[Mind's Eye] Re: Guys? We need to talk.

This is true, but what you call a flaw I call a normal part of the
human pshyce.

We as a speices are far too disperate for everyone to agree with each
other, and rest assured when you talk about this flaw or that flaw you
are really talking about morality. How then do you judge your moral
stance as being supeior than others, by what objective measure?

Taking my example of racial bigotry further, I can understand why it
exist, even if I do not like it. It is part of the quiet human mode
of thought bassed around families, extented familes, tribes,
countries. Tell me would you say that patriotism is moraly correct or
incorrect?

As to if you belive this about Godthn you ust belive this about self.
You may find it absurd, but when you give it soem real deep thought,
perhaps you'll not find it so?
