New 10 Commandments

1 Do not do to others what you would not want them to do to you. .
2 Treat your fellow human beings, your fellow living things, and the world in general with love, honesty, faithfulness and respect. In all things, strive to cause no harm.
3 Do not overlook evil or shrink from administering justice, but always be ready to forgive wrongdoing freely admitted and honestly regretted.
4 Live life with a sense of joy and wonder.
5 Always seek to be learning something new, test all things; always check your ideas against the facts, and be ready to discard even a cherished belief if it does not conform to them.
6 Never seek to censor or cut yourself off from dissent; respect the right of others to disagree with you.
7 Form independent opinions on the basis of your own reasoning and experience; do not allow yourself to be led blindly by others, question everything.
8 Do not discriminate or oppress on the basis of sex or race.
9 Do not indoctrinate your children. Teach them how to think for themselves, how to evaluate evidence, and how to disagree with you.
10 Value the future on a timescale longer than your own.
