Yeah. For example I, and many others, are convinced that it was plain wrong to torture kids for as long as possible to extract as many tears from them as possible before sacrificing them to the gods.

Now some of us are even convinced that blowing yourself up while killing infidels, all the while while getting promised virgins in heaven, is also plain wrong.

I'll go further and say that killing 30 000 of your own citizens (and sending the military into hospitals to finish the wounded: Iran, January 2026) while also publicly hanging a few athletes to make a statement is morally wrong.

Not only do I think it's all morally unacceptable, I know that I'm right. And the examples I gave are not even open for discussion.

I don't think it's that hard to name what's wrong.
