They people engaging in them certainly felt justified. Whether you agree
or not is really a different question. It also demonstrates the
relativity of 'good' and 'evil'.
If we were for a moment to accept the concept of 'universal evil' then we
are faced with a simple litmus test. If it is really universal than a
rock, rabbit, or person will find it equally offensive.
Or are you perhaps suggesting that people are somehow 'universal' (ie
anthropocentric)...
