Delurking to say I love that list, except I have a minor issue with the worduse "evil". I wish the author had picked a different descriptor.

What if you're a grumpy atheist? Surly and misanthropic?

Our wings are not tired.
The way I see it, is that sometimes the usual Ten Commandments followers are awaiting their joy in heaven. An Atheist should not wait for a later time to marvel at life and find joy in the day to day.
I don't count on anything happening once I shuffle this mortal coil; I be using up all my joy in the here and now.

(9) Form independent opinions on the basis of your own reason and experience; do not allow yourself to be led blindly by others.

Seriously. Also, what does it mean to treat the world in general with faithfulness? Am I not supposed to behave flirtatiously with other worlds? I can probably manage that, but... can I at least fantasize about other worlds?

That's a cool list. Although possibly I fail at #3 by eating meat.
Hey, I totally respect my bacon. I'm gonna eat it, but I respect it.

Sir, it's not an offence to let your cat eat your bacon. Okay? And we don't arrest cats, I'm very sorry.
Hey, I totally respect my bacon.
Me too. But I don't always respect my chicken.
