I am a woman of various inclinations and only some of the time are they to burn everything down in frustration
Far out.

Sean K stole my joke.
This does not diminish my love for Allyson.
I hear she's writing a book. It's not published yet, but it's MADE OF AWESOME.

It was kind of a foolish scene, because I don't know anybody with any religious education who can't recite the beginning at least of most of the famous phrases;
I was chatting with a friend who argued that you can look at the commandments as just good practical advice. You'll probably be happier if you aren't coveting, and so on. I said, well except for the first one. He looked at me blankly for a while, and finally had to ask what the first commandment was.
He was a minister's son. So it happens.

Now tagless for your comfort.
Sadly, this passage doesn't stop the ignorant from statements like "Kill 'em all and let god sort them out." Sometimes, being able to quote scripture is a real pain, because it makes clear how little some "believers" actually know and have thought through their foundational documents.
I'm reading Misquoting Jesus and the book is fascinating and informative and wonderful.
Allyson's caustic sense of humor is as deadly as ita's pinky.

"Mister Spock is on his fanny, sir. Reports heavy damage."
He looked at me blankly for a while, and finally had to ask what the first commandment was.
Uuuuuggggghh. So you're saying that little bit of my memory (quite unnecessary to me personally) is why I can't ever remember where I left my keys?? I don't just know one version of that line; I know three!

It's five thousand for kissing, ten thousand for snuggling... End of list.
Well, no one says you have to know the commandments in order; I don't even know all the Bill of Rights.

Well not canonically, no, but this is transformative fiction.

I do. Otherwise "fifth commandment" is meaningless shorthand. And lord knows, people do use that shorthand.

Unusually and exceedingly peculiar and altogether quite impossible to describe
I don't even know all the Bill of Rights.
We have the right to P-A-R-T-Y!!! (I know that because we had to fight, for our right, to P-A-R-T-Y!!!)
