Bill!, your certainty about the nature of these people's wrongs arises
from the same source as the sins of those you point to. They too believe
themselves right and others wrong. The 'right' I was speaking of - is
this blind self-righteousness - driven by grasping and rejecting arsing
from ignorance of our true nature. The wrong in this, already clear.
There is a reason such things stick out in your mind - and it's not
about anyone but you.

Merle,
I don't know why what I wrote below is not clear. The religions of
Christianity and Islam are responsible for inciting and encouraging
people to commit atrocities. And that fact continues to this day.
You close your post below with "Right marches on". I am just adding so
does Wrong. 'Right' does not exist without 'Wrong'.
...Bill!

People do. Regardless of what they call themselves, the ones who
commit atrocities are the one who think as divisively and with as much
certainty regarding others as as you do below.
