None. Hello everybody, this is Michael Moore and this is my podcast. Thanks for tuning in here today. It's a crazy week. I guess Every week now is a crazy week, right? Full of wacko and whacked out stuff. This past week was no different. The one that took the cake for me was the state of Louisiana passing a law stating that every classroom in Louisiana must have a poster size version of the 10 Commandments.

Every classroom in every school. Every public school from kindergarten until your last year in college. It has the whole font size and everything. It's got to be big. You got to be able to read it and it's got it. And I'm, I'm like, OK, what country is this, right? We're not a theocracy, right? It's supposed to be a democracy where we don't have a state religion. There is no Church of England. There is no, we own everything from the river to the sea because we're the special religion.

None of that. We don't have that. This is live and let live be and let be separation of church and state. It's just as I'm sure many of you when you saw that in the news this past week, you thought well, but here's what I thought. And this is what I think that they what they don't understand in Louisiana because often they are kind of behind the times in certain certain southern states.

Just not knocking them. Just saying takes a while to catch up. And in this case, what they're posting as what they call the 10 commandments, those are the old

10 commandments. The new ones, obviously they don't know about now, but in part that's probably because they don't have a special personal relationship with God as I do. I interviewed him about this Jesus seven or eight years ago about, you know, his, his new commandments, which when I heard that he had done this, I just thought, wow, this is a very progressive forward thinking. You know, the God that we were raised with told people that the

earth did not go around the sun. The sun revolved around the earth. We were the center of the universe because God made U.S. special, you know, and all the other weird stuff that was in what we called the Bible, a lot of good stuff, but you know, a lot of little. You were able to stone people to death for a variety of crimes or sins. So he he got rid of all that. It happened right around when the new Pope came in.

I thought this got more attention than than I guess it did because they don't know about it down South in Louisiana. So this podcast right now today is I am going to, as a gift to the state of Louisiana, give them the new 10 commandments that God put forth here in in the last decade here. So before I do that, I'm going to take a quick break to thank our underwriters for this week's episode of my podcast. So stay tuned, Louisiana. And when we come back, God's latest upgrade on the 10

Commandments just for you. So my first underwriter I want to thank is Shopify. Listeners of this podcast have heard me talk about Shopify many times over the years. They are of course, the incredible global commerce platform that made the 21st century tools that people need.

down or whatever. Basically, I'll I'll read you the old commandment we call the 10 commandments each one of the ten of these and then I'll read you God's new commandment for that one the way he's changed it up.

And also he gave me some notes for like footnotes so that people understand what he's trying to say here when he says the things that he said to me. And he, I assume he said this to millions of others on earth, but not to anybody, I guess, in Louisiana. So if everybody's ready, here we go. These are gods, not me gods. New 10 commandments. OK, so we'll start with number one. Number one. The old one was I am the Lord thy God. Thou shalt have no false gods before me.

No false gods. That was because, you know, the people escaping Egypt where they made a golden calf, Moses came down, got upset they were having a big orgy. And so that's what he meant by no false gods. I'm the God, not your golden calf, not your whatever. OK, but who has a golden calf? You know, this is all old this. That's why he wanted the new 10 commandments. And I guess I am the Oracle that was supposed to have done the job of getting these out there to all of you.

And I guess I failed in my role in that. My apologies. But here they are. OK, so that's number one. I'm the Lord thy God that shall have no false gods before me. The new first commandment is smash capitalism, eat the rich and stop buying crap you don't need. Isn't that easy? We get that. All right. Second commandment, the old one, thou shalt not take the name of the Lord thy God in vain. In other words, you aren't supposed to like curse using his name.

It was a sin to say things like God damn it or whatever. But then as he explained to me, remember, I'm the creator. I invented all those words. You can say God damn it as much as you want. You can drop as many F bombs as you want. I don't care. I invented the word, I invented the F bomb. Don't let these people tell you that you're sinning or whatever. If using the language I gave you, there's no right way to use it. I created it. OK, God, chill. I I got it.

