As for child abuse - God's Word talking about love covers child abuse...it covers everything.
Hmmm.. wonder where the idea of those came from?
The only parts missing in the "atheist commandments" are the parts about God Himself, Who wrote the law.
It's as the Lord says, love Him, love one another...when we do that, the rest of the commandments just automatically happen.. they "hang" on these two commandments.
.
When God wrote the ten commandments he really wasn't having one of his best days. He made the first four about himself and how you had better worship him or he would get you. Then he got down to business and said thou shall not kill, steal, commit adultery or lie.
But then he had to close it out with a petty covet commandment
What did he miss?
Moses had just led the Jews out of slavery and god can't even work in a commandment about slavery? He tells to honor your parents but nothing about honoring your kids. Didnt he know about child abuse? Nothing in there about assault or beating the crap out of someone
Again not his best work
The "petty coveting" part would be likened to your #10. To covet is to not be satisfied with what one has and want what others have. Not sure why you called it petty when it's on your own list.

1 Corinthians 13
4 Love is patient, love is kind. It does not envy, it does not boast, it is not proud.
5 It does not dishonor others, it is not self-seeking, it is not easily angered, it keeps no record of wrongs.
6 Love does not delight in evil but rejoices with the truth.
7 It always protects, always trusts, always hopes, always perseveres.
8 Love never fails.
As for worshipping Him; It's not a grievous thing to worship Him as some might suppose - rather, it is a great joy unspeakable!
Upon the Revelation of Jesus Christ and realizing His Love and Grace and how much we need it and don't deserve it, we WANT to worship Him. Worshipping Him is beyond words. For many, that "space" they feel is filled. He fills our cup, so to speak, even to overflowing! He knew this upon creating us also, thus the commandments. Like the other commandments, loving Him, worshipping Him and putting Him first and knowing He is the only God, the true God is good for us, not a bad thing.
One thing that happens upon knowing Him (the Revelation of Jesus Christ) is that we realize we have been/are/and sometimes still can be VERY self righteous in so many ways; thinking we know better than God at times and we surely don't.

Penn Jillette's 10 Commandments for atheists
1. The highest ideals are human intelligence, creativity and love. Respect these above all.
2. Do not put things or even ideas above other human beings. (Let's scream at each other about Kindle versus iPad, solar versus nuclear, Republican versus Libertarian, Garth Brooks versus Sun Ra but when your house is on fire, I'll be there to help.)
3. Say what you mean, even when talking to yourself. (What used to be an oath to (G)od is now quite simply respecting yourself.)
4. Put aside some time to rest and think. (If you're religious, that might be the Sabbath; if you're a Vegas magician, that'll be the day with the lowest grosses.)
5. Be there for your family. Love your parents, your partner, and your children. (Love is deeper than honor, and parents matter, but so do spouse and children.)
6. Respect and protect all human life. (Many believe that "Thou shalt not kill" only refers to people in the same tribe. I say it's all human life.)
7. Keep your promises. (If you can't be sexually exclusive to your spouse, don't make that deal.)
8. Don't steal. (This includes magic tricks and jokes you know who you are!)
9. Don't lie. (You know, unless you're doing magic tricks and it's part of your job. Does that make it OK for politicians, too?)
10. Don't waste too much time wishing, hoping, and being envious; it'll make you bugnutty.
Exactly the same as for anyone else.Penn Jillette's 10 Commandments for atheists

That's damn funny. It took me a bit to get what the hell all the Vegas magician crap was about, til it downed on me; Penn Jillette is Penn, from Penn and Teller.
what's the athiest version of the Golden Rule?

It shows a God who is insecure in his own greatness. A petty God who threatens people who do not toe the line.

Of course everyone knows the Golden Rule is not in the Bible
I believe in something like this
When a christian does good its because he wants to get to heaven and expect to get it for doing good so it kind of an egoism.
When atheist does good it because he is a good person and doesnt expect an backpayment.
good!Penn Jillette's 10 Commandments for atheists

Moses should have listened to methere are no heavenly 10 commandments - the liar moses made them up ... yours are not a whole lot better.
just keep from sinning is in fact the only commandment there is - for admission to the everlasting if a free spirit so desires to accomplish that goal.

We see how easy that is to get around. Do not kill the unborn. God says not to kill....I know! Let's change the word! We will call it abortion, as God says nothing about that!If God wanted to ban abortion, he would have made a commandment on it
We see how easy that is to get around. Do not kill the unborn. God says not to kill....I know! Let's change the word! We will call it abortion, as God says nothing about that!
Don't kid yourself. If there was a commandment to not have an abortion, the next thought would be....I know! Let's change the word! We will call it removal as God says nothing about that.
Try harder.Kind of hard to claim God opposes abortion when God killed all the babies on Earth during the great flood and killed the First Born of Egypt
I didn’t write the BibleTry harder.
First, it is kind of like saying that the teens in Nevada who ran down the former chief of police can justify that killing by saying they were merely following the ways of God who has killed everyone who ever lived and will continue doing so.
Second, the babies/people in the flood were killed my a natural disaster. Even should you believe God sent the flood (which I don't think you do), what is the difference between God "killing" people with a flood or with old age? Either way, they have passed on.
