isn't it crazy an all powerful being would abuse a person to teach them some vague lesson? like truly if you think about it objectively how is that different from the Mike Vick dog fighting scandal
I may imagin Job being as class with core attributes, integrity and commitment, and the variable attributes like wife, wealth, family etc.
You can have billions of different instances of Job and the variable attributes may change over time. If integrity and commitment are unphased by that, the instance of Job is reliable.
It is Jobs choice to be reliable, no matter his attributes.
Mistreating dogs changes their core attributes and makes them less reliable. They might be rehabilitated, but this crucial part is not their choice.
This is how I would see the difference. What do you think?
i see the human and the dog as classes that inherit from the same base class with slightly different attributes such as computational power, healing, running speed etc
isnt your comment like saying abuse a dog if its reliable no matter the attributes it is a good dog? abusing people also changes their core attributes which is what trauma is and by this logic poofy guy in the sky is an abuser or a slaver
how do people reconcile that? the christians that raised me used to beat me into believeing wondering if HN has a more philosophical take
