Is such a person totally opposed to genocide in all cases? Is it just the biologically human 'genos' or are animals different? (Not special like we are.)
What about the pathogen that everyone else wants to wipe off the face of the Earth? What type of genocide is that?
If there was a country inhabited entirely by a people (or a species) that wanted to wipe out some other entire country at all costs - kill or be killed, fight till the very last man standing - would we leave them to their own devices?
.
I do understand why Christians so gleefully justify genocide however they can. It's what you expect when you're dealing with psychopaths in a death cult founded on a horrifyingly misanthropic belief system.
Only God is justified.
I was asking how humans justify genocide.
Usually, they assert some sort of humanist, utilitarian...end justifies the means form of logic.
Come on. Stop deflecting.
Was the Enola Gay pilot justified in killing more people in Hiroshima than any soldier in Joshua's war against the Canaanites?
If the Nazis had been determined to fight to the very last man, woman and child, would their total annihilation by the Allies have been a necessary evil?
If Al Qaeda was a genetically discreet group/culture of people, would it be attempted genocide to wipe them out in a war on terror?
