The person i was talking to was saying that what Hitler did, massacring all the Jews, was okay, because they brought it on themselves by acting superior to the German people. The person that said that is college educated, smart, and overall friendly. This caused me to wonder.
I know so many good people that are bigots, that hate Gays, Jews, Blacks, or other minorities for stupid reason and claim they all think alike, are all the same, live by stereotypes.
They include, in the people close to me, some of my friends, my grandparents on my father's side, my father himself, some of my teachers...
Currently over 5 Billion people are so scared of their own mortality that they need to comfort themselves in baseless ideas about invisible creators living in the sky, and are controlled by this fear.
...i guess i am losing faith in humanity...is there anyone that has an argument as to why humanity is not really that bad ?
humanity is not that bad - it's much worse than that! And no group (atheists, christians, deists, etc.) are better than the other (better, I mean to do good one to another, not to hate each other for stupid reasons, to be kind, nice, etc.). It is even possible for another genocide to occur - perhaps the jews will be slaughtered once again because now, "they invented the holocaust to occupy the land of Palestine" and did other 'evil' things; perhaps the gypsies will be slaughtered, perhaps the people of a religious group will be next, who knows?
I have lost my faith in humanity long ago. If you look around you'll see that "faith" in humanity is based on no 'evidence' of it being good, but it's only a faith - a desire to be so. You only need to look around everywhere, and you'll see that the people that are not desirable to live in our society are many, and that they do not belong only to certain groups (christians, atheists, democrats, liberals, etc.) - they are in every group, and too few in a specific group are really desirable. Then, if you are careful to see how delusional people are and how stupid (they do not study to see how things are, but only expect others to tell them the truths so that themselves would follow), then you'll again get disappointed. You even see people with high education that fall to ridiculous stupidities and believe them - what to say about the rest? And atheists are not superior here either - damn it, every documentary that uses the word "SCIENCE" extensively becomes so fascinating and believable, no matter how much bullshit (non-scientific things) they put in it! you may get aliens, seeing the future from the zodiac (oh my, and there are plenty who believe that their future is written, or it's possible to be written in stars), a full reptilian story, things combined with the eastern religions (hindusim, buddhism, claiming that we are all a "one" entity, one mind or something), 'secrets' revealed by zeitgeist, etc. and they all put themselves a "science" label. Damn it, I've even heard somebody saying "science says". And if you look around you'll see that everybody has the SOLUTION for the idealistic society: muslims - if there are no more infidels left; christians - if all would be christians; atheists - if religions will be gone; etc. There is no "if we tried to live together in peace", but only a hatred and despise towards the other groups, which would more pleasantly be resolved by a war rather than 'educative' methods.
There can never be peace among human beings, there can never be an idealistic society (except if all are kept in a regime such as Hitler's, where you are not allowed to be different), we cannot destroy corruption, cannot make everybody live a happy life, cannot make all people kind and good and care for each other. And some delusional people put their faith in evolution to make things better - but evolution has only proven the contrary: the first few cells that were born must have not killed anything, but were consuming resources directly from nature; then we had cells eating (i.e. killing) cells, fish eating fish, reptiles eating reptiles and fish, etc. and we have ended up with the human being that kills more than any other being (killing fish, reptiles, birds, etc.) and kills his own kind even for no reason - which the 'other' animals don't. The human being is more destructive and more evil than any other being on the planet, and if evolution brought us here, how can we expect it to make us more kind and more nice and more caring? On the contrary, as things have gone so far, we should become more vile, more destructive and worse murderers! This is our nature, and no education can fix it - it can only mask it in model citizens that appear good and nice, but are likewise ready to kill - if being allowed to or suggested/taught to.
THIS is what humanity has proven to be like, and one can only have a foolish 'faith' based on rather contrary evidence, to believe that things are going in the 'right' direction (towards a paradisaical, idealistic society).
