  • Not exactly wrathful, more like, he shows up when there’s a lot of ambient wrath going on. Mainly he just resurrects all who died in faith and sets up a judgment throne.

    And he won’t kill them, just they don’t get heaven. The sheep and goats judgment. The section that “What you have done to the least of those, you have done to me” comes from there.

    Honestly I think the existential suffering brought about by realizing that they have no place in heaven after a lifetime of religious lip service is FAR more poignant than any death could be

    Not that most lemmings think this is anything more than a long repeated fairy tale, granted

















  • Science is only one facet of life where definitions are important, and arguably not even the most daily impactful.

    Also science is one of the few arenas with any real interest in a rigorous epistemic framework so that same concept of advancing definitions doesn’t work with social values, political situations, and most media where definitions are changed or co-opted for convenience and leverage rather than objective rhetorical value.

    Pretending they do leads to things like ‘we will become more progressive over time as a society’ being accepted as truisms of human nature instead of the long-term efforts of hundreds of thousands of highly motivated and violently targeted individuals working to better the world for people they will never meet.

    So yes, rigorous definitions in science is important, and thankfully we have developed many useful frameworks to ensure that no matter where in the world scientists share knowledge that it can be held to certain standards of rigor and objectivity

    Literally no other facet of life has that same kind of special protection.
