DISCUSSION ON THE TEN COMMANDMENTS (of the Ethical Atheist):
1. Thou SHALT NOT believe all thou art told. (back to top)
Humans are generally very gullible. We believe are sorts of false statements,
stories, reasoning, etc. We even continue to believe falsehoods after they
have been proven untrue. History is full of amazing hoaxes often supported
by religion and the teachings of the Church (see Science, Truth and the
Church) or by others seeking power, popularity or fortune. We have been
told the Earth was flat and has four corners which, if not careful, we may
fall off. We have been told that the Earth is the center of the Universe.
We have been told that sky if a fixed, firm structure to which the sun,
moon and stars are affixed. We have been told that personalities and future
events are predictable using astrology, card reading, crystal balls and
palm reading. We have been told of prophecies by Nostradamas. We have been
told of speaking with the dead, the dead rising, life after death, reincarnation
and bending spoons, to name only a few. We must be more skeptical in what
we are told, what we read and what we are exposed to through the various
forms of broadcast media. When exposed to something new, do NOT accept what
you hear without facts to support it. There are other agendas at work in
your deception. You must always be on guard to protect yourself and your
knowledge.2. Thou SHALT seek knowledge and truth constantly. (back to
top)
There are many adverse factors making it difficult for us to obtain knowledge
and the truth. There is often no motivating factor driving others to present
you with fair, factual, scientific truths. By weaving a complex web of lies,
religions are able to control people and remain in power. Governments may
hide facts and events for fear of scaring the public. There are more advertising
dollars and higher ratings in broadcasting claims of communicating with
the dead than in Kepler's Laws of Planetary Motion. Therefore, we must take
an active role in our own education and constantly seek the truth. It isn't
always obvious and is often very difficult to obtain. Thou SHALT make time
to read non-fiction. Thou SHALT make time to view educational programs.
Thou SHALT spend as much time in the library as you do in the mall or watching
television.3. Thou SHALT educate thy fellow man in the Laws of Science.
(back to top)
People are generally lazy and hold onto currently held false beliefs. This
condition is not acceptable to the ethical atheist. It is not good enough
to sit comfortably with your knowledge of the Universe and look in pity
at those who are still governed by lies, mythology and sensationalism. Scientific
education is the only way to prevail. Only by increasing the comprehension
of scientific truths can we hope to continue our progress past the Dark
Ages. Only if the world contains more educated people can we hope to not
have setbacks. Thou SHALT NOT sit silent and be a closet atheist. Thou SHALT
enlighten thy neighbor.4. Thou SHALT NOT forget the atrocities committed
in the name of god. (back to top)
Many people have limited knowledge, or none at all, of the atrocities committed
during the Inquisition, the Crusades, etc. by the Church and in the name
of religion. Christians are not unique in their cruelty. For example, Muslim
civilizations often imprison, torture or kill those attempting to convert
their citizens to Christianity. (See Atrocities in the Name of Religion
- coming soon...) Few are even remotely aware of these atrocities or think,
"Oh, that was a long time ago and could never happen again". However, it
hasn't been that long ago and is still occurring today in countries like
Bosnia, Rwanda, Burundi, Somalia, Israel, Tibet and Afghanistan. Thou SHALT
fear a repeat of history.5. Thou SHALT leave valuable contributions for
future generations. (back to top)
The nature of knowledge gain is that new truths are most often found by
building upon known facts. If every generation were required to start fresh
in its quest for knowledge, our progress would be severely impacted. Our
children will not have to go back and prove that the earth is not flat.
They will not have to rediscover the atom. It is important that our generation,
and all those that follow, leave scientific knowledge and resources for
our offspring to build upon. Write a book. Publish an article. Develop a
web site. Leave money to organizations that further science and education.
