well as some names for your new religion. Hope this helps!
