Maybe not, but I think it's something we should all strive for.
This is a religious point of view I will never understand. If there is something you know or suspect is not true, why would you strive to believe the opposite?
I can understand someone who feels strongly about the sanctity of life and is against killing of any kind. But why jump from there to the position that every life is equal, which we all pretty much feel is absurd on the face of it. Do you think your God values Hitler and yourself equally?
There is some tension in holding to the sanctity of all life while at the same time recognizing that some people have done really despicable things, but there is integrity in accepting both truths.
