You're right, but I feel you maybe forgot that you should be happy that you're not one of those people. You know what I mean? The whole "pray for your enemies"-type of spirituality is about this: Once you think you're above the behaviour of your enemies, you're underestimating your own weakness. Meaning; your own ability to fail at practising sound judgement, just like your proverbial "enemies" do/did. And so in danger of enacting the same type of behaviour you were judgemental about, and so sure you would never be part of. Still glad you made a comment though because I pretty much agree.
