I think, with hindsight, most of us would agree that a few of the 10 commandments completely missed the mark.

1-4 certainly seem like 'somebody' (#3) had some image issues.
  1. You shall have no other Gods but me.
  2. You shall not make for yourself any idol, nor bow down to it or worship it.
  3. You shall not misuse the name of the Lord your God.
  4. You shall remember and keep the Sabbath day holy.
  5. Respect your father and mother.
  6. You must not commit murder.
  7. You must not commit adultery.
  8. You must not steal.
  9. You must not give false evidence against your neighbour.
  10. You must not be envious of your neighbour's goods. You shall not be envious of his house nor his wife, nor anything that belongs to your neighbour.
Anyway, here's your opportunity (via bluemoon) to become a Moses for the next few generations.

With the benefit of hindsight, what should God have told us humans, to really address humanity's big issues.

I'd say the following 3 have some arguable merit, but the rest need replacing.

1 - don't kill anyone unless they really deserve it (a climber from #6).
2 - don't steal stuff other people worked hard and legally to get (effectively up from number 8).
3 - respect ma and pa...unless they don't deserve it. (I've seen a lot of parents who patently don't deserve their kids respect).
 
4 has great merit.

There should be a day of rest where all can just chill out and not work.

In fact 4 should be changed to

Thou shall not work more than 4 days and use your time to enjoy life.

5 -10 should stay as they are with tweaks

1 respect all people no mattter their country, race, religion
2.you can be what gender and sexuality you want without hatred towards you
3.the needs of the many outway the needs of the few or the one.

I've often thought God was a pisspoor product manager. Rushed his product into production to be first to market without thinking it through properly.
 
The day of rest has to be different for everyone. If it was same the day for everyone then no one could do anything as everything would be shut, no public transport etc etc.

I remember Sunday afternoons in the '70s and early '80s. Mind-numbingly boring.

1. Why would a God be so vain, he isn't Johnson
2. I did to Colin Bell
3. Good Lord, what a load of bollox
4. How can you forget, its a day in the pub
5. Unless they are Fred and Rosie
6. I agree with that, although an exception could be made for Lou Fucking Macari
7. Get rid of the "not"
8. Scouser's not heard of this God fella then
9. Unless they are noisy twats and get on your tits
10. I am envious of my neighbours wife's arse, its tremendous, lucky twat.