You know, I'm trying to write all that down while he's telling me all this. OK, so here's the new second commandment about don't use his name in vain. That's the old way. The new way. That's my name. Don't wear it out and quit saying God Bless America. It sounds like a command. You can ask me to bless America, but don't just make it a statement. God Bless America like an order like you're ordering me doesn't sound very loving. So that's his. I gave you all his notes in that

too. It's but the actual new commandment is say what you want. There's no rules here about his name except don't be bullying him to bless America. I think probably he thought, you know, you got to kind of earn that. You don't just get to say it. God Bless America. No, no, no, no. How about God, please bless us, please bless America, you know, something like that that he

would listen to, I think. All right, the third commandment, the old way, keep holy the Lord's Day, 'cause that's the day he's supposedly didn't do any creating, took the day off on the Sabbath. So you're, you know, you're supposed to keep that day holy. All right, all right, the new third commandment is the Lord's day is Thursday night to Monday morning. That is your time off from work.

And then he went on to explain that one day out of seven is not enough to have off to recover from the week. You know, you need at least Friday, Saturday and Sunday, and you can start after work on Thursday night and you don't have to show up till Monday morning. That's essentially what he was saying. And that in general, his feeling was wage slavery. We don't really call it that now. We call it like going to work and then we get paid for that

work. But if we don't do that, then we don't have a roof overhead, We don't have food on the table, We don't have clothes to wear. So therefore, it's like we're forced to work to labor, and in return, what's supposed to make that all OK is that we get a paycheck, which for some people is good, and for a hell of a lot of people, it does not make ends

meet. So he, as he was explaining this to me, he just wanted to make sure that people understood that that wage slavery is a sin and that it's a sin to not pay a living wage. And it is a sin for any person to have to have to forced to work more than 36 hours a week. 4th commandment, the old commandment, honor your mother and father, which basically as he's explained it to me, that's

still a good commandment. You should honor your mother's and your father's, your grandmothers and grandfathers, the elderly in general, those who raised you. All of that is a good thing to do, but he also in his notes to me and I'm just reading from his notes, his the guy. He does not have good handwriting. It's like a doctor's handwriting. You know where they like purposely scribble so that you can't fill the prescription yourself.

OK, so this is what he said. Wanted to make it very clear that nobody over the age of 50 should have to pay for that roof over their head. They should live rent free, mortgage free, food is free, all prescriptions and medical bills should be free. And that charging older people, charging them money because they get sick, that is a sin. See these new commandments are so much better #5 the old commandment Thou shalt not kill. No change. No don't. You still shouldn't be killing

people. He wasn't just talking about taking a knife to somebody or shooting them. He wanted to include all kinds of killing. So in the new 10 commandments, he explained to me that all killing has to end, especially the organized kind. When a, when a nation state commits acts of war, that's like a mortal sin, he said. And then to under score it, he says to me, by the way, just in case you don't understand, that means you, America, I'm looking right at you.

No more killing and you too. British Empire and Russia and Israel and Saudi Arabia, those are the ones he singled off. There's a lot more there. But you know, basically this is a mortal sin to take the lives of other human beings. And it was a little creepy as he was explaining this, 'cause I really felt like he was giving me the stink eye, especially about the United States. You know, he said you have to stop funding wars, stop sending arms to other countries.

You have to stop invading countries. And it was a kind of little myth too, because he's like you, America. Why of all people do you do this? I mean, I gave you guys the Grand Canyon. I gave you half of Niagara Falls and I've given you over a dozen Six Flags amusement parks. I mean, I, I really have as you can see, it's kind of signaled you out for some special favors and perks that other places don't have. There's no Grand Canyon in Belgium. He gave that to us in return.

