"Do NOT do to 'others' what you don't want done to you!"
(EVERYTHING in the Universe (and everyone), is 'others' (and 'others' Is Self!)!

That pretty much leaves 'social darwinism' in the ugly past! 
Social Darwinism is for lesser IQ people, especially the ilk of Conservative Republikkkans! It is selfish, barbaric, ignorant, callous and extremely spiritually and emotionally immature/broken!
It is what's on the way OUT of life!
Are you?

"Social Darwinism" as a rule refers to the notion that fitness to outlive is measured in wealth, and thus the richer you might be, the more fit you are to survive and propagate. This isn't a lot regarding the "social gospel" besides with the aid of antagonism, as the social gospel customarily entails the mission (so much discussed in the New testament) of assuaging the suffering of the poor. Social Darwinism is more carefully linked to what's known as the "prosperity gospel," the concept that wealth suggests God's desire and accordingly wealthy Christians are demonstrably probably the most obedient to God's will. (The virulent attack on this proposal embodied within the Biblical ebook of Job seems to have escaped their discover.)
