balancing test

[replying to this and a later thread comment]

the reason for point out the harm isn't to balance it against the good, but to determine if the harm is avoidable or at least can be mitigated.

and in that determination, it's worth seeing if there are common features wrt religions as institutions.

i think it's morally/ethically bankrupt to think that a good offsets a harm.
