I could 100% rationalize my immediate selfish. Desires to outweigh any potential down the road concern, and then justify all sorts of bad behavior with that as the reason. I don’t think 100% rationality is enough to get us there. What if we we switched it to a 100% honest and up front world?

"There ought to be a term that would designate those who actually follow the teachings of Jesus, since the word 'Christian' has been largely divorced from those teachings, and so polluted by fundamentalists that it has come to connote their polar opposite: intolerance, vindictive hatred, and bigotry." -- Philip Stater, Huffington Post
