2 you should not lie, unless necessary
3 you should love when possible
4 try not to be too selfish/selfcentered

Mine would mostly be the same as the original, but as a non-believer, i'd be inclined to ditch the "Have no other gods" commandment as redundant, and the one about keeping the Sabbath, because sometimes you get stuck having to do shit on what should be your day off and there's no getting around it
The rest are good operational guidelines pertaining to honesty and general respect for the people around you, so i would replace the religious strictures of the commandments i excised with, ironically enough, Jesus' commandment to love your neighbor as yourself
and being me, the new number ten would be, essentially, the encapsulation of all the above..."Try to have a good time, but try not to be too much of an asshole in the process"

I think I can do better.
This presents one problem, if there is no god, is there anyone would could command you? perhaps they should be called the ten guidelines.
Ten Guidelines
1. It's not all you. It's not. When you're going along justifying everything in your mind, remember, it's not all you.
2. All you will do on earth is build card houses, sand castles. They're wonderful, and probably some of the best things in the world are these silly card houses, but keep in mind, they're only silly card houses. Never let your work, your creation, or your ideas, your money, house or even devotion to your children, allow you to be terrible.
If you try, you can probably figure out a lot about what's terrible, if you need help, ask someone who's not afraid of you.
4. You can't work every day, nor should you. Don't plan up all the time, set aside time to be fallow, to relax, to look around you and decide what's best to do with your short span of years and your limited energy.
5. Treat the elderly well, treat them better than you would treat yourself. The elderly have wisdom that you and your generation do not have. Help the weak, remember that no one is worthless. Keep in touch with your family, they will remind you who you are.
6. Killing is wrong, even killing animals with a personality is probably sinful. If you decide that a thinking animal is food, make sure the animal has a good life before it is killed.
7. Sex without a commitment is a betrayal, and enough betraying will make you a betrayer.
8. Don't steal, unless you think it will prevent something terrible.
9. Don't be dishonest, unless you think it will prevent something terrible.
10. Coveting things you don't have will cause you limitless unending pain.

That was awesome!
I was reading: "When you're going along JUSTIFYing everything" and as the word "JUSTIFY" found its way under my eyes I HEARD it in this happy_2b_hardcore song!
"But I just can't JUSTIFYour love"
The words lined up perfectly. It was difficult to tell if I was hearing it or reading it and realized it was both.
