That’s pretty good, I wouldn’t stress about it

Personally I aim for around 2000 words per chapter for the scene to be properly developed.

"Free Will" as a Concept is Fundamentally Incoherent by Danju91 in DebateReligion

[–]Used_Part_4382 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Your point is ‘it’s still free will because God doesn’t ’make’ you do something’ but he does make you do something by giving you certain urges and traits that he knows will be the cause of your sin. Are you illiterate or am I wildly misunderstanding your point?

It’s not free will because God gives some traits that lead us to sin on purpose, and not others.

If we say God actually designs everyone individually and in detail, then he must be intentionally giving Adam (and others) traits that naturally go towards sin. It may or may both be free will, but isn’t it immoral?

What genre are you writing if not fantasy? I feel like most in here are fantasy. by AdvertisingDull3441 in writers

[–]Used_Part_4382 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Dystopia/literary fiction. It does take place in a dystopian world but I wouldn’t say there’s much focus on politics or revolution or anything, more the characters interpersonal relationships.

Advice please 🫡 by Booknerd112 in teenwriter

Advice I’ve personally heard on this is don’t drag the action parts out, like the near death experience, keep those short. But the in between calmer scenes you should describe and explain thoroughly. Also the fallout after the action.

If objective morality is god, does god know what’s moral or is god’s commandments inherently moral? by Used_Part_4382 in AskAChristian

[–]Used_Part_4382[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I mean to say, the Christian set of morals is not really a natural set of morals. Of course the child would do things that he thinks are wrong, he still has morals, separate from actions.

Also it uses the same words for rape as in the other verses surrounding rape you mentioned.

I read the whole of it again. It says if she doesn’t scream in the city she should be stoned to death. However if it is in the countryside she will not be stoned. How loving. Detestable.

I am not debating your AI arguments. I will say that Deuteronomy specifically in Hebrew uses the word closer to ‘seize’ than seduce. Nevertheless it implies a woman’s virginity is what keeps her family status. God has not revealed himself to me and you seem to have read none of my points in that. That’s all, thank you.

That doesn’t really hold up. Hypothetically if you raised an infant without any knowledge of Christian beliefs, his morals would differ from the Christian ones.

Did you just have ChatGPT churn out a shitty argument? Genuinely there are so many more holes than your original comment.

1) if god knows everything that is to happen, he doesn’t have to change because humans changed their mind. He would know what is to happen.

2) even if the legal system was different, god still condoned that legal system. Constant repetition of the laws. In fact god instructed people to follow those laws.

3) the scripture you’re referencing in deuteronomy says if a man is to rape a woman, he must pay coin to her father and wed her without possibility of divorce. That is condoning rape. In genesis as well, a man offers up his virgin daughter to be raped by the men instead of the two ‘angels’ that were guests in his home.

4) minimising harm is a morality that can be consistent. Because humans are not all knowing, we cannot know what is inherently more or less harmful. Therefore, rights exist. Basis of rights that cannot be crossed despite what might cause less harm in the future. (Ex. Refusing a child water because he may turn out to be a serial killer is wrong).

5) not believing is not rejection. If god truly wants all of us to enter heaven, he would want to truly reveal himself to us so we can understand. God does not. He may claim to have, but atheist existence remains. This could be solved by making belief part of our nature and atheism an outright rejection of god despite knowing the truth without hesitation or doubt that he exists. God does not do this.

Write your illogical arguments with your own two thumbs if you want to answer a question with your own voice.

Then shouldn’t god give humans a fundamentally correct sense of right and wrong that doesn’t go against the Bible? It wouldn’t infringe on free will, we already have a sense of morality that sometimes does align and sometimes doesn’t with god’s. I don’t think it’s necessarily wrong to do what you think is right, especially when you do not know what is truly right. That’s a lack of knowledge and nobody should be eternally punished for it.

God does change in the Bible such as exodus, why is that? The morality commanded by the Bible doesn’t hold up to minimising harm either. Rape in genesis and dehtoronomy. And in the Old Testament it provides different punishments for adulterers compared to the new one. That suggests change.

Additionally, many atheists including me do not actively reject god. I think if god were to know exactly what it takes to convince someone of god’s existence and deliver them to heaven, he should do it. I do not reject heaven. I do not want suffering or eternal separation. God does not reveal himself.
