SUGGESTIONS FOR LIVING
Note: The "Ten Suggestions" are no longer only ten... Popular demand has declared that suggestions have infinite potential to grow in number.
Here are the Suggestions for Living. As we at THE CHURCH OF COLLABORATIVE SAINTS do not wish to impose any lifestyle regulations upon our members, we offere these merely as suggestions for living, rather than commandments.
These are generated by church members, and are completely editable at any time. If you do not agree with one, instead of simply deleting it, offer underneath it a critique and propose something different. It might be helpful to put your critique in italics, which can be done by clicking on the icon in the upper right of this text field when you are editing, or by simply placing two apostrophes before and two apostrophes after what you wish to be italicized. Thanks for participating!

Excellent. Saint JD has offered some very good suggestions resulting from his daily experience with the phenomenon of American commerce. We should all realize that double bagging is rarely necessary! Last evening at YURS, a local church gathering place in PDX, Saint Caesy pointed out that to only have ten "suggestions" mirrored Christianity's ten commandments far too much. After some pondering, it seems like this is indeed true! Therefore, this page has been edited, and the "suggestions" for living are no longer limited to ten. In fact, they will, from now on, be limitless. We are looking forward to seeing how they evolve as people continue to edit and share their ideas on this page.
XOXOXO,
