BenChampagne (benchampagne@nicecrew.digital)'s status on Wednesday, 21-Jun-2023 03:06:12 JST BenChampagne BMI calcs are kind of shit. 6ft 185 lbs is considered overweight. -
BenChampagne (benchampagne@nicecrew.digital)'s status on Friday, 16-Jun-2023 12:05:00 JST BenChampagne If by true free will you mean ability to do anything, then of course we don't have that. We are bound in a great many ways. We could be bound in infinite ways minus one and the one would be enough to give us will. Down this rabbit hole lies an understanding of a certain type of presentism that reveals how God can both give us will and know everything. There is no future, in short (but I can elaborate if desired). Also qualitivity needs to be properly understood. Jeff, again, would struggle here, as he contended that all of reality can be distilled to quantitivity (mathematics! and maybe some Dawkins crystals?), which is knowable to not be the case.
As far as an experiment, that's beyond the scope into the mysterious yet again, though an experiment belies outside purpose, and it would be difficult to surmise what possibility of purpose would obtain for an ontologic fundamental in pursuing one... -
BenChampagne (benchampagne@nicecrew.digital)'s status on Friday, 16-Jun-2023 12:04:59 JST BenChampagne Possible about the damned (and likely true), but, as I said earlier, it's not the conduct, but the effort; that was Christ's promise. God isn't going to hold a lack of ability against someone, or errors in their doctrinal thesis beyond their ability to understand. I've often said that the intellectual path to Christ is the loneliest. There are a lot of Christians that will simply never be able to plumb the depths of theology (and so the intellectuals are in short supply of company for want to avoid the overabundance of relegating such depths to 'the mysterious'), but if God, then God made the conditions for such limitations. Ignorance is bliss, to an extent.
Parallel to the point about the damned, if they wanted to live their temporal lives apart, why would they want to have an eternity of that which they didn't choose? I am one of few I suppose who doesn't think eternal damnation exists, maybe there is punishment for grievous sin and then annihilation or just annihilation. I don't see the purpose for the eternal part of damnation logically, mathematically (if you properly understand Pascal's wager), or otherwise.
Maybe I was trying to hard to be clever in my last post, so I will rephrase so far as reality being an experiment goes; What possible need or purpose could God (an ontologic fundamental) have to perform such an experiment. If there was outside purpose, then it isn't God we are talking about. (You could get into simulation theories here, which would be quite a tangent, but valid on the premise that reality was made by intermediary and that which we call God is simply that intermediary and the 'real God' is more fundamental and therefore the intermediary had purpose to perform such an experiment, but it doesn't actually change the 'math' enough to make a difference contrary to what some simulation theorists would suggest.)
As far as incomprehensible, I don't think that at all. I can say with 100% confidence that God (ontologic fundamental) exists because there are definitive proofs (differentiability into fundamental regression) that He does, the only alternatives are illogical denial or taking no stance on anything in an equally illogical, solipsistic quagmire (a sad existence). And from those proofs one can start to build out the 'characteristics' of that ontologic fundamental (another deep and large topic on simpliciters could be inserted here). Christ requires a little more 'faith' because of the nature of history, but demands far less on knowledge as requisite. -
BenChampagne (benchampagne@nicecrew.digital)'s status on Friday, 16-Jun-2023 11:30:27 JST BenChampagne You can know now. Don't listen to the ontology poor trying to conflate mathematics with reality proper. You can apply quantitation to many things, but not all, such as sensory perception itself, differentiability, forms per se, thought itself, etc.
The reality is, there are only two choices, engage in a solipsistic illogical narrative by necessity (ironic) because retardation, or God (ontologic fundamental). That's it. -
BenChampagne (benchampagne@nicecrew.digital)'s status on Friday, 16-Jun-2023 11:29:14 JST BenChampagne Evil is not his opposite. He set the conditions of reality. He 'decided' what is good and whether it be outright, opposite, or privation, He set the conditions for which we perform evil.
You'll find lots of midwit or worse Christians trying to defend the notion that God is 'goodness himself' or some such, mainly because the Bible narratively promotes it and they conflate the Bible with the Word of God. But all it (God is goodness Himself) is is narrative, as many Christians, sadly, are ontology poors just as much as little 'I get everything wrong' Jeff here. -
BenChampagne (benchampagne@nicecrew.digital)'s status on Friday, 16-Jun-2023 11:27:38 JST BenChampagne I already told you this. Look one or two posts back when you first asked. The very first thing I said was "God." So yes, it 'springs' from God, it necessarily must as He is the ontologic fundamental (everything must spring from Him logically).
