@aeschulman@mudman03@reaganreese_@DailyCaller Precursory reading of the lawsuit seems to think it's too broad, not that a ban on generative AI political ads is unconstitutional.
My understanding is that they are worried the law broadens deep fakes to illegal in all electronic communication.
@ApoloJedi_ Martin Luther said "Women have broad hips and a wide fundament, that they should sit still and keep house, bear and bring up children."
So I guess I'll pass on the opinions of Christians when they start talking about what a woman is.
@ApoloJedi_ Then you have the theological view:
Thomas Aquinas said women are the defective male.
Tertullian called women the devil's gateway.
Augustine thought women were the part of a married mind focused on earthly things: administration, survival and material possessions
@BiblicGrounded Likewise, "murder" is "the wrongful killing of a human". So murder is objectively wrong because wrong is part of that definition.
What makes the killing wrong is the entire debate.
@BiblicGrounded "objective morals" can be established definitionally. When you define "good" as "that which promoted human flourishing", "bad" becomes "that which causes unnecessary suffering"
everything would then fall on a scale between those two extremes. Much like health, there no 1 answer
@JesusSaves1500@TiredOfDaReight "evil" (as defined through biblical laws) is caused, called for and commanded to words/actions attributed to god throughout the Bible.
So either the Bible is inaccurate or god does evil (by his standard)
@ApoloJedi_@TheHumanSpoon You know, maybe he's right. If god doesn't exist, what can be known about him has been made known to me.
We could talk about that first part of v20. How can something invisible be clearly seen? If he meant that we can infer a diety's power and nature from the world, I disagree.
Not sure what he's going on about church and state here for really.
The early church decided on doctrines that make you a "real Christian" all the way back in the 4th century
And Christians have been doing it ever since...
Howerton showing his lack of historical understanding as always.
The correct answer here is that "Christians" decided that it wasn't enough to follow Jesus. They decided that you've got to swallow all of the dogmas and doctrines in order to be a Christian.
Christians have not recently been adept political thinkers. So, 2 things on thisโฆ
1) We should respect Mormons enough to be honest with them that, by their own self-identification, they are โnot creedal Christiansโ (what Mormons THEMSELVES will say, bc they understand they disagree with many/most of the core doctrines of Christianity that are expressed in the earliest creeds)
2) Christians need to develop the ability to understand there are two overlapping but distinct realms: the church and the state (Jesus, 1 Peter, Augustine)
Therefore, there will be some people that are on a DIFFERENT TEAM spiritually (not Christians), but on the SAME TEAM culturally (aligned in almost all political / cultural goals).
If you donโt understand this, you will oppose people you should befriend in the political/cultural realm, and you will befriend people you should differentiate from in the church/spiritual realm.
