Cacotopia
Let's go full Trottle
I find that many theists' moral codes.compass to be extremely flexible when any scrutiny of supposed action by their deity comes into question. Yet they supposedly hold a high moral standard for other people. You will make excuses for human sacrifice, infanticide, mass genocide, torture, rape, cruel and inhuman punishments, slavery, and philocide. I find that a numerous theists, christian in particular are quick to pass judgement and make excuses at the same time.
Action believed to be righteous is a poor excuse to commit atrocities with a clear conscious. Not in my view.
The end never justifies the means when you flippantly cast aside your humanity to achieve it, then feverishly don the mantle to appear holy in the end.
Now I have said some things in the past that do suggest that one's own humanity needs to be discarded in order to make difficult decisions. But casting down your own humanity to save the many over the few is a great burden one must bear in making such a decision. Never taking it lightly and owning that you became a amoral monster in order to save humanity from itself. It certainly does not justify the means, but it is a conscious decision based on rationality, and your conscious is not free from judgement.
