society's moral judges

0 comments | Sunday, November 11, 2007

In the case of religion I think some religious people believe that if sin/immorality comes into their community/nation, that it will undermine everyone. It will bring in the bad/devil, and undermine the well being of society. They don't really look at other cultural and economic forces that act negatively on their standard of life. This is the dilemma of the religious right (it seems to me), and is why they are so ignorant about what's really going on in the country.

I believe in live and let live myself. The actions of others might have some influence on me (I don't think physics knows this yet), but what folks do is their own business. Of course, if some one is being hurt, that's another matter; but barring that I believe in an individual's freedom to do what s/he wants.
