Most people here do not believe in a benevolent god due to lack of evidence.
But many believe in basilisks and imagine that they need to watch what they say because they might let one loose. I wonder what is the evidence for these beliefs in basilisks?
That seems completely unrelated to the parent comment, are you sure you’re responding to the right thing? Or are you just kind of spamming a “LW is a cult” type message?
I am questioning the belief of some that there is more harm from gaming negative scenarios in a forum like this than there is good from gaming negative scenarios in a forum like this. I am wondering where the evidence for this position might be. Throwing in the benevolent god thing was meant to motivate people who might take this as negative commentary to take the question seriously.
