1 John 4:5 refers to the Antichrist and says "They are of the world: therefore speak they
of the world, and the world heareth them."
Chris is appropriately materialistic. Despite including multiple dimensions, all his beliefs are truly of this world. He lacks the ability to take himself out of the equation and is likely incapable of a genuinely selfless act, as in being happy with no tangible reward of any kind or even any recognition because you did the right thing.
Lets put Chris to the 10 commandments test.
1. I am the Lord thy God, which have brought thee out of the land of Egypt, out of the house of bondage. Thou shalt have no other gods before me.
Chris believes in multiple false gods, including himself, fail.
2. Thou shalt not make unto thee any graven image, or any likeness of any thing that is in heaven above, or that is in the earth beneath, or that is in the water under the earth. Thou shalt not bow down thyself to them, nor serve them
Chris worships graven images both of his own make and of others, fail
3. Thou shalt not take the name of the Lord thy God in vain; for the Lord will not hold him guiltless that taketh his name in vain.
Contrary to popular belief this is not about cursing or saying "God Damnit" but about using the name of the Lord for ungodly means. For example claiming to be Jesus to satisfy your own delusions and selfish beliefs. Fail.
4. Remember the sabbath day, to keep it holy.
A controversial ruling but since Chris doesnt work I'm going to say he cannot truly honor the day of rest as every day is a day of rest for him. Fail.
5. Honour thy father and thy mother: that thy days may be long upon the land which the Lord thy God giveth thee.
From hocking Bob's prized possessions to raping Barb, a big fail.
6. Thou shalt not kill.
As far as I know, a pass, regardless of whether you believe it means intentional murder or killing as an absolute.
7. Thou shalt not commit adultery.
A tricky one. Chris is married in his own delusions but not in a biblical sense, however some take Matthew 5:27-28 as evidence that physical sex isnt necessary to commit adultery as its more of a state of mind. On one hand chris believes he's married and has thought of other partners outside his marriage. On the other hand its entirely a delusion. If nothing else he demonstrates the capacity to fail this one. I'll call it a half.
8. Thou shalt not steal.
Off hand I can't recall Chris stealing in the sense of shoplifting but he certainly steals ideas shamelessly. Fail.
9. Thou shalt not bear false witness against thy neighbour.
Chris has lied before and in a sense his world of delusions is the result of a lifetime spent lying to himself. Fail.
10. Thou shalt not covet thy neighbour's house, thou shalt not covet thy neighbour's wife, nor his manservant, nor his maidservant, nor his ox, nor his ass, nor any thing that is thy neighbour's
Chris is very covetous, both of things and women. Fail.
While no one is expected to follow all of them perfectly their whole life, the idea is to try and when you fail you repent and look to change. Chris does not do so and thus he fails to follow all but 1.5 of the Commandments, and tbqh I suspect thats only due to a technicality and lack of opportunity.
