I do base my personal morality judgements of others on observable action. I also base them my understanding of said magic book. I also base them on circumstance, societal norms, laws and a few other things.
My overarching point being that your assertion that humanity as a whole has a tendency for compassion and good is askew. While I agree there's the ability for that, I don't believe the drive is from the same place you do, nor headed in the same trajectory.
Um no, you are not "probably related" you ARE related. DNA proves that all human beings are the same species.
You not liking his behaviors does not change that. I hate Stain too. Some human beings are simply disturbed monsters. But there is no sky hero allowing it, or blaming us, or a ground troll causing it. Some human beings are simply vile piles of shit.
The good part of our species, while some are worthless pieces of shit, there are also lots of compassionate humans too. People like Martin Luther King Jr, Malala and Ann Frank.
But again, I do not assign any good or bad that other human beings do, to being allowed by, or caused by, to a super natural cognition. Just like don't assign what humans do to Yoda or Darth Vader.
Saying Stalin was a homo sapient isn't claiming humans should behave like he did.
You can look at human beings just like weather. Each day is different, and some storms bring needed rain that feed crops, and make rainbows, while other storms can end up in tornados and hurricanes.
Humans are simply one species, and can be either compassionate or cruel as individuals. But Thor does not explain why rainbows or tornados happen.
