Did I misread all the signs?
Is there actually a hierarchy when it comes to various biblical rules and laws scattered throughout the bible? It seems like the ten commandments should trump the other inane babble, but I'm not sure if there is any formal method among theologians. Not that I expect it to be some solvent for crazy assholes who just pick and choose their beliefs from the bible, but I am curious.

It's not really a formal hierarchy, but Jesus Himself answers the question of 'what is the most important commandment' rather directly, and I've had some success quoting it against bigots:

Matthew 22:35-40 posted:

35 One of them, an expert in the law, tested him with this question: 36 “Teacher, which is the greatest commandment in the Law?”

37 Jesus replied: “‘Love the Lord your God with all your heart and with all your soul and with all your mind.’[a] 38 This is the first and greatest commandment. 39 And the second is like it: ‘Love your neighbor as yourself.’[b] 40 All the Law and the Prophets hang on these two commandments.”

Mark 12:28-31 posted:

28 One of the teachers of the law came and heard them debating. Noticing that Jesus had given them a good answer, he asked him, “Of all the commandments, which is the most important?”

29 “The most important one,” answered Jesus, “is this: ‘Hear, O Israel: The Lord our God, the Lord is one.[a] 30 Love the Lord your God with all your heart and with all your soul and with all your mind and with all your strength.’[b] 31 The second is this: ‘Love your neighbor as yourself.’[c] There is no commandment greater than these.”

Luke 10:25-28 posted:

25 On one occasion an expert in the law stood up to test Jesus. “Teacher,” he asked, “what must I do to inherit eternal life?”

26 “What is written in the Law?” he replied. “How do you read it?”

27 He answered, “‘Love the Lord your God with all your heart and with all your soul and with all your strength and with all your mind’[a]; and, ‘Love your neighbor as yourself.’[b]”

28 “You have answered correctly,” Jesus replied. “Do this and you will live.”

In my experience that line doesn't really work, because most of the people you'd want to use it on believe that they're personally flawless, so being judged in return is totally fine.

I have to break from tradition here and share a story of smart social media. You know those related links that pop up when you open a Facebook link now? Generally I find myself annoyed by them, but I have to give them credit.

Someone in my feed liked that article that we discussed before (I think in the last version of the thread) about how many perpetrators of mass shootings were on or had been on psychiatric drugs. I was blown away to find this as the top related link. Bravo, Facebook.

It's, like, a thing in the deeper levels of tumblr-gender spaces. It started from people generating their own gender-neutral pronoun sets and devolved into themed sets. It gets really confusing when I see bun reblog conversation with other tumblrites and they all use different pronouns that at first glance just look like a common noun. Here, here's a handy list:

The ironic part is how these lists of bullshit pronouns come across as incredibly demeaning to actual trans* or gender-neutral social issues. What trans* person in their right mind is going to look at that list and think that they aren't being belittled by assholes referring to each other as "booself?"

Yeah, but think of the feelings of the boring cisgendered kids! They have nothing else in their life, so they have to come up with ways to be oppressed!

Plus when the gently caress did my dog need his own pronouns? "Dog" isn't a gender, it is a species.

The problem is that every special snowflake on the internet that thinks they're Truly And Genuinely Unique wants a special pronoun that applies to only them and people they decided to include in their category. It gives them something else to feel oppressed about because, as we all know, the most oppressed group of people are unemployed, 20-something upper middle class white kids with nothing to do all day but talk about how special they are with other special people.

That being said, my pronoun of choice is butt. I demand to forever be called butt/buttes/butteself.
