That's it, though. The notion that I won't be judged is poppycock. We do it to each other ALL THE TIME - sometimes mean, sometimes kind, but still judgment. I'm READY to be judged.

Ready to be judged by the Froot Loop Toucan?

And I'm not gonna be judge nor jury on that case.... 'cause I'd be tellin' ya to take the insanity plea and get it over with.....

Are you willing to be judged in the standards of those who you find to be wrong?

Their REAL standards? SURE. The ones they SAY they have to get away with stuff? Not a chance.

This sort of moral reasoning is anything but simple. Simple is saying, like Darth K'Trava, "Incest is always wrong." And there's nothing wrong with her belief. Complicated, and more advanced, moral thinking, vis-a-vis Kohlberg, involves situationilasition and development of a moral balance scale where all sorts of factors are taken into consideration before deciding. Its more complicated, and ultimately more satisfying.

And I will stand up and say that "Incese is always wrong". Because I DO believe it is.

Well, thank you, I think. But I still think you're overcomplicating it. I don't feel the brain power ticking over to make my morality work like I do when I do figurin'.

I guess that what happens when one takes too many psych classes.....

That's EXACTLY what I'm saying. Don't overcomplicate it. Just follow your nose. It always knows.

But incense smells Good?....

Not to be facetious, but why? Our modern definitions of incest were generated in the 12th-century AD by the church in order to control inheritance better...If you found your true love, and it was your first cousin, what's wrong with it? I assume you'll just say that it comes in from the Big Guy, and whatever he says is wrong shall not be done?

Because I'm not. And even if it happens, I highly disapprove, as I would not do such a thing. You would have to accept judgment on their terms if you wish to stay non-hypocritical with your own policy of judging other based on your standards.

To be honest, he's more likely to be judged by those who disagree with him on moral issues than those who would believe the same code as he does. It's the same as if you were in his "shoes" in this case. Or me, for that matter. It's different for everyone.

"Judge not, lest ye be judged".

Try getting around that crap when wearing contacts. Then it's annoying as hell, no matter if it "smells good" or not....

Well then that's where our beliefs clash. I am not willing to accept judgment of my morals from those who hold different moral codes. I am not willing to accept a pronouncement from a deity-believer that I am "evil" even if they honestly want to "save" me from my "sins."
