Too bad for the murderer and the rapist.
That justification can be used by the murderer or rapist as well. "Too bad that what I do makes someone else feel wrong." Anyone can justify anything they want to in their minds.
A murderer and rapist can simply declare that what they do is right just as easily as you can declare it wrong. If someone thinks that it's right to not fully realize the Creator in all other-selves, then you can tell them that they're wrong all you want...they will think you are just as wrong as you think they are, and you're both simply standing on your own path of right and wrong, accosting each other for being different.
Yes they can delude themselves all they want.
What they cannot do is justify their rationale. It is the rationale behind the choices and the way of thinking that you are choosing to cast aside as an unimportant aspect of the discussion, solely for the purpose of enabling one to act in whatever way they so choose out of greed and selfishness, as though there are not any consequences.
Stand on a cliff edge and try using that same logic to convince yourself that you have right to jump off if you choose, and you will discover what the consequences are.
Justice reveals itself as consequence.
Should we choose to care only about our self, we will not evolve into Higher Being.
Should we choose to destroy our planet, we will have nowhere to live.
Should we all murder and rape, we will live in a world without love.
