So, pompous, smug, pretentious wankstain Alain de Botton has composed a kind of Ten Commandments for atheists.
www.independent.co.uk/news/uk/home-news/10-new-virtues-for-atheists-alain-de-botton-unveils-new-manifesto-8479256.html

What do you make of them? Got any better suggestions for a modern day/internet ten commandments?

I'll start:

1. NO WHISKY CHAT

I don't like anything that is fundementally unchangable over time.
Which is why I sort of have a problem with a constitution. There should be a balance between consistancy over a long period to avoid the fact peoples attitudes jump around a lot, and making it possible to update things so they reflect the modern world.
