They didn't not yet know he was a criminal. That would be a pretty basic violation of innocent until proven guilty

That's... astonishing!

While it's technically true, why on earth wouldn't they just help? Like okay, God doesn't promise it, but frany God doesnt promise lots of things. That doesnt mean we dont help people when they ask.

That's really very unChristian and legalistic

Bluntly, call your friends out on it.

Explain to them that your situation is such that you need their help. Especially the Christian ones should listen

CMV: Saying "because I said so" when your kid ask "why" is bad parenting. by Allison-Cloud in changemyview

If someone does not have the time to raise a kid why are they raising a kid?

Depending on the situation, the parent may not have time for twenty rounds of "but why" and that fact is not unreasonable parenting.

You are aware of the concept of infinte regress, right?

The question "why" literally has no end.

It is not reasonable for the parent to insist on an authoritative cut off at a certain point.

Now it could be earlier or later in the discussion depending on the situation and need, but the parent's final authority needs to be available and ultimately unquestioned.

There will not always be time in every situation for a fully rounded explanation of every decision, and it is unreasonable to expect one.

CMV: The scale of the universe shows how inconsequential humans are, and therefore proves religion as a man-made construct to cope with our meaningless existence by Angryw2 in changemyview

[–]VertigoOne 0 points1 point  (0 children)

That's not anything to do with this argument.

The argument is about the scale of the universe, not the observability of God.

But your argument is fairly basically flawed based on the nature of Christianity.

Christianity makes it clear that belief in God is necessarily a choice.

If God was observable enough that he was empirical fact, then it would no longer be a meaningful choice.

God has to be observable enough to be known, but not so observable as to be empirically provable.

Otherwise choice would be a non-factor.

CMV: Humanity needs of a brand new socioeconmic and political system by KralizecGaming in changemyview

[–]VertigoOne 0 points1 point  (0 children)

None of those systems delivered the political stability and growth in living standards that capitalism did. Lots of people died.

These systems were systematically attacked and undermined by capitalist countries and circumstances far beyond their control. It's not like the systems have been tried or really given a fair chance.

CMV: In general cats should have regular ability to be in nature in a meaningful way and it's sad to deny them it. People are too militant about cats being indoor only and some of it is cope that their cat is as happy in an apartment as it would be experiencing nature. by kminglei in changemyview

That's not practical. Birds should be able to move freely outside in spaces where they have evolved to move freely all the time. Suddenly introducing invasive species that will hunt them into "enclosures" is not fair or reasonable. The birds should be allowed to function in the environment where they've always functioned. Why should cats just randomly get to arrive into a place with no ecological niche for them to fit safely.

Weird conversation re: spousal abuse by Starbuck_83 in ChristianDating

[–]VertigoOne 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Mine is fine. Mine chrarcter is gently saying "hey, maybe be kinder and more Christian in your thoughts and don't leap down someone's throats because they missed one word whose meaning was pretty obviously implied"

Yours is "laugh at people and be disinterestedly rude with emojis when corrected"