All he's asking is stop warring, stop funding wars, stop the organized state sponsored killing and and and he's and he's like in Israel. I mean, seriously, I made you the chosen people. I didn't choose you to do this. Stop it. Oh, and by the way, he says to me, I didn't give the Holy Land to anyone group anyone, religion, one people or whatever. The earth belongs to everyone and people should have the freedom to live where they want. I'm I couldn't argue with that.

The 6th commandment, the old commandment, thou shalt not commit adultery. The new 6th commandment, don't be a cheater, don't be a loser. And no one is required to get married in the 1st place. So as he explained, you know, look, if you're a cheater, cheaters are going to cheat. So stay single. Don't don't mess up people that you say you love by then lying and cheating and not being there. It's OK.

You don't have to be there. See, that's the thing he's telling me nothing in the Bible, it says everybody's got to get married. Nothing. Even in the old commandments, it doesn't require you to get married. So live the life you want to live. Be a consenting adult with other consenting adults, whatever that means to you. So interesting upgrade here to thou shalt not commit adultery #7 the old commandment, thou shalt not steal. And the new one, he said to me that one's unchanged.

Still the same, no stealing. And then in his added comments, cause again, he doesn't think that we modern people understand the definition of stealing. It's not just, you know, robbing a bank or breaking into somebody's home or stealing their goat. He was like, look, stealing also includes, and they gave me a whole list of things. For instance, he said, any company that rips off consumers, that's a sin. Any business that does not pay a thriving living wage, that's a sin.

Charging $200 for ten prescription pills, that's a sin. That's stealing. That's theft. Blaming inflation for when what the companies are really doing are just jacking the prices to steal more money from us, that's a sin, he said. The list is long of the thievery that has to stop. One notable one I saw here on the that he gave me was charging people money to see any sequel to Transformers. That's a sin. So he gets really into the weeds

on the stealing thing. And if I have time I'll I'll try and post the the extended version here of his new 10 commandments #8 commandment #8 the old one. Thou shalt not lie. And once again he said unchanged still can't lie. Lying is wrong. Lying is a sin. And the. But he had some add-ons to this too. Again trying to explain what lying was. It's not just just telling a little fib or or lying about hush money payments or that kind of thing. He said. I thought this was really cool.

He told me he said that it's best to start this way. Says you know how like, like you have this, you know, thing where you're in your country where if you're innocent until proven guilty beyond a reasonable doubt. He said you need to apply that kind of thinking to lying. But it's the opposite. He said with lying because the biggest lies, the lies that cause the most harm to the his planet that he created and the people he created are the wise

told by those in power. So right away he said anything uttered by or said by Aceo or a politician or a breakfast cereal ad, you must assume when you hear their claim what they're telling you. You must automatically assume you are being lied to unless they prove otherwise to you. And that means prove it with evidence.

So in other words, if you hold power is this point, you are guilty of lying just by opening your mouth because you're incentivized to lie because you make more money or you get elected to office or whatever it is. You get whatever the reward is from your lying. So better for us instead of just being disappointed all the time. Oh, he lied. Yeah, that's his job. Our job is to be critical thinkers. You know, the brain he gave us. Yeah.

We're supposed to. As soon as we hear anything spoken by somebody in power, whether it's financial power, elected power, whatever, You have to start with assuming. Yeah, I don't know about that. I don't know what he's saying here. If that's true, I should probably. I'm going to check that out. And now God, and God did not say you got to just Google it and that's enough. You got to really check it out.

You have to investigate. That's why you need a Free Press. You got to have investigation journalism going on. That's how you enforce the 8th commandment of Thou shalt not lie, genius, right. You see, I said, why didn't you tell Moses all this when you gave him the original 10 commandments? He said because he was writing it in stone.

It was on a stone tablet, you can only carry 2 tablets down the mountain and I couldn't fit all this other stuff in about all the ways I don't approve of stealing or lying or killing. I said when? Dude, this would have been a big help if you had clarified this, you know, 5000 years ago. But I'm not no judgement, that's your job. I'm just just saying the 9th commandment, the old way. Thou shalt not covet thy neighbor's wife. OK, Covet. Yeah, these are the next.

