"For the entire Law is fulfilled in in this one word: "You shall love your neighbor as yourself."—Gal 5:14

Trivial pursuit.

Added on by Lucas Necessary.

Ever seen Christians argue over strangely trivial items while the world burns? Like perhaps whether or not having multiple song leaders is sinful, completely failing to unite on the fact that "there is one body and one Spirit, just as also you were called in one hope of your calling; one Lord, one faith, one baptism, one God and Father of all who is over all and through all and in all?" (Eph 4)

This is a standard flaw that Satan exploits, so don't be shocked by it, but do be aware. Parkinson's law of triviality, also known as the bike-shed effect, is C. Northcote Parkinson's 1957 argument that organisations give disproportionate weight to trivial issues.

Parkinson observed and illustrated that a committee whose job was to approve plans for a nuclear power plant spent the majority of its time on discussions about relatively trivial and unimportant but easy-to-grasp issues, such as what materials to use for the staff bike-shed, while neglecting the non-trivial proposed design of the nuclear power plant itself, which is far more important but also a far more difficult and complex task to criticize constructively.

One Lord, one faith, one baptism. That's a good place to start on getting away from triviality.
