Maybe you could help me out here. This imo is evilness in its purest form. This is exactly the kind of thinking that in Nazi Deutschland led to the mass slaughter by the nazis in WWII. That it's allright to sacrifice the few for the benefit of one people. That the good of the individual is not a fundamental level to assess moral justice. That to destroy the crippled, the lame, the idiots and the diseased ultimately leads to the net moral good of the nation.
I will have no part in a religion or social movement that thinks this is some kind of moral justification.
