Definition: Antipragmaticism suggests opposing attitudes or beliefs in order to achieve a mutually beneficial outcome, often through manipulation or coercion. It's like saying one thing to get someone else to do something you want, but it doesn't necessarily lead to mutual agreement or benefit for everyone involved. In the Bible, antipragmaticism is associated with idolatry (refusing to worship false gods), oppression and injustice, and neglecting relationships due to personal agendas, all of which can result in harm or suffering for those involved.
