One of the interesting moral concepts of right and wrong is how right or wrong something is. Stealing candy bars versus stealing money from the open cash box. Then stealing a purse from the handbag, from where next. People can 'justify' their behaviour with often increasing levels of sophistication. 'It wasn't my fault I stole the, money, purse etc, it was their fault for tempting me. They should have closed the till or handbag.
It moves through life in an insidious manner. Yes I sort of forced her to hold my penis but she was OK with it, girls expect their guy to be pushy. Well she cannot say no when I'm desperate and I bought her the movie ticket. She looked so good she turned me on. I just needed relief, it didn't really hurt her. She was drunk, who cares it was her fault. No that's not rape, god I'd never rape someone.
I was only 10km over the limit. They shouldn't have stepped off the curb. Silly b*****r put their brakes on too early. They lost control so I hit them.
We had a few drinks and this guy looked at me wrong, so I sucker punched him. I didn't mean to kill him, it was his fault for looking at me.
Humans can justify almost anything. We have Governments who now justify murder because the person is a terrorist. Strangely the terrorist justify's random murder because of the politics of the country.
God is on the side who wins.
Sorry but I have built my personal beliefs on self respect and respect for others. I have sinned, mea culpa, but I also know the difference in right and wrong, and stealing a candy bar is wrong, just the same as rape, murder and theft is wrong. And we can desensitise people by saying that there is a little wrong and a big wrong. No, there is just right and wrong.
