Re: Re-Good and Bad
It could be better said, "If there is no God with punishment for not being good, "Why bother"?
​
Only by sociopaths.
​
Lets get on with Darwins theory of survival of the fittist, meanest, badest person, or groups of people on earth. Come to think of it, that seems to be exactly what we are doing.
​
Another great example of both the Christian Cult of Ignorance as well as the dishonesty of the Christian Cult of Ignorance.
​
What you posted is a total misrepresentation of either Darwin's theory or of the Theory of Evolution. In fact the mischaracterization is so extreme an example that one must wonder if it was simply through ignorance or intentional falsehood.
​
The Theory of Evolution says that those best adjusted to an environment will go one to breed and evolve.
​
Then you continue by introducing some irrelevant death statistics which have ABSOLUTELY nothing to do with behavior, good or bad.

Re: Re-Good and Bad
I don't know about you but I think murder is bad.
I also think war is bad.
I think people starving to death is bad.
I think taking the life of 87 fetus per minute is bad.
​
Somebody eithr does these things or causes them to happen.
​
jar is that good, bad or irrelevant?
​
More misrepresentation from the Christian Cult of Ignorance.
​
War is usually good and bad and almost always unfortunate. Over history it has also been a primary Christian endeavor.
​
Murder is bad.
​
People starving is bad.
​
Abortion is unfortunate.
​
BUT:
​
1.78 DEATHS PER SECOND
107 DEATHS PER MINUTE
6,390 DEATHS PER HOUR
153,000 DEATHS PER DAY
56.0 MILLION DEATHS PER YEAR
3.9 BILLION DEATHS PER AVERAGE LIFETIME (70 YEARS)
​
is totally unrelated to any of the above. It is the classic Christian Cult of Ignorance tactic of trying to misdirect the pigeons attention while palming the pea.
​
It is also TOTALLY unrelated to the topic, to the matter of faith or why it is right to do good to others or to what I posted in Message 57 where I pointed out

Because there is no answer?
One thing that has already come from Game Theory is that there is no answer. Instead, it usually depends on the situation and in particular the knowledge of other participants as to which strategy or strategies works best. Often the answer is "how to change the rules of the game so that it is no longer a zero sum game."
