Test my belief system

[henryp]

Of course I have uncertainty. I am not infallible. No one has certainty. We can only act based on our best understanding, or else we'd never act at all. I'm not understanding the objection, if there is one.

You constantly act on information you're not certain is correct, everyone does. It's the nature of the beast. We can only try our best.

You were vague, so your level of enforcement of your principles might not be that serious.  But you say things like treating animals fairly and removing those who don't from society.

I think we've talked about this before, but if I'm not mistaken, but a lot of your empathy towards living creatures has to do with personal pain, and your reaction to seeing other's in pain is a trigger of sorts.

But the generic human empathy scale pretty much covers the whole range.  Some people open the door to let spiders out of their house, some people like dog fighting.  Others eat dogs without blinking an eye.

So I what I find interesting is that you've got your view, which I think you know is a bit abnormal due to personal situation, and you are ready to make that the rule for everybody to a somewhat serious consequence.

What your post reminded me of a bit, was abortion activists who kill the doctors.  Now, I'm not saying you are that extreme or violent, just the idea of taking a belief and applying it to everyone as an issue of morality to the extent of removing them from society seems like a God-like stance.
