I am in no way a decent human and even I hate pedophiles.
I don't like how we can't define what being "Decent" even means anymore. Why is it now such a huge problem for people to figure out what's right and wrong? How did we actually have a Christian pushback against empathy?
I lost a friend recently. To religion.
He revealed that he can't figure out how to have his own values so he turned to Jesus. He said he can't tell what's right or wrong anymore. What was happening is that his family were supporting Trump mindlessly, but he felt uncomfortable with it because he has a young daughter and feels really apprehensive about Trump's history and allegations among other things.
So his solution? Turn to Christ, his family's Church said that Trump is chosen by God, so he can now support Trump without a conflict of conscience.
Yes, that is literally his reasoning, and he is fine with it.
This is the average median voter in this country. This is why everything has gone to shit. Because average people look outside themselves for moral guidance.
I was always told how people follow cues of other people for an idea what to do or not, but I never really saw it until I saw a car get crushed by an 18-wheeler on the highway and traffic came to a stop. Someone got out of their car. Picked up a piece of twisted bumper that was in the lane in front of him, moved it aside and got back in and everyone kept driving. (I helped pull the old couple out and they were okay, not another soul stopped. DPS officers said that's normal, sometimes they will go out to remote accidents and people will have bled out in their car because nobody stopped to check the occupants.)
You're more decent than you think (un?)fortunately :)
