      No need to invent new commandments. Use the holy book they claim to follow.

      James 5: 1-6:

      1 Now listen, you rich people, weep and wail because of the misery that is coming on you. 2 Your wealth has rotted, and moths have eaten your clothes. 3 Your gold and silver are corroded. Their corrosion will testify against you and eat your flesh like fire. You have hoarded wealth in the last days. 4 Look! The wages you failed to pay the workers who mowed your fields are crying out against you. The cries of the harvesters have reached the ears of the Lord Almighty. 5 You have lived on earth in luxury and self-indulgence. You have fattened yourselves in the day of slaughter. 6 You have condemned and murdered the innocent one, who was not opposing you.

      Not done your best to eliminate wage theft and tax the rich? Fail.

      Leviticus 19:34

      The foreigner residing among you must be treated as your native-born. Love them as yourself, for you were foreigners in Egypt. I am the LORD your God.

      Not voted in favour of equal (voting, residence, labour, …) rights for migrants? Fail.

      Exodus 22:25

      “If you lend money to any of my people with you who is poor, you shall not be like a moneylender to him, and you shall not exact interest from him.

      Not voted in favour of mandating interest free loans to the poor? Fail.
