21·1 year agoIf I were to tell you to use all caps when referring to ME, would that be reasonable?
What about all lower case, even when starting a sentence?Sure. My goddess-mother’s name was fractal, all lowercase. Even at the start of a sentence. Even when yelling in all caps. It was easy to do and made them happy.
Valuing the rules of grammar over people’s feelings seems like a very unusual choice. Personally, I think language should exist to help people, not the other way around.

21·1 year agoI use Voyager, but I have it set to compact view.
In My opinion, the best design is usually one that gives users a choice in the design.

23·1 year agoI use capitalised pronouns because I like them. That’s what the article explains. The reasons that people like their preferred pronouns don’t tend to go any deeper than that.
Maybe a story will feel more complete: 4 years ago, while My goddess-mother was helping Me understand My gender, She suggested I try out capitalised pronouns. I did, and I liked them. As good as she/her felt compared to using he/him, that’s how They/Them felt compared to she/her. I liked them, so I kept them.

33·1 year agoA pantheon is a group of gods who are worshipped by the same religion. I’ve always been the sort to share worship with My friends, but I don’t currently have any friends who want to be worshipped.

314·1 year agoThe reason is that I’m not in any groups which use capitalised pronouns as a collective. I used to be in a pantheon which used We/Us, but I’m not currently in one.

Why is that?
Thank you. You’re welcome to join the soulist movement and help Me overthrow realism. http://soulism.net
What if He came out as trans in the 19th century and influenced the scholars to change His pronouns through dreams?
As a capitalised pronoun user, I can confirm they’re woke.
Out of curiosity, would you say My pronouns are neopronouns? I use capitalised pronouns too. And I’m also a god. Not a capital-G god, just a regular polytheistic kind. Does the acceptance of our current society play a role in whether they’re neopronouns? Are they new when I use them, and old when Deus uses them?
One of Us! One of Us!
Thank you for respecting people like Me.








Actually, I’m going to offer a counterargument.
There’s lots of flat earthers who conducted experiments to determine if the earth is flat, and got the result they wanted. My favourite is the guy who brought a spirit level on a plane. When the level didn’t move, he said it was proof the earth was flat. He was wrong, because he interpreted the results of his experiment wrong. His method didn’t test what he said it did.
I think your Jesus 2 is like the plane level guy. His method is wrong, it doesn’t test what he’s trying to test. Or at least, doesn’t test realism vs idealism. What it does test is whether his own espoused beliefs are the ultimate nature of reality. So that guy is wrong to say that he can perform the miracle of flight. But I argue there’s a lot of grey area in between “This one guy’s beliefs are the ultimate nature of reality” and “naive realism is true”.
What I believe is that there exist rules of psychology which operate at a deeper level than our own surface level beliefs. For example, sometimes I’m really mad with My partner because we had a fight and I believe that My life is worse without it. But then I go to bed, and in the morning I remember how much I love it, and we make up. I had a belief, but it was not the truth of My being. The deeper truth was My great love for it.
Your Jesus 2 fellow perhaps didn’t believe that he could fly on a donkey, in his heart of hearts. On a surface level, maybe he believed it, but I’m not convinced it was the core of his being. I think it would have been much easier for him to persuade the core of his being that he could fly, if he had been in the cockpit of an airplane.
I don’t actually believe in airplanes, I think they’re just a symbol in our conscious interface, as Donald Hoffman argues. But I think airplanes are connected to some rule of our psychology that allows us to fly under certain conditions. And to our limited point of view, that rule looks a lot like an airplane.