6. Thou SHALT live in peace with thy fellow man. (back to top)
This should not need stating, but murders, torture, wars and brutality are
ever present in all civilizations on earth and have been for all of recorded
history. Most of the large scale wars, as well as suicide bombers, are driven
by religious beliefs and the belief in an afterlife. Even though many religions
claim to be against killing, they promote that killing for god is divine
and will ensure a special status in the afterlife. If we didn't have these
widespread mythological beliefs, there would likely be a massive decrease
in the killings.7. Thou SHALT live this one life thou hast to its fullest.
(back to top)
We do not believe in an afterlife nor that we will be reincarnated to live
again in another form. It is, therefore, imperative that we live this one
life we have to its fullest. We should not live in a puritanical way, starving
ourselves of pleasures, in hopes that it somehow makes us better or that
we will be judged more favorably in our "next life". However, in living
our lives to the fullest, we must always be conscious of our actions to
ensure that they do not have adverse effects on our fellow man.8. Thou
SHALT follow a Personal Code of Ethics. (back to top)
Everyone should have their own personal code of ethics that drives their
behavior. What this contains is an individual undertaking, but current laws
are a good starting point. Many of the commandments of the Bible can be
summarized by this commandment. For example, it should be self-evident that
murder, lying and stealing should be avoided and honoring your mother and
father are necessary, assuming of course that they are worthy of this respect
(e.g. they are not beating/raping you or otherwise abusing you). In general,
a personal code of ethics would not cause harm to others, would be anchored
in truth and would strive to make society a better place.9. Thou SHALT
maintain a strict separation between Church and State. (back to top)
It is extremely dangerous to mix the mind controlling, fear generating,
mythological beliefs of religion with the governing aspects and power of
the state. History is full of examples. Many who founded the United States
knew this and were willing to die to escape the horrors of Europe. We know
that freedom can be measured by the separation of church and state.10.
Thou SHALT support those who follow these commandments. (back to top)
Get involved! Our progress in the last 250 years has been ard fought. Do
not sit idle and let us suffer setbacks. Religious conservatives are highly
organized and well funded. They continue to spread lies. They are trying
to rid our schools of teaching evolution. They are infiltrating government.
They are targeting our children's young, impressionable minds. We must support
those who follow these commandments in every way possible. Support scientific
and atheist organizations by submitting writings, donating money, etc. (donations
are often tax deductible). Purchase books and subscribe to magazines. Attend
seminars. All of these provide backing and support to continue valuable
efforts. Worthy organizations include (but are not limited to): Americans
United for Separation of Church and State, American Atheists, CSICOP - The
Committee for the Scientific Investigation of Claims of the Paranormal and
the Skeptical Inquirer Magazine, The Skeptic's Annotated Bible, The Center
for Inquiry, EvolveFish, Online Library of Literature, your local library,
etc. (For more, see Links of the Ethical Atheist.)Listen - (15, crash,
10 commandments)
Another proposed set of the The Ten Commandments (see website)
From reader AL BLAZO (rants@wackedup.com)
Submitted January 2, 2004
No one of sound mind would dare claim that the world we live in today is
a better place because of the Ten Commandments. The Ten Commandments have
been with us for more than two millennia yet murder, cruelty, thievery,
racism, ethnic hatred and religious strife is just as much, if not more,
a part of our everyday lives as it ever was.
I believe that it's about time to scrap the Ten Commandments as we know
them and replace them with a new set of "rules" that may actually be useful
to us. Towards this end I have compiled a new set of commandments that hopefully
will have some value to mankind.
Let's make copies of these commandments and hang them in county courthouses
and public schools throughout the country. Maybe by the end of this millennia,
if we all strive to live with these new "commandments," we'll have reshaped
our social order into one worthy of honor and respect.
I. Thou shalt worship only reason
II. Thou shalt abstain from invoking deities in the affairs of man
III. Thou shalt disdain all ritual
IV. Thou shalt abhor priestliness
V. Thou shalt loathe superstition
VI. Thou shalt reject all forms of spiritualism and supernaturalism
VI. Thou shalt regard skepticism as a virtue
VIII. Thou shalt reject racism
IX. Thou shalt reject all claims to a moral authority greater than man
X. Thou shalt, in word and action, strive to improve the human condition
