I used some rhetoric, like using the word 'evil' and not rounding 3^^^3+1 to just 3^^^3, to highlight how the people whose fate you're choosing might perceive both the problem and how you're thinking about the problem. It's just... I have a similar reaction when thinking about a human self-righteously proclaiming 'Kill them all, God will know His own.', but I feel like it's useful that a part of me always kicks in and says I'm probably doing the same damn thing in ways that are just less obvious. But maybe it is not useful.

Umm, didn't you (non-trollishly) advocate indiscriminately murdering anyone and everyone accused of heresy as long as it's the Catholic Church doing it?
