Do you realize that that position is morally indefensible, from any background save nihilism?

But you are completely comfortable misquoting anything and everything you like.
Do you have any clue how much of your vaunted "common sense" is merely culturally inculcated values of no intrinsic merit at all, mostly based on the predominant local religion?
So
read something (I'd recommend the Bible first, but if you prefer Aristotle or anything else, go for it, but know that you should start even earlier, so you can see the evolution of Greek thought that forms the basis of our civilization), so you know what THEY ACTUALLY SAY, instead of relying on your hazy semi-recollection of something someone might have said sometime that might not even have been true.
