Unfortunately the genie is out of the bottle - when people are convinced of the overwhelming importance of a higher cause, they find little problem with resorting to violence and evil. Watch The Baader Meinhof Complex if you want a historical example.
- mamon 6y agoExactly, "the overwhelming importance of a higher cause" is how terrorists are made.
- tolbish 6y agoYour conclusion doesn't make sense. There are many people who do good things because they are convinced of a higher cause. People go into medicine, or help at a charity, or go into law for a higher cause all the time.
- gnusty_gnurc 6y agoThe morally reprehensible stuff is justified by their perceived higher moral cause. It's powerful, dangerous stuff that works as motivation for good and bad.
