Here's a question that should take about one round of debate to decide on. I posted this in Absolution HQ, because it's pretty damn black and white. (oh, shit. Another accidental video game reference. I give up.)

I move that the following be added to the creed:



We believe in survival of the fittest.



It's a Darwinian concept in origin, but it applies to us regardless of whether we agree with our friend Darwin on the matter of evolution. In an animal world, or, God forbid, a military world, survival of the fittest refers to physical integrity; the ability to win in contests of strength. In our world of ideas that can kill just as surely as tooth and claw, survival of the fittest refers to intelligence; the strength of the mind. We can overcome by the ability to win in a contest of wits.



This is one reason we promote the gathering of information and the debate of ideas. By learning the truth about things, we become effectively

stronger than the average person.



Another belief that relies on this standard is the relative ambiguity of good and evil as concepts. What we call "good" basically means doing some harm, but less harm than what we call "evil". We conclude that people should live by their own moral standards. If this were the case, the majority would conquer, and there would no longer be a cause to disagree.



I also propose, separate from the above, this ammendment:



We believe that knowledge is for everyone.



There should be no such thing as that which you are not allowed to know.Just as we seek to learn the truth about everything, we also seek to share information on truth where it has already been found, and kept from us.



The members of the Advent should have access to all of the informational resources required to consider every possibility and absolve every enigma. With sections like the Dangerous Place, we aim to provide these resources to our members.





Skittles, feel free to copy these into the creed if you're in agreement, make any changes you desire, and then kill this thread.

Aside from the one error in grammer with that mis-entered space, yes, it sounds like the proper wording for the concept...

Amendment added.

You will note, Skittles, that I discussed this concept with you, although I had no genuine concept of discarding it based upon your opinion. I showed a mutually respectul courtesy by presenting it to you before officializing it.

Topic Locked.
