Reply #2: Amen! [View All]

It's reassuring to read someone making a similar point in print that I've been arguing in conversation for ages.

It's way too easy to be smug about past discriminations while self-servingly justifying our present-day instances with "reasonable" arguments.

Most people aren't monsters, but many of us behave monstrously by rationalizing our behavior. As Baggini expresses it,

"While the sins of our forebears are all too evident, the wickedness of our own age is much harder to discern."

Amen.
