Nothing frightens me so much as a man who is convinced he is Right. It’s an absolute moral license to indulge his appetites.

And are you convinced you are Right in declaring the above statement as something true?

Here’s the problem with criticizing belief itself … the act of believing means little to nothing until you consider the *content* of the belief.

A man 100% convinced that it is wrong to, say, rape & murder a child is diametrically opposed to the man who is 100% convinced that raping & murdering children is a good thing (so reasoned because he finds pleasure in it).

I can’t understand what it is about the first man that would “frighten” you. As for the second man, yes, he is indeed granting himself absolute moral license for his (wicked and perverted) appetites. But the first? Thank God he is 100% convinced of being Right!

Both are true believers. But only one is an enemy of the good.
