WOW and my position is too complex? Just kidding

I wanted to have two cases of induced harm by this imprecise act. One obvious. One non-obvious. My point was that sometimes people when ACTING are acting on a subset of the facts or just ACTING, which is even worse. Sometimes they think they are doing the right thing and really they are causing harm and suffering. Attacking some place with a car or bomb is a careless and imprecise act. Not the act of compassion, but mindlessness. Would Jesus have done it? I'm not pro-Abortion, I'm anti-suffering. Suffering is the greatest ill that affects humanity in all its myriad forms. We should all seek things that create less overall suffering.

It'll take me a while to get through all of that interview. I've got some work to do. I don't think that morality needs God, only a projection of oneself into the situation or circumstances of someone else.