The last two commandments are the coveting. I guess that meant you shouldn't desire or want what your neighbor has. And I guess this refers to the wife. So I guess this this is sort of a property issue because the man back when these things were written owned the wife and he really wanted to clean this one up. He was like, wow, this is really old. So he said the new 9th commandment, it's not thou shalt not covet thy neighbor's wife.

It's thou shalt not covet thy neighbor's partner unless he or she is super hot. OK, he didn't really say that. I, I, no, this God doesn't God, God believes everybody's hot. First of all, he made us is I if you, if he was in here right now, he'd say, why are you saying that about unless, unless they're hot, unless they're hot. No, they're all hot. Everybody's hot. I made everybody in my image and likeness. Remember I'm hot. That means everybody on earth is hot.

Every animal, every living thing, every tree is hot. The main thing he, he actually just wanted to get rid of this commandment, the 9th 1:00, because it's basically the whole thing the nuns taught us about. You can't have impure thoughts or you're committing a sin. And I remember, I think I mentioned this before that one of the early nuns I had, I, I asked the nun. I said, jeez, what happens? I think, yeah, it's probably about 5th or 6th grade, probably

entering puberty. And I asked the nun, But what if I get like a thought about, you know, the girl sitting across from me here in the in the desk? How do you know when is it a mortal sin to have an impure thought and when is it a a venial sin? She was very clear on this. If you hold the thought for only 5 seconds, it's just a minor a venial sin. But if you hold the impure thought, this is in other words, you're just thinking in your head that, you know, you're attracted to somebody.

If you're just thinking that, she said, if you if you hold that thought for more than five seconds, it's then a mortal sin. Whoa, so it's like that, you know, I just remember going through like 6th, 7th, 8th grade, actually timing my impure thoughts where it'd be like, OK, I gotta get rid of the five second mark 340. Jeez. You know, I'm trying to get it out of my head. And and and I was pretty successful.

I was able to to just, you know, basically you just try to do box scores from baseball in your head and then all that stuff will will leave your head. But what he wanted to point out why he doesn't want this commandment anymore is that thoughts, imagination, whatever that goes on between your two ears, that's up to you. And you can think anything you want and have any kind of fantasy you want and any kind of whatever. You're not a Sinner, it's not

dirty, you're not impure. What matters is how you act on it. And if you act on it, you have to make sure that you treat the other person with respect, that anything you do together is with consent, active and and enthusiastic consent, you know, not just convincing yourself that there was consent. Boy, this guy had really evolved. I mean, he or she was really had it together on this 9th commandment and then the 10th commandment. He, he wanted to get rid of this

too. Although he does, he does think it makes a maybe a better point. 10th commandment. Thou shalt not covet thy neighbor's goods or possessions. And that was the old 10th commandment. And he said, but that's actually kind of a good thing because and so actually he wrote, he gave me a new 10th commandment, which I guess would be the 9th commandment. Now the new way is be happy with what you have, and you probably have too much stuff anyway, so stop buying crap that you don't

need. It's kind of the tone he used too. You see, you don't get that on a stone tablet. There's no context, there's no tone. But he thought the idea of you sitting around thinking, I wish I had my neighbor's car. I wish I had that jewelry, I wish I had this or that or whatever. No, no, no, no, no, no, no. So that's the, the new Covet commandment.

And then before we stopped our, our little session, he said, actually, I'm going to put out some new commandments here pretty soon, but I'll just tell you what they are now so that you can tell others that I've I've got, let's see how many did he give me here? 123-4567 Oh, wow. So in addition to the now nine commandments, there are now going to be 7 new ones. I'll just quickly, I'll quickly just lay them out here for you. What how he put it out to me.

