d) Defective Moral Compass
We've all seen examples of this. The internet has many
Christian-fundamentalist-moralists who fail to see the hypocrisy inherent in
applauding the murder of abortion doctors, or in defending the nasty
"God" of the Hebrew Bible who (supposedly) drowned most life on earth
in a fit of pique. Lamentably, these types are willing not only to excuse, but to defend genocide when "God" commands
it.
Joshua 6:21, 10:40
1 Samuel 15:2-3
Jonathan Haidt's research demonstrates that, rather than
fine-tuning their moral thinking according to the Golden Rule, conservatives a) dutifully adopt 'in-group' dictates, and b) base moral pronouncements on visceral
responses.
