Is there a God? What can neuroscience tell us about consciousness and perception? Are we morally responsible in spite of determinism? All these questions will be answered on the new Naturalism Next substack! Please subscribe and spread the word

Just so we’re all clear
Killing lobsters cuz I’m hungry: bad, don’t do it
Aborting babies cuz I don’t want responsibility: totally fine

Lobsters do feel pain, research shows - scientists are calling for a legal ban on boiling them trib.al/YwaPehL

@WoosterJeeves2 @SpeedWatkins The difference is that the idea behind OP’s argument is that it’s problematic because we lack moral responsibility. In the other case we have it, so the way one argued for the problem looks different to me
English

@NaturalismPanth @SpeedWatkins idk i think its quite closely related. it is still showing ~C through similar questions "why did god make us with desires that would lead to us going to hell" is the same as "why did god endow us with a character that would lead to us going to hell"
English

My latest brief on why a perfectly good God could not justly withhold salvation. This reasoning, if sound, rebuts any objection that justice demands God withhold salvation from some because of the choices they have made.

Benjamin Blake Speed Watkins 🇺🇸🇺🇦🏳️🌈🏳️⚧️@SpeedWatkins
If God is perfectly good, He would desire to save everyone. If He is all-powerful, He would be able to do so. If both are true, everyone would be saved. Since not everyone is saved, either God lacks power, lacks goodness, or does not exist. Choose wisely.

This is a myth.
Doing science requires blind faith in 15-30 totally unproven assumptions.
Why is it that people who say they love science know basically nothing about it?

@WoosterJeeves2 @SpeedWatkins I think you could say that but it'd be a different kind of argument (why did got create people who'd have the sort of desires that would lead them to hell)
English

@NaturalismPanth @SpeedWatkins idt even thats right. bc even on compatibilism your choices are in some sense determined so we can ask why god didnt set up the beginning differently. even if im free in the sense that im acting on my desires, on theism god determined those desires and couldve given me other ones

@waldenpod If the majority say that majority opinions aren’t evidentially significant that would create a cool paradox

@ShaambaBaashdi @waldenpod I'm very pro meditation, super good practice - unfortunate that Harris is essentially braindead outside of a scant few issues
English

@NaturalismPanth @waldenpod I actually like Sam Harris for his meditations. 🥺

@Covenant_Eagle @waldenpod ur talking to a guy who is unbelievably charitable towards mormonism
English

@waldenpod You guys make videos that say mormonism is dumb, and laugh. Then when they make a video abkut yall, yall freak out and complain. Typical silly behavior.

@TheosophicalW @analyticatheism Not sure it does for a few complex reasons but I don't think it matters to this discussion so let's just say yes - see what I said below
English

@NaturalismPanth @analyticatheism Right. But doesn’t FT imply the chemistry conditions which are a necessary condition for E?
English

@TheosophicalW @analyticatheism analogy: if bob will be at the party, he will be drunk. If Alice will, she may or may not be. Observing someone drunk = clearly evidence for Bob over Alice, even if there's other evidence that Alice was way more likely to be at the party
English

@TheosophicalW @analyticatheism not that it matters, because if FT did imply E only on N but not T, then observing E would clearly be evidence for N over T, even if FT is more likely on T than N
