We
(humans) have an almost infinite capacity to rationalize any evil we can
imagine, and we use Freedom and/or Reason and/or RELIGION, to do it.


Ain't that a fact! We humans--you, me, and a trillion others. But what do you mean by "rationalize any EVIL we can"? Do you mean EVIL to a rational person, or evil to a guy waking up with an overwhelming desire to screw a woman and steal her purse. What "EVILS" have you rationalized? A huge number, or one or two?

Do you think that EVILS are equally rationalized between rational people and irrational people??
