| 1 | MINDS Part 2: Lyingyou can lose at a zero sum or positive sum game too. Negative sum games are unique in that they hurt all involved. In this particular case, no-one has anything to gain and only reputation to lose, and they don't learn. Therefore, there are no benefits to a negative sum game in this context. I'll explain this in a later post | /r/RPChristians | 28/02/22 07:56 PM |
| 1 | Die by The Sword: God's Law and The Amorality of ViolenceThank you, that clears up a lot. You could argue that this is too fine-grained for my argument here (because in normal discussion people use "force" and "violence" as synonyms), but nonetheless I'll make sure to make these fine-grained distinctions in the future. | /r/RPChristians | 08/12/21 11:43 PM |
| 1 | Die by The Sword: God's Law and The Amorality of ViolenceThat goes more into the details of what justifies use of force, which was kind of outside the scope of my argument as I was just referring to instances where force is justified (by the criteria you mention, for example). It sounds like I just didn't choose my example situations/verses well enough to fit this under that level of technicality. | /r/RPChristians | 08/12/21 11:42 PM |
| 1 | Die by The Sword: God's Law and The Amorality of ViolenceThis seems to be a more fine-grained response than I intended to write. I was talking just about using force in a justified manner; specific differences between self defense and vengeance aren't important to this point. | /r/RPChristians | 08/12/21 03:18 PM |
| 1 | Die by The Sword: God's Law and The Amorality of ViolenceI think the difference is semantics, as when I used the word "violence" I was just referring to physical force; I didn't know that it referred to something more specific. Can you please give a citation for "violence" coming from "violate?" | /r/RPChristians | 08/12/21 03:16 PM |
| 1 | From Darwinian fitness to God's glory- the missing link under our noses the whole timeYeah I think that we need to go into more detail about this rather than being scared and trying to fight the evolutionists at the weakest points (arguing about the age of the Earth, etc...). I would be far more effective if we just argued "well regardless of how much evidence you have for evolution, you haven't told me how it doesn't imply that we all need to be heartless monsters in life. Therefore I'm not going to teach my kids this theory until you at least figure that part out." | /r/RPChristians | 28/11/21 11:54 PM |
| 1 | From Darwinian fitness to God's glory- the missing link under our noses the whole timeCooperation not competition though a banality should be our ethos. I outlined how cooperation is a more sophisticated and godly form of interaction which ultimately makes a group of people more competitive. I am actually agreeing with this point verbatim. It may well turn out that Lamarck was right and Darwin wrong Indeed, current research in epigenetics indicates that acquired traits are very much inherited. https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Epigenetics This is yet more proof that Darwinism as we h… | /r/RPChristians | 28/11/21 11:51 PM |
| 1 | From Darwinian fitness to God's glory- the missing link under our noses the whole timeI never mentioned evolution as a process. Darwinism refers to the fit surviving and the unfit not surviving do to competition for scarcity of resources. This is an immutable rule in the universe. What you are discussing is the evolution of species which I did not mention and is a separate (but related) issue. I only talk about the aspects of survival of the fittest that are inarguable: the ones not opposed by any correct interpretation of Christianity. I don't blame you for this as often we are … | /r/RPChristians | 28/11/21 10:59 PM |
| 1 | From Darwinian fitness to God's glory- the missing link under our noses the whole timeIn my post I address this: the two are not in conflict. Our commonly held notions of Darwinism are naive. If Darwinian fitness only meant that every organism would attack every other one for survival, then the most fit societies are the ones that are the most brutal and selfish. To the contrary, such brutal societies rarely last more than a generation. | /r/RPChristians | 28/11/21 02:18 PM |
| 1 | From Darwinian fitness to God's glory- the missing link under our noses the whole timewell of course history is not monocausal; countries fall for many reasons. I'm trying to emphasize the fact that dehumanizingly strict regimes consistently fail quickly despite what common ideas about survivalism would technically dictate. | /r/RPChristians | 26/11/21 02:08 AM |
