Moses Moments

[smileswhf]

The UK's Methodist Church and Ship of Fools asked you to suggest a new
commandment to go alongside the famous 10, with five camera phones as
the prizes. So here are the winners, ready to be chiselled in granite...

*Thou shalt not worship false pop idols
Thou shalt not kill in the name of any god
Thou shalt not confuse text with love
Thou shalt not consume thine own body weight in fudge
Thou shalt not be negative*

Among the runners-up were: *Thou shalt not...*

... dump your lover by text... covet thy neighbour's iPod... dance like
your dad... marry unless truly in love... change allegiance if your
football team is relegated... shag sheep unless fully Welsh... hold loud
conversations on thy mobile in a public place... condemn thy neighbour
for having different beliefs... use faith to hide from reality... use
plastic to multiply your possessions... shrink-wrap cucumbers... pretend
to have no change when asked to donate to charity.

And also:* Thou shalt...*

... commit random acts of kindness... respect the earth... indicate at
roundabouts... smile at the person opposite.
