What about the same but in a different light: "Those that are most likely to commit atrocities are those that are most likely to believe in absurdities."

What about the same but in a different light:
"Those that are most likely to commit atrocities are those that are most likely to believe in absurdities."
- lmm 3y agoIsn't that putting the causation backwards? The point is that believing absurdities leads to committing atrocities, not that committing atrocities leads to believing absurdities.
- all2 3y agoI think the implication of this reverse phrasing is that the mental condition of some allows them to commit atrocities and perhaps justify them in whatever way they need to. Sometimes people fake it til they buy their own lie.