These are the new commandments from him of how to live your life. And some of this, I think he told that Jesus guy. Some of this stuff, I think it's in the newer, the newer part of the Bible with the 12 Fisher fishing guys. OK, ready. All right, the new 7 number one, love your neighbor as yourself. Whoa. Of course, you know the golden rule, you know, treat others the way you'd like to be treated. And I and I love the grammar of this love your neighbor as

yourself. In other words, in order to know how to love your neighbor, you, you saying you first have to love yourself. Start there by trying to love yourself, and then you'll know how to love your neighbor. Beautiful, beautiful thought. The second new one is love your enemy. Love your enemy. Yeah. He told that to his son there, too. JC, I keep saying his son. It was you could have been her son, their son.

Don't. So don't don't get hung up with the, the, the pronouns here because a lot of us are still stuck in the old way, But that's OK. There's drugs for this. Love your enemy, do good to those who persecute you. Learn to turn the other cheek. That's a hard one. But he see he knew we'd start killing each other. He doesn't want you killing your enemy. He wants you loving your enemy. The third one he added on here and I'm sure he'll he'll post this on his website I'm sure fairly soon.

Refusing to eliminate poverty is a sin. Wow, absolutely, he explained to me too. He said. Just the fact that any country that where poor people exist means the country has failed, failed themselves, failed me. Here's his next one. There's no one he's going to be putting out there to the public. Treat women as if they are the ones who bring life into the world. A woman must control their own body, not men controlling it. Abortion is not a sin.

It is a wonderful, blessed medical procedure that I God gave you. I, the Creator, I invented abortion. It's a medical procedure. Oh, he just went off on this. So he just kept, he's very upset at this whole issue, not because the first of all, the word abortion doesn't even appear in his Bible, doesn't appear on Moses's tablets, none of that. All made-up by these new Christian nationalist born again's whatever that we've had to listen to for a number of decades now coming to an end

very soon near you. And then he wanted to make one more point. A fertilized egg is not a human being. A seed is not a flower. A stem is not a flower. A flower is a flower. Same thing for human beings. There's a fertilized egg, there's an embryo, there's a fetus. There's a whole process. None of that is an actual birth to human being. Let's see, he's got how many more does he have here? No, just three more.

OK, He said to me to be gay or lesbian or bi or trans or queer is to be like God. And then she or he adds to me when when utters the word God. And then like, like as a side the at the side of her mouth, she goes, you know who happens to be very fluid? God is fluid. OK, yeah, I would hope so. Right. His next to last one here. Forcing anyone to post these commandments is a sin. So just what Louisiana is doing

according to God is the sin. Forcing kids to read this, telling them they must follow these. He said to me, He said, remember, I'm the one who invented free will. I gave everyone of you free will. You get to make up your own minds of what you're going to do, whether it's right or wrong. You don't pray to me and ask me if it's right or wrong. You know what's right or wrong. I gave you a conscience. So don't. He gets she gets. They get ticked at this as it was being explained to me.

And so that's it. That's those are the new ones he's going to be putting up at his his website sometime. I thought it'd be by now sometime soon 00 and he had he then at the very end before the lights went out, he he just throws in oh, but one more time. He just wanted to say it. Smash capitalism. OK, I heard you the first time.

Got it. All right, my friends, that's it. That is what you got from my podcast today, my own conversation with God of of the commandments that he wanted to give a good upgrade to for the times in which we live. Fix some confusion and misappropriation of her or his or their words and be done with all this nonsense. The old commandments, the old 10, as he pointed out, some unchanged. Stop killing, stop stealing, stop lying, stop buying crap and everything else. A new way to look at it.

Feel free to share this with your family, friends, prayer groups, you know, anybody that you think this may help them live a better life. All right, that's it. We love you, Louisiana. God bless you. Thanks to my producer and editor, Angela Vargos, and to all of you for listening here today. I'll talk to you after the debate this week. Take care everybody. This is Michael Moore.

God Bless America, land that I love, Stand beside her and guide her through the night with a light from aboard, From the mountains to the prairies to the ocean, wife with palm. God Bless America, my home sweet. Home from home to the prank to the old. My heart sweet.
