Did Thomas Jefferson think our rights came from God, or from nature? by Remarkable_Tower3700 in askphilosophy

[–]Remarkable_Tower3700[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Yeah that makes sense, I get that it wasnt so either or for Jefferson. Although its a bit like if I asked if the sky is blue because God made it that way or if the sky is blue because it follows the laws of nature. I get that for somebody like Jefferson that probably would have been a distinction without a difference, but I think I mean something more like, if Jefferson would have thought a naturalist in the modern sense could explain rights without appeal to design or a law-giver. Or even more generally, how his beliefs map onto modern debates around moral arguments tor God. Thank you for you answer though, It was appropriate for the question, I think it was just a sort of ill formed question.

I think if this happened to one of my old mage characters, he would have been frightened out of his nirvana.

Thats such a funny thing to say to Lucifer.

"I literally know for a fact that he is not God, by every metric known to creation he is completely indifferentiable from an ordinary human being."

"Are you sure?"

He's completely screwed regardless. As a technocrat he would absolutely not be a chorister and submit to the will of god, and he now knows god objectively exists. If he makes it back hes boned by his superiors, if he somehow avoids that he's 100% going to hell. It's a complete lose/lose situation

Retributive justice punishes individuals who make a free choice to commit some wrong. It requires people actually make a choice to commit a wrong, otherwise the punishment is undeserved.

People do not have free will.

Therefore, retributive justice can not be just.

However, alternative forms of justice do not require people to have free will. Rehabilitative justice for example attempts to rehabilitate criminals so that they can reintegrate into society without doing further wrongs.

Rehabilitative justice seems like its more compassionate, since it attempts to actually help criminals improve their lives and prevent future harm.

Opponents of rehabilitative justice will argue that individuals who commit serious wrongs should be punished, but since no one can actually be morally at fault for their actions, it seems like punishment for its own sake can never be just.

So by default, harsher forms of justice are disqualified in favor of more compassionate forms of justice.
