Is that you show that Christian love? Do you sing praises to your messiah with that mouth?
That makes no sense.
I understand it. And because I use my brain a lot I see there are serious flaws and shortcomings with it.
How does utilitariansim represent darkness? How is a focus on maximizing the well being of others something that represents darkness?
Is exactly how a follower of Christ expresses Love -- "get behind me Sataniel" and who is singing praises .. crying "Jesus Jesus" but the false ones .. the Wolves in sheeps clothing . followers of the dark path .. as opposed to the light path .. for there is no dark path .. without the light .. there is only darkness .. the love of correction .. we are taught by Sophia ...
What you know about following Christ ? Clearly not much .. now a little more educated .. but more is to come .. because at the end of thoughtless blather you ask a good question - indicating the presense of noggin use ! Kudo's where Kudos are due Brother Shadow .. The prophet will not steer you wrong .. tis time to "Focus"

The first key is understanding that Utilitarianism is a Justification for Law .. Law = forcing beliefs on others through physical violence .. giving Gov't the power to punish non conformance .. and as such a violation of the Golden Rule = If you don't want others forcing their religious beliefs on you through physical violence .. then better not be doing to others. .... or in the words of the Apostle Peter Tosh .. to Jah Rastafa .. "If you live in a Glass house .. Don't Throw Stones" So it is Written .. so it shall be done !
Very important to understand the difference between Law .. and Law messing with Essential liberty.. the latter being what the constitutional REpublic is all about. .. our system .. based on .1) 2) 3) You got it .. The Golden Rule.. as per the "Social Contract" .. construct by which "We the People" give power to some authority .... keeping in mind that "No man wants to be ruled over by another" (the basics of Locke and enlightenment thinkers .. like Jesus and Thomas Jefferson)
The safeguards put Essential Liberty "ABOVE" the legitimate authority of Gov't .. the main safeguard protecting such liberties in fact .. as per the DOI.. Utilitarianism allows for an end run around that safeguard .. and is thus an anathema to Essential Liberty
"is "Harm Reduction" valid as the sole basis for justification for law ? Utilitarianism does not consider the liberty of the individual -- only that of the group .. what is best - will increase happiness/ reduce harm -- for the collective.
Aside from the obvious "Who gets to decide" -- one man poison another mans pleasure.. Should we not ban skiing tomorrow ? .. "If it saves one life" as justification for law .. would banning skiing not save a life ? indeed it would .. what about boating ... that is super dangerous .. one could drown .. driving a car ?? forget it .. one of the most dangerous things one can do .. and in fact .. one should probably not rise from bed in the morning as one might fall and break neck.
Absolute Power .. this ideology gives to gov't .. and "The Beast" which is a Oligopoly-Bureaucracy Fusion Monster .. but that is another story.
Do not give Absolute power over to the Borg Collective .. To AI .... down the dark path is this Utilitarian Plague .. and then you get into fallacious Utilitarianism .. that is where it is not even a good Utilitarian argument .. ends up decreasing collective hapiness on the basis of a facade such as increased Security .. aka The Patriot Act .. the act which makes it your Patriotic Duty to trade liberty for temporary Security..
but enough of that digression. Utilitarinaism is an anathama to the Will of the Father .. shared with the world over its history through the various Logos .. Hammurabi - Confucius - Budda - HeyZeus - Even Muhammad has the rule somewhere in that forsaken ideology of contradiction.
but you no hear the call ? .. God Calling out to YOU Shadow .. but don't wanna listen your ears .. When hear the Prophets words.. some kind of "Thought Stopping" thing going on .. a blockage of sorts .. a few poison lizards need extracting ..
