Holy strawman

Buddy, billionaires don’t care about whether you shame them.

But they do care about the prestige of looking charitable.

It makes far more sense to play along and let them feel like heroes if it means the next tragedy gets $100k.

Consider this: donation shaming contributes to a cost/benefit analysis.

Consider that Taylor Swift could donate $100k for every single tragedy that occurs this year and be no worse off.

But that would get her more bad press than it’s worth. People would say “why does this tragedy get $100k when its obviously far worse” or “The amount of people affected are more than this other tragedy, why are you racist?” Etc.

So, they stay quiet, and even then people get shamed for not using their platform to speak up.

If you actually give a shit about seeing the most amount of money going to help people, you should realise the path forward is to lower the bar to access, and make donation as beneficial as possible to the people donating.

Call it what you want, but $100k is $100k.

For the people who are actually affected, any donation is appreciated.

In any case, do you intend to use shame to force higher donations?

Donation shaming is bad form.

The right move is to give them the credit and move on, because regardless of PR, it is a net positive.

Yes, but it Isn’t Overkill doing the support.

They’ve outsourced future updates to a third party patching group.

I play PD2 to this day, and they’re doing great.

Within the first few weeks they patched bugs which caused crashes.

I can accept metaphorical truths, but I’d argue that any resemblance of them is coincidental.

There is so much redundant or unnecessary nonsense in the bible, that some of it is bound to line up with some fundamental truth farther down the path of knowledge.

Obviously, whoever wrote genesis was not aware of evolution, and I’m not implying that you are proposing this insinuation as an explanation (it’s just an example of what I mean).

Regardless of being unable to un-knowledge ourselves, one of the things I was pointing at was the absurdity of free-will as a concept.

God is supposedly omniscient, he knows the test will fail.

If you want to get metaphorical on that, you could probably spin it in some pretty weird ways.

Regardless, Christians cannot reconcile the literal claim that God is all-knowing from the notion of free-will.

Let’s break this down further because the Garden of Eden is fucking weird.

So God has these two people he keeps as naked pets in a garden. He watches them every second of every day.

God tells these people “eat as much fruit as you want, but don’t eat the fruit from that tree, or you’ll die.”

One day a snake tells Eve “God is lying to you, the fruit will make you smart; God wants you to be unquestioning and stupid.”

So Eve eats, and realises she’s part of some weird nudity cult where she was lied to and taught that the truth is dangerous.

She makes Adam eat and God, (who can see the future by the way) says “you failed my test, despite creating the conditions in which I knew would cause you to fail. Why couldn’t you just have just accepted my lies and remained idiots? This is your fault”
