[QUOTE="FieserMoep, post: 7298288, member: 6919650"] True, though the even bigger problem was harassing someone elses peasants.^^ And true, you can do and reflect "bad" things and justify them for you in a certain context like "we were at war", "repaid a favor" etc. That is how it most commonly happens in human history. Thing is, you can also very well think it is good to do so. Ask the native south american people. I don't think that ripping out the heart of human sacrifices was "evil" for them. True, they feared their gods and wanted to appease them but it may just have been a necessity of everyday live at that point rather than something you think of as good or evil. Think of the witch hunts. Drowning a women just because of accusations may sound bad, but to them it may have seen like a normal, maybe even good thing to do. Mercy-killing is also no foreign thought for us. We kill pets if they get ill, some countries even allow to help humans to kill themselves. No just get a believe system where killing wrong doers is a good thing for them for they will get redemption and their soul purification that way and killing "innocents" is a great thing to do. Who does not know the trope of the hero killing his friend before he gets "mutated/possessed/whatever". That is just the same thought. [/QUOTE]
