It's not a rebuttal because it never meant to be one. The reason for this is that the post I was quoting did not even attempt to demonise social darwinistic principles--all it was was a load of strawmen and ad hominems.

Social Darwinism is a nonsense that doesn't require any further demonization. Just the fact that it is the implementation of psychopathy on a societal scale is enough for right-thinking people to find it abhorrent. If you don't have an issue with that, then it says more about your psychological status than anything else.

Again, demonization due to opinion. It makes sense to me.
My psychological status is quite alright, thank you--I'm doing well at university and am a sociable person. You must also keep in mind that any social darwinistic principle is very hypothetical--it would have no place in a socialist world.
Maybe you should start a thread about in the debate forums. It is an interesting subject and I'd like to see the opinions of people about it. I already know my opinion about it, but I'm interested in what your arguments for it would be.

I agree, but it's really hard to implement it the way Jesus wanted.
