@MajickShadow @SawtelleAn5682 Ok. I’ll have to look into this so I won’t comment on it right now .

@BXMMA @SawtelleAn5682 I'm not sure I can necessarily call myself a Calvinist because I also incorporate eastern philosophy such as Wu Wei.

Says the moral relativist.

@MajickShadow @SawtelleAn5682 So a Calvinist?

@BXMMA @SawtelleAn5682 Sure. Monitheistic determinism. One God. Divine creation and universal genesis. Familiar with the watchmaker? Everything set in motion. All is as it should be. Nothing I do, or you do, or anybody does is anything other than what God Himself set into motion.

@MajickShadow @SawtelleAn5682 Yeah don’t care. Write

@BXMMA @SawtelleAn5682 I think you misunderstand. I use AI to save time in writing.

@MajickShadow @SawtelleAn5682 Deterministic Christian define that? Without using AI please

@BXMMA @SawtelleAn5682 It's not convincing. I'm doing no such thing. That would require persuasion, which isn't what I'm using. Neither am I asserting any of those arbitrary value metrics. The simple fact of the matter is that I'm actually a deterministic Christian, and my moral grounding is founded.

@MajickShadow @SawtelleAn5682 Bro either talk to me without your dumb AI or I’ll block you.

@BXMMA @SawtelleAn5682 Indeed. They are subjective. And rather, they are subjects.

The fact that you had to check in with an AI tells me more about your position than it does mine. My worldview is Biblical based worldview based on Gods nature and revelation. That’s my ultimate authority. Your is your so called autonomous reasoning which you can’t even justify given your own paradigm. What is reasoning? Is it like farting? Just a reaction of chemicals? You believe your a product of mindless processes than happen in the not so distant past that didn’t have you or I in mind. Yet here you are trying to convince me you have logic,reason,dignity and human autonomy on your side.

@BXMMA @SawtelleAn5682 But you do, and you understand what I just said. So, for the sake of moving the conversation forward...

@MajickShadow @SawtelleAn5682 Yeah you sound unhinged when you speak like that and no one will take you seriously

@BXMMA @SawtelleAn5682 I do. My own. In the absence of knowledge or understanding of personal ethos governing morality, I project my own onto the field for enforcement. Effectively, I'm the God, my word is law, and grace exists upon revelation.

@MajickShadow @SawtelleAn5682 So then you have no leg to stand on when it comes to making moral claims about behavior that contradict your own arbitrary position.

@BXMMA @SawtelleAn5682 I can't justify anything for you. My justification for my own behavior is simple. I'm selectively preferential to my own ethos. I hold myself accountable to my own standards. To each their own. Without knowledge of standards there can be no justification or accountability.

@MajickShadow @SawtelleAn5682 Yea that’s MY justification. Whats yours?

@BXMMA @SawtelleAn5682 I haven't justified it. But according to your definition, it's mandated by God that you not deviate from His law, therefore, you ought not harm by His command.

@SawtelleAn5682 @MajickShadow What do you mean by “better” why are you assuming some kind of standard you haven’t substantiated yet?

What's gods law? Cause slavery is one law god supports with its instructions. god's law states one can sell their daughter into slavery. There also isn't any law concerning rape, as women in the Bible seem to be treated as chattel. So you're gonna have to come up with something better than that. If you want to say that was not god but just the culture at the time, then you have to say: 1- your morality is relative, and 2- god is constrained in its powers and goodness.

@MajickShadow @SawtelleAn5682 Yeah again that’s circular. Where’s the justification for why I ought not harm?

@BXMMA @SawtelleAn5682 It's both. I've claimed and stated and supported both. The consensus is avoiding harm. Period. Harm is subjective. Period. The consensus of avoiding harm is based on the subjective understanding and projection of that understanding onto others. Parallelogram. Rhombus. Rectangle.

@MajickShadow @SawtelleAn5682 No you’re not consistent. You appeal to consensus but then say it’s just your opinion. Which one is it?

@BXMMA @SawtelleAn5682 You're being intentionally daft

@MajickShadow @SawtelleAn5682 My version is whatever violates Gods law. Now tell me why your subjective arbitrary definition is better than mines.

@BXMMA @SawtelleAn5682 I told you my version. Your turn

@MajickShadow @SawtelleAn5682 Ok so your version is consensus correct?

@MajickShadow @SawtelleAn5682 What’s harm?

@MajickShadow @SawtelleAn5682 No I’m showing you the inconsistency of your view. You said in your view is bad but earlier appealed to the consensus. So which one is it?

@BXMMA @SawtelleAn5682 You're just proving my point for me again

@MajickShadow @SawtelleAn5682 Yea who cares?

@BXMMA @SawtelleAn5682 It's bad, by my own judgment, for whomever is impacted by said harm.

@Alexxandermedei No lol

@BXMMA Worse than Mamdani?

Curtis Sliwa is fired up and he is NOT backing down. He says it's a statistical tie and he has a pathway to victory in New York City. The radical left thought they could scare him off but they thought wrong. New York deserves a fighter and Sliwa is proving he is exactly that.
