@daltd02@Kjmaloney8@BenjaminSWatson@davidpollack47@luke_mccown@WNBA There’s one considering it and there have been others in swimming, track n field, and volleyball. It’s only a matter of time. To act like this isn’t an issue just because it hasn’t happened yet is peak head-in-the-sand mentality. How many does it takebefore action is required?
@ThereseCas57889@ShawnRyan762 And just like mega churches, there are some community churches that are good, and some that are terrible. Part of the reason that people left community churches is because they were not good churches.
@celiacdisEATS@lukedsimmons@danwhitejr That’s the risk of any interaction with contrary ideas. There’s no safeguard against the free exchange of ideas and the attitudes attached to them. “Safe” feels like a smokescreen. It comes across as fragile. I’m really not trying to bash. Just being honest.
@JarranSainsbury God did not ask for Mary’s consent. God told Mary she would have a child and she rejoiced and considered it a blessing. Christians are correct to point out Talaroco’s error.
@MattMoscona Should we? Coaches are employed by the school. Student athletes are not. I get your point, but Coaches and players are under different circumstances.
@brandonedwards@ConceptualJames Thanks. I’ll check those out. I appreciate your patient tone on this platform. It’s rare. I look forward to following you. Grace and peace.
@guardenista@abbythelibb_@alisa_childers@conservmillen Except she didn’t say the faculty is toxic. The faculty deeply influences decision making. The book could’ve been titled “How Empathy can be used as an excuse to make toxic decisions for people who lack discernment”, but “Toxic Empathy” was shorter.
@Missa_Beet@alisa_childers@conservmillen You’re “technically” correct, but most people don’t make decisions like they’re working out a math problem. Their own empathetic notions influence their choices deeply. I would say they’re part of the decision making process.
@Missa_Beet@alisa_childers@conservmillen This is myopic. The way you think and feel about things is inexorably integrated into your decision making process. It is deeply linked to causation.
@guardenista@abbythelibb_@alisa_childers@conservmillen We do use hammer to describe brutal, destructive strength. We say things like “He got hammered” when someone gets super drunk, or when someone gets hit hard. We recognize that hammers can be destructive. This willful denial that empathy can be destructive is narrow literalism.
