    I think most religious texts could be interpreted to support anyone’s need to justify brutality toward others somehow. I would hope that human conscientiousness and empathy would prevail and keep people from ever wanting to hurt each other, but that’s just not the reality we live in. It kind of scares me how people tie themselves into pretzel-knots of justification for their horrible actions. But I truly believe - bible or not - killing is always wrong no matter what the reason someone uses for it. Hey that’s just me, but…I’m glad I am that way.

      I hope you stay that way. I lost most of my faith in humanity at some point, and what little was left is gone after October 7th.
