Humans make mistakes and often fail to live up to their ideals.  Human
crimes are committed by humans, however, not by the gods, or religions, or
by any abstract ideal.  As Pynchon says (paraphrasing loosely), it's not
Technology or God or Democracy or Nazism that's trying to kill me, it's the
guy over there pulling the trigger of his gun and pointing it at me.