If you want to go deeper into it, I gladly will, but to summarize, God created the conditions of morality (necessarily if God exists as that which is the creator of all subsistent things). This is why some go into privations; God didn't create in the first order 'evil' itself, He created the conditions of reality, part of which is lesser beings of will which can go against the ordering He created (and wants, but not wills, if you will, for us to follow). You could call that ordering arbitrary in the strict logical sense, but you could never validate that as again it would be another blind hypothetical for which we have no frame available to consider (which has been coined 'mystery' in the proper sense but the term is often used foolishly for non-mysterious things). But going infinitely down that 'why' path into the mysterious is also a 'What if?', not a 'What is?' and is irrelevant ontologically (or at least it is once you understand the certainty you can hold of an ontologic fundamental).
A lot of people get hung up on 'evil' for one of two main reasons: emotion and difficulty with multivariate logical regressions. On the former, it isn't a problem of logic and I am not really the guy to help you. On the latter, it is often difficult to think of terms properly merely as amorphous concepts which we try to bound well enough. Evil doesn't make reasoned sense without Will (nor Will without Evil or at least wrongness), neither of which can be reasoned without God and the contingent supra-conditions of reality (physical nature etc.) because there would be nothing for us to will within and therefore no evil would exist. Take God out of it and just try to reason out evil itself to some fundamental. Most people end up at nihilism (even though it is logically barren) and conclude a relative moralism, but they don't have to because you can be certain that God (as ontologic fundamental) exists.
So yes, God 'created evil' insofar as it is a possible path for lesser beings of will. This only gets more difficult when you start to consider epistemological concerns in that logical regression (But Christ made it very simple, it's not the conduct, but the effort). -
BenChampagne (benchampagne@nicecrew.digital)'s status on Friday, 16-Jun-2023 11:27:19 JST BenChampagne More of that fag speak. You can be 100% certain that God exists. You are just a dumbass that can't parse ontology. -
BenChampagne (benchampagne@nicecrew.digital)'s status on Friday, 16-Jun-2023 11:27:17 JST BenChampagne God. That is the simple answer. You can listen/read a lot on thoughts about privation, but it is largely irrelevant fundamentally. God (ontologic fundamental) once properly known to exist, clearly created a situation in which evil could exist. Combined with our will, there 'had to be' some sort of privation/evil/choice at work (I quote 'had to be' because it is illogical to go down the path of blind hypothetical in ontology). I think an equally valid question is 'why not evil?'. Why evil presupposes there is some duty otherwise. Hard case to make, none have successfully to my knowledge. -
BenChampagne (benchampagne@nicecrew.digital)'s status on Wednesday, 07-Jun-2023 17:55:18 JST BenChampagne I would consider finding a high exposed beam, a rope, and learn to tie a proper not if I were you. -
BenChampagne (benchampagne@nicecrew.digital)'s status on Thursday, 01-Jun-2023 09:27:31 JST BenChampagne You don't speak for God, faggot. You are a Christ-hating degenerate. Submission to your desires is unforgiveable sin.
No one's buying your pseudochristian bullshit. Repent (for the first time). -
BenChampagne (benchampagne@nicecrew.digital)'s status on Monday, 06-Mar-2023 08:52:15 JST BenChampagne Is this supposed to be an own? Did the reich do everything right? Hitler didn't even try to genocide the jews. I expect better from the next fuhrer. -
BenChampagne (benchampagne@nicecrew.digital)'s status on Monday, 06-Mar-2023 08:52:03 JST BenChampagne Yes. All moral people are. -
BenChampagne (benchampagne@nicecrew.digital)'s status on Monday, 06-Mar-2023 08:52:01 JST BenChampagne Passes for wit in your circles. Tragic. -
BenChampagne (benchampagne@nicecrew.digital)'s status on Saturday, 04-Mar-2023 13:42:55 JST BenChampagne No. This is very Christian. Deus Vult. -
BenChampagne (benchampagne@nicecrew.digital)'s status on Saturday, 04-Mar-2023 13:42:54 JST BenChampagne When necessary, he didn't shy from it. Wherever he encountered open faggotry, he became violent. Learn your Bible and repent. -
BenChampagne (benchampagne@nicecrew.digital)'s status on Saturday, 04-Mar-2023 13:42:52 JST BenChampagne Sounds like that open faggotry we talked about. Jesus is coming.
