For example, isn't a person who has no ego who kills somebody more like a rabid dog than a devil?
Doesn't no ego mean no conscience and doesn't no conscience mean amoral rather than immoral? Despite immoral actions.
A rabid dog may not be malevolent but it's certainly can be destructive
A non conscience harm is still a harm
I agree it's still harm. But I'm talking of blameworthiness.
by "morally comparable" did you mean "morally culpable" and by "weather" did you mean "whether"? If so then it seems that we agree. And that our disagreement is a terminological one.
