Closing our religion coverage for the week …

These people need a course in grammar. The following three are not commandments because they are not in the imperative mood*:
—
3. The scientific method is the most reliable way for your brain to understand the natural world.
4. Every person has the right to control of their mind, body and brain.
5. God is not necessary to be a good person or to use your brain to live a full and meaningful life.

But what are we supposed to DO with that information?
I prefer stuff like “Honour thy father and thy mother” [even if they weren’t great parents] and “Thou shalt not bear false witness” [even if it would benefit you or get your cousin off the hook for theft]. – O’Leary for News

*Imperative mood: If you do not know what I am talking about, do not argue with me; take that course in grammar that you promised yourself ages ago. Do it before the boss asks you to edit a report. 😉
