The Spitzish Commandments
*Please note: these commandments are not intended to be taken seriously. There is no religion that goes by the name Spitzism, if there one is then it is simply consequence. The following is my idea of how the ten commandments should be, if they should exist at all.*
1. Thou shall keep an open mind. It is important to not only accept my words, but the words of other entities lesser than, equal to, or great than myself. In order to justly reject one's opinion one must use logical, calm and rational thinking and/or debate. Also, at least two other entities agree that your thinking is rational and justified. Followers of Spitzism are not allowed to force others in certain lines of thinking directly or indirectly. Consent must be first given before expressing beliefs, under most circumstances. A judge will be responsible deciding whether or not one can bypass consent.
2. You are forever responsible for your actions. You may not blame something. You must take responsibility. Any punishment given should be received with no resistance.
3. Thou shall do whatever the fuck you want, as long as you do not harm or potentially harm any living entity without consent. You can ignore the law of your governing agent(s) as long as you put no unwilling entity in risk of harm, death or suffering. In order to receive consent, you must ask kindly. In the case that the entity is not able to respond, assume it does not give consent. Consent is optional if there is a 85% chance or higher that no entity will be harmed.
4. Thou shall not kill. There are exceptions: self defense, justified war, and food. In order for a war to be justified, all other options of resolving the issue failed, force used is proportional to the opposing force/injustice, minimal suffering is inflicted (no painful chemical or biological weapons), civilian causalities are none, otherization is not used, and rape and looting is NEVER introduced or used in the war.
5. Unless it you are given consent or it is a burden to an entity, you may not take what is not yours. In order for it to be your own, you must haven received it as gift or from a will, you either earned it or purchased it, or you have rightfully claimed it in a duel.
6. Adultery can only be committed if all parties are not happy in their relationship, all parties do not have children that are 18 or younger and all parties must be consensual and are not drugged.
7. Lying in order to gain power, to gain property and/or harm an entity is strictly forbidden. Lying to protect, surprise or help someone is encouraged. Remember, lie at your own risk.
8. It would be amazing if you could respect others' health, mental state and current situation. Also, it would be swell if you considered ones emotions and state of being before interacting with them.
9. If an entity does an injustice to you, you may avenge yourself with force equal to the injustice. Example: do not kill a fiend if they only bump into you.
10. For breaking any of the above commandments will result in excommunication from Spitzism.

I think that # 8 is interesting; it’s something that I've always considered, and it has always kept my words in check, but I like ridicule by parody with blasphemy involved, and so I just had to say what a great idea that I think yours is. In the words of JC: Whenever two or three are gathered in one place, a parrot sketch must be preformed(or a silly walk, I love the silly walk). That would be John Cleese of course. I've often thought how my own commandments would go. This is what I've come up with so far: Thou shalt not escape genetic drift by getting stuck in Hardy-Weinberg theorem. Just sorta funny. I like your writing.
