>>13004501>your entire postAnd? The number of adherents to an idea means nothing to its actual merit.
Since groups can not be taken to be entirely composed of rational actors.
>>13004362Fine, but I don't see how you could conceive of a Christian ethics and cosmogony while having to completely redefine sentience, Would that mean that aliens would somehow also have to have some sort of messianic religion? It would seem so, or else your idea seems to hold no merit. If an alien society never had a messianic messenger, would that mean they are perfect, and that their actions are directly from god?
A christian conception of individuality, sentience and intelligence does not seem prepared to handle the vastly different ways these properties could manifest, even in ways that we have on our own world.
Would a collective consciousness of 1 million worker drone aliens be considered christian?

For someone that claims to base their beliefs on logic, you do seem to be trying to pull the wool over my eyes with underhanded argumentation tactics.

Why not unpack which arguments from Aquinas you think are so valuable, instead of sending me to read 800 pages of queer feminist theory, and come back "educated".
