Rules for Posting Guides on Our Community

1. Defining a Guide Guides are comprehensive reference materials, how-tos, or comparison tables. A guide must be well-organized both in content and layout. Information should be easily accessible without unnecessary navigation. Guides can include flowcharts, step-by-step instructions, or visual references that compare different elements side by side.

2. Infographic Guidelines Infographics are permitted if they are educational and informative. They should aim to convey complex information visually and clearly. However, infographics that primarily serve as visual essays without structured guidance will be subject to removal.

3. Grey Area Moderators may use discretion when deciding to remove posts. If in doubt, message us or use downvotes for content you find inappropriate.

4. Source Attribution If you know the original source of a guide, share it in the comments to credit the creators.

5. Diverse Content To keep our community engaging, avoid saturating the feed with similar topics. Excessive posts on a single topic may be moderated to maintain diversity.

6. Verify in Comments Always check the comments for additional insights or corrections. Moderators rely on community expertise for accuracy.

Is there actually "free will" without evil?

[–] moriquende@lemmy.world 15 points 6 months ago (2 children)

why not? you can choose to eat a banana or an apple, both perfectly non evil

I will die on a hill that says a banana is more good than an apple.

Making the apple relatively more evil on the scale from good to evil.

Others may prefer an apple. But I guess that is their free will to choose so 😉

I mean there was that whole 'garden of eden' thing with the apples...

But bananas are also kind of dangerous

[–] BreathingUnderWater@lemmy.ca 1 points 6 months ago (1 children)

Wasn't the forbidden fruit in the garden of eden originally a fig or date or olive or something? It was changed to apple in the later translations. Something like that .

I thought it was a pomegranate

[–] flicker@lemmy.world 4 points 6 months ago

I'm allergic to bananas. But I'm pretty wicked so this tracks.

The free will is more about choosing to follow god or not. So if everything god does is good and everything they want you to do is good, you have no choice but to do those things. So you live in a perfect world but are a puppet.

An all-powerful god wouldn't be affected by such logic. They could have changed the rules to allow for free will without evil.
