My Life Was Saved by the Book of Mormon! A Philosophy Problem.

[_Gadianton]

The LDS drama surrounding it is just for fun. nothing about Mormon culture is relevant at all. I can create different scenarios to drain any of the believer/non-believer stuff from it.

[_Moniker]

I'm going to PM you something.

Oh goody. A cyber weed wacker would be helpful. :)

Ahhh... okay.

One of the things that makes truly philosophical problems hard is that there is no clear, cut and dry answer. I've seen a couple proposed answers, and I don't agree with them. I don't have an answer for it but I think I appreciate what appears to be a tradeoff in the various ways to look at the problem. But I could also be wrong. I don't know of any super-detailed analysis of this problem in particular.

Alright. You're out of control, Gad. If you don't have an answer for this, why are we doing it? (Yes, I'm still doing it and yes, I still hate you)

I love it! I mean, it's maddening and makes me frustrated and illustrating more of my denseness for the board denizens....yet I'd rather think about snipers and bibles than the crap I usually obsess over. So, it's good for me!

Oh sure. Of course you love it. He's sending you insider information. Now, if we put Gad's head on the stick instead of the Book of Mormon how would that change the scenario?

;-p

You say that the culture is irrelevant. Is LDS theology and doctrine also irrelevant?

I just sent you a PM, everyone who tries on this one first can get the PM. If you can avoid discussing the contents of that PM in particular on this thread until I say it's ok, thanks.

otherwise, you can see that framing this problem in no way relies on theology or LDS etc.
if you have any questions about how the problem I linked to you translates to mine, just ask in pm.

Thank you. I'm going to try it on my own without cheating (like Moniker) first.

I hate you less.

I'm not cheating? Gad, am I cheating? Oh, no. I mean if this is helpful Jersey - what he sent me made me more confounded than before. So rest assured I'll be spending the night looking at what he sent me trying to figure it out before I return to this thread. :)
