    “The surest way to work up a crusade in favor of some good cause is to promise people they will have a chance of maltreating someone. To be able to destroy with good conscience, to be able to behave badly and call your bad behavior 'righteous indignation' — this is the height of psychological luxury, the most delicious of moral treats.”

    When you read the entire quote, you see it applies much more to the religious right’s attack on homosexuality in the name of “god”, not the defense of those attacks.

    Yes Gnash, you are an idiot for attempting to use a quote out of context.

    “Crusade” and “righteous” should have been contextual clues, plus the general fact that agnostic Aldous was against the church.

    Alas, you intentionally chose bigot instead of ally.

    Idiot.
