I saw Chris's new commandments on the wiki and I thought it could make an interesting comparison to the mainline Christianity Commandments for the wiki.
Note that some denominations number the commandments differently. If anyone knows how Chris's church would number it, that would be useful. People who are more familiar with the Bible are welcome to add commentary.
Misc: Chris uses archaic pronouns, probably due to having a KJV Bible as reference, but not archaic verb forms.
1) Thou may have and worship one or multiple Gods, Goddesses, and Demi-Gods, or even none at all; which ever best feels well and good with thee.
Antithetical to the greatest obligation to God and fundamental belief of monotheism: "I am the Lord thy God. Thou shalt have no other Gods before me". Chris replaces the uniqueness of God with whatever people feel like.
2) Thou may make for yourself an Idol that is safe and good and blessed; thou must not make for yourself an Idol that is harmful, toxic, or demonic to you or anyone else.
Antithetical to "Thou shalt not make unto thee any graven image". Although what counts as an idol varies through history and Christian denominations. Nowadays depictions of Jesus, God, other biblical scenes and figures is common in 2d and 3d art (Islam is much more strict about depicting biblical figures.) I'm not sure what exactly Chris means by idol or if he is aware of what it means.
3) Thou must not misuse the name of the Lord your God, or any other God, Goddess, or Demi-God; "God Damn It" shall be most punishable as well.
Aside from straying from monotheism, is similar to "Thou shalt not take the name of the Lord thy God in vain" (KJV) / "You shall not make wrongful use of the name of the Lord your God" (NSRV modern translation). The note about "God damnit" is stereotypical conservative American Christian chiding.
4) Remember to observe the Sabbath day (Sunday) by keeping itHoly
Very similar to "Remember the sabbath day, to keep it holy". Note Jews traditionally observe Sabbath starting from Saturday dusk while most Christians observe on Sunday.
5) Honor thy father, mother, and any or all legal guardians who have helped greatly in your raising and support.
Similar to "Honor thy father and thy mother", though arguably diminishes the special role parents have by bringing up guardians.
6) Thou must not murder, nor commit, or helpanother [sic] to commit, suicide, regardless of circumstances.
Similar to "Thou shalt not murder". Possibly treats suicide as "self-murder" and assisted suicide as "murder" based on how it is included in the commandment. The morality of assisted suicide is nowadays a controversial ethics question (I'm not sure of Christian views on suicide - I assume it is destroying the person which is a gift from God).
7) Adultry is okay, well, and good, as long as all involved are direct, open, and honest with each other; thou must not commit adultry in secret from thy partner(s).
Completely antithetical to "Thou shalt not commit adultery". Funny how flagrantly this disregards traditional Christian morality.
8) Thou must not steal.
Identical to "Thou shalt not steal".
9) Thou must not testify falsely against thy neighbor, or anyone, nor testify without prior knowledge of the greater contexts and truths of the circumstances and details.
Similar to "Thou shalt not bear false witness against that neighbor", but more verbose and expands to include anyone.
10) Thou must not covet thy neighbor's belongings
Similar to "Thou shalt not covet..." commandments, though leaves out neighbor's wife, unless she counts as a belonging.
14) Thou shalt not hate thy neighbours or others that share Any similarities in Race, Ethnicity, Interests, or whatever else with thee. And thou shalt not hate thy self for any of these traits or interests, either.
Similar in spirit to Biblical "love thy neighbor" which is thematically in the Ten Commandments, but Chris is more explicitly racist and autistic about interests.
21) Thou need not feel pressured nor obligated to pursue sexual relations, and among All who pressure and talk continuously about sex, please do not speak on and on. And thou need not feel obligated to listen if thou feel uneasy around others when they speak of which. For sexual relations are Better when thou and thy partner(s) actually feel appreciative and open, and Not pressured by others beforehand.
No apparent connection to The Commandments (other than tangentially to adultery). The Bible in Genesis does encourage to "be fruitful and multiply" and "And the Lord God said, It is not good that the man should be alone; I will make him an help meet for him."
