“But I can’t help but wonder if this is the absolute most death-glorifying culture and immoral of all the ages.”

Not even close.

Lots of societies in history much worse than ours.

Why do so many people on FR like to pile on when it comes to cultural issues? As if making it sound worse than it really is will make it bette?

As I said in my previous post, I know there were more brutal ages.

My point was that this present age is as brutal but it tries to cover it with the spin that what we are doing is actually more moral than far more moral ages.

Those previous ages knew they were brutal and glorified the brutality.

This age is as brutal but carries out its brutality under the guise of a moral mandate. And to me, that is far more evil.
