Still, though, I think you sometimes leave too many loopholes. Commandment 4, for example, says "Don’t kill, hurt, insult or ridicule people or animals without extraordinary cause". Any killer can come up with an extraordinary cause to justify his actions. In this respect, I prefer the original. Don't kill. Period.

Also, since you don't presume to be divinely inspired (thank you for that), why bring God into the picture at all? I think the strength of your commandments is precisely that they are the product of a reasonable, human mind.

A similar intent to yours has recently inspired me to produce a "manifesto" of my own. Check it out. Cheers,

Alfredo

I printed them out and posted them on the refrigerator.
