Hell, it's OK with you to kill people rather than have them believe a different philosophy than you.

When the person has a philosophy that says it is right and proper for him to kill or enslave me, damn straight.

Pol Pot had a philosophy. Adolph Hitler had a philosophy. Genghis Kahn had a philosophy. Charles Manson had a philosophy.

Just because a concept shows up inside a human head doesn't mean it's automatically as valid as any other concept. And yes, there are such things as evil ideas.

I have noticed that almost without exception, those who tout the validity of these "different world views" never live where those views hold sway. They live right here in the good old democratic Western world, crapping where they eat.
