@r_brauns@saintsoftness One way is actively trying to imitate a wide variety of writers, Not as an end in itself, but as a way of picking up a wide-array of literary tools that will go on to make your own style. This craft-book lists out a lot of exercises for it: https://t.co/AgyVUXYmNN
@ErsatzDoctor@SpeedWatkins Even if god couldn’t have been otherwise, on what basis do we judge that it is preferable that God necessarily ended up loving, merciful, etc? Because god says so?
God doesn’t need reasons to be how he is; we need reasons to think how he is is a basis for morality.
@Jeremy_E_Walker@SpeedWatkins Why is it preferable that god is loving rather than unloving? Is it because God commands us to be loving rather than unloving?
if God’s nature were unloving, you’d have to say that it’s preferable for God to be unloving
@Jeremy_E_Walker@SpeedWatkins Is water morally better for being wet? Would water be better if it gave us immortality when we drink it? You have gone for “is-statements” and forgotten we are talking about “ought”. Why “ought” god be the way he is?
