I very much appreciate this perspective, especially as I was unaware (as I'm not Catholic) the Catholics teach that "everything in the pre-christian scripture is to be read allegorically". Do you have sources you could add to help people see how this response is from their viewpoint? I don't know wha... (more) |

Perhaps another part of the challenge is that a lot of the discussion I've had on Codidact is meta-discussion, where not everything is really a "question" and it's a bit contorted to figure out what should be in an "answer" vs. a "comment" when they're both just "discussion content" that shows up in ...

Yikes, as I put in my comments to that meta question from @laserkittens, my comment was more about trying to understand the perspective than any attempt to disagree with it. Please interpret it in the most charitable way you can. :) (more) |

I think your question actually has a lot to do with how "modern capitalization conventions" have changed over time in general. It might be worth asking about the history of capitalizing pronouns that refer to God on [the Languages site](https://languages.codidact.com/) too. (more) |

Thanks; this is a useful perspective, though I'm not sure how I feel about the implication that God therefore must have created our hearts with the desire to sin even though he didn't need to. (more) |

@mattbrent Are you thinking along the lines of multiple independent upvote buttons, one meaning "I agree with this answer" and another for "This answer presented a perspective well and answered the question from that perspective even though I may not agree with it", and perhaps yet another for someth...

It's definitely tricky to find the right balance, where Codidact's focus (if I understand correctly) is foremost on building a *community*, of which good Q&A is but one (though key) piece. My initial thought is along the lines of I'd want to ask a question here much like I'd want to ask a question at... (more) |

There are some earlier references on the Wikipedia article for [Reverential capitalization](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Reverential_capitalization), but it's not clear to me from that which was "first" or how it's distinguished from the general 17th/18th century practice of capitalizing a lot more ...

I don't know how possible it would be in practice, but I'd really like to instill a culture of upvoting meaning something like "this is a useful contribution to the discussion helping one understand a perspective" and not "this is the correct opinion on the matter". It's going to take some effort and... (more) |
