my one and a half cents
Where are you getting your definition of hedonism from? It seems to me that you are creating your own definition of the word. Whenever I have seen the word hedonism used it was in the context of selfishness and not altruism. [[User:Conservative|Conservative]] ([[User talk:Conservative|talk]]) 07:18, 20 July 2016 (EDT)

:Thanks for your input, [[User:Whizkid|Whizkid]] and [[User:Conservative|Conservative]]! I seem to be well out of not only my area of expertise but also my area of familiarity. I guess I need to do more reading and less writing. Anyway, Whizkid's explanation makes a lot of sense to me anyway. I'd wondered before if Conservative's question was applicable, (regarding whether you had a unique definition for this or not) and now it seems it is. What I'm hearing from every angle is that hedonism is all about self. It would make sense, therefore, that even Christian Hedonism would be about serving God for the purpose of self, which is not the reason God wants us to have for obedience and service. Anyway, if we can get the self only vs self and others issue resolved, I'd agree with making a separate Christian Hedonism section. I don't think you would need to link to this page, since it is the talk page of hedonism already. --[[User:DavidB4|<font color="ForestGreen">David B</font>]] <sup><small>([[User talk:DavidB4|TALK]])</small></sup> 08:17, 20 July 2016 (EDT)
