The Ethical Atheist: Ten New Commandments, er, Suggestions

The Ethical Atheist has posted an alternate set of commandments, which he admits can only be suggestions when the spirit of the list is upheld.

1. Thou SHALT NOT believe all thou art told.
2. Thou SHALT seek knowledge and truth constantly.
3. Thou SHALT educate thy fellow man in the Laws of Science.
4. Thou SHALT NOT forget the atrocities committed in the name of god.
5. Thou SHALT leave valuable contributions for future generations.
6. Thou SHALT live in peace with thy fellow man.
7. Thou SHALT live this one life thou hast to its fullest.
8. Thou SHALT follow a Personal Code of Ethics.
9. Thou SHALT maintain a strict separation between Church and State.
10. Thou SHALT support those who follow these commandments.

If you click on each one, the link will take you to a brief description of the commandment and why it's needed or valid.

[Another alternate version, though not as good, can be found here.]

Not a bad list. What would change, add, or delete?
