    That’s way too tame… I fear it won’t attract 8M in funding.

    Jokes aside, the Christian commandments are quite lacking (insufficient) when it comes to contemporary morals… eg. there’s nothing forbidding discrimination or violence (short of homicide) or slavery or corruption or torture or neglicence etc. (and this is if one quite generously interprets “your neighbor” as “anybody else”, which is clearly not what the word means and which doesn’t explain why only some of the precepts have this “universal restriction”).

    I always find it weird when people cite the commandments as a moral compass without integrating them with (very much necessary) additional prescriptions.
