dragonfly: flaming chalice of Unitarian Universalism (chalice pink)

A recent fad that has swept through Unitarian Universalism is to have a person or a study group rewrite the ten commandments for modern sensibilities and values (yes, we are an arrogant, blasphemous lot). Mom's group replaced the first commandment (um, the Jewish first and second commandments) with "Respect other people's beliefs," and the prohibition on graven images became "Encourage creative endeavors." :-) They threw out quite a few and added things like, "Take care of the Earth." I think only "Do not murder" and "Do not steal" passed their review intact.
