Your screen name is very, very inaccurate.

On the contrary - the "Age of Reason" is the rejection of absolute moral truth in favor of the "reason" of man to determine right and wrong. What you're seeing is the product of the "age of reason" - someone with a morally abhorrent view of a horrible situation.

The "Age of Reason" also brought us communism & fascism, with the resulting millions of deaths.

Precisely, look at the French Revolution to see what the “Age of Reason” brought about, France hasn’t been the same since.

You gentlemen are quite correct. Forgive the error, which is especially sad when you consider my French ancestry. :-)
