I think of myself as quite a decent person, good-hearted and respected, with minor flaws and failings, until it dawns on me that the greatest spiritual failings are the ones committed in ignorance. I see the well-intentioned damage “love” inflicts on helpless children. I see the marks of cruelty in fervently religious people. I see fair-minded Pharisees assess the evidence against Jesus, and consider it their duty to do away with him.
