Horrified by the libido-hating perversity of the Judeo- Christian moral code, but not quite ready for the covert atheism of Buddhism? Hungry for a value system rooted in beauty, love, pleasure, and liberation instead of order, control, politeness, and fear, but allergic to the sophistry of the New Age? Repulsed by the saccharine goodness evangelized by the likes of Oprah and the TV show "Touched by an Angel," but equally offended by the dogmatic reverse morality preached by faux intellectuals who deify entropy and depravity?
It may be time, beauty and truth fans, for you to whip up your very own moral code.
If you do, you might want to keep the following guidelines in mind:
1) A moral system becomes immoral unless it can thrive without a devil or enemy.
2) A moral system grows ugly unless it prescribes rebellion against automaton-like behavior offered in its support.
3) A moral system becomes murderous unless it's built on a love for the sacredness of the truth that EVERYTHING CHANGES ALL THE TIME, and unless it perpetually adjusts its reasons for being true.
4) A moral system will corrupt its users unless it ensures that their primary motivation in being good is to have fun.
