The Cuban missile crisis did happen and the top brass was urging Kennedy to push the button. Not sure why you say those are hypothetical. Maybe wiping out the European Jews wouldn't have exterminated them, but most seem to think otherwise.

Right history clearly has no bearing on our current lives. The past is so irrelevant that much of the world acts completely independent of it. Also the human heart is still exactly the same. It doesn't matter how much feel good stuff you read. I'll grant you that Western society has done slavery and brutality way better than the Romans though.

I'd agree maybe that's it or maybe not.

Like I said the hearts are the same. People are still cruel, people still want to be worshiped as gods. That's a reference to the pope by the way. The office of which still exists. You'd think advanced enlightened people wouldn't worship old men in robes as deity. Guess that goes for the Dali Lama or Mohammad's dead body. You can add Jesus in there if you like, but no one can say where his body is so he doesn't have that in common with the others.

No but I don't want to live in a world with rape, murder, and racism either, but guess what? The lack of a cure for evil is why the earth from which we're made and the creations we've made upon it must all go the same direction as our finite lives. I actually live a very happy life because I know what's I can control (very little) and what I can't-- which is everything else. I get out of bed each morning because life is about more than me just getting out of bed.
