I like the religious/mystical language and imagery, but I think it’s important to remember that the Sequences/Virtues/Codex/whatever are not scriptures in the traditional sense. Scriptures are unquestioned; they’re something you’re supposed to take on faith without disagreeing. Somewhere in the Sequences, Yudkowsky explicitly says that you’re not supposed to blindly listen to him, and at least implies that he’s probably made mistakes in the book.
There’s the Twelve Virtues (http://yudkowsky.net/rational/virtues/).
