Much better than "god's" ten commands! 😀

I like these that Dale McGowan used in the book Parenting Beyond Belief: Humility, Empathy, Courage, Honesty, Openness,Generosity, and Gratitude.

I'm not that picky. I can support the lot of those ten creeds.

I have no commandments nor morality, but I can go for number one any time.

11: Guidelines, not Commandments. 😉
Great list, though!

I actually don't care for number 6. The word "morality" has too much of a religious connotation for me. Besides, number 2 makes number 6 redundant. I also don't care for number 8. The word "good" is a little ambiguous.

So we want to turn nonbelief into a religion, which some already incorrectly declare that we are? Do we also get uniforms, or at least a dress code? Is there a tithe? Is dancing encouraged or forbidden? Who is our leader? Are yachts involved. or just private planes?

@MikeInBatonRouge Always loved this.

@genessa Me too! No uniforms for us, but maybe watching football in our underpants. 🤗

@MikeInBatonRouge this was awesome! Never knew Martin did this on Letterman.🤣

@Redheadedgammy lol no football for me, and no underpants either!

I wouldn't use that word, because nobody commands us to do anything. I think creed is better because we believe in all of those statements.

When you say ‘our’, which collective are you referring to?

Obviously the non believers. But if you don't want to be there, go to the side of the believers.

@Mofo1953 I made no comment one way or the other. Just wondering if those principles stand true under all conditions at all times.

What is the difference between ethics and morality in the context of the list?

@Geoffrey51 if you don't know, I'm not here to tell you more than what I already said. Choose a side, you either believe in those 10 statements or you don't. Then identify yourself if you belong to that collective who believes on those things or if you don't. It's very simple.

@Mofo1953 Cripes! That sounds very grand. I am guessing you can’t think of why ethics and morals are given different categories.

Exclusive clubs are a bit too religious for my sensitivities. I would suggest you ask these people why ethics and morals are given different emphasis.

Morals sounds a bit religious which is my red flag.

@Geoffrey51 you guess wrong. Choose a side.

@Mofo1953 Nah! Choosing sides is what causes problems.

I’ll go on my merry way thanks. Good luck!

@Geoffrey51 figure that way ahead of you.
