In his latest article for Vanity Fair, noted atheist Christopher Hitchens (pictured) says if god was real there should have been more than 10 commandments. He then goes on to list his "extra" commandments. I agree with all of his new commandments, and I list them here for your reading pleasure:
* Do not condemn people on the basis of their ethnicity or color.
* Do not ever use people as private property.
* Despise those who use violence or the threat of it in sexual relations.
* Hide your face and weep if you dare to harm a child.
* Do not condemn people for their inborn nature -- why would god create so many homosexuals only in order to torture and destroy them?
* Be aware that you too are an animal and dependent on the web of nature, and think and act accordingly.
* Do not imagine you can escape judgement if you rob people with a false prospectus rather than with a knife.
* Turn off that fucking cell phone -- you have no idea how unimportant your call is to us.
* Denounce all jihadists and crusaders for what they are: psychopathic criminals with ugly delusions.
* Be willing to denounce any god or any religion if any holy commandments should contradict any of the above.
* In short: Do not swallow your moral code in tablet form.
