Do We Think We're Paragons Of Righteousness And Virtue?

[Billlewis]

Apparently so. Just as a reminder, the Puritan era in North America spanned a nearly one hundred year period, from 1533 -- 1630. The ganging up on people whose comments or activities we disagree with seems as though it's getting more out of control every week. Continuing with piety referenc. 'Let he who is without sin cast the first stone'

More than likely, whatever they said or did wasn't as bad as we claim, nor are we as scrupulous as we , think we are.

I really don't care how people live their lives. It's not for me to judge or for me to criticize. I don't live a "perfect" life in a lot of people's eyes. Just the other day, someone asked me if I believe in "sex before marriage". What? I left a simple opinion that I don't have sex or show my boyfriend a "boob" to end an argument! I simply cuddle up next to him and kiss him and tell him I love him! And hope he gets over his anger (it takes him longer to calm down when he's pissed!). Next thing I know, I'm being asked if I believe in having sex before marriage! If that's what you wanna know, then ask that as a question! My feelings are, it doesn't matter what I think! You're a good guy, Bill and I might pick on you and block you at times but I enjoy your candidness and free spirit lol... You'll always have three fans that have your back!

I do believe there are people who think they are perfect and that whatever their morals are are right and better than others. And those are the people who throw the first stone. I believe these people are actually the ones who outwardly claim they have better morals but are in all actuality not living true to their claimed morals so that's why they are triggered by others and need to defend themselves that much more. It's projection. They don't have empathy and that's what makes them so nasty to others.

[BetaBucks]

Yep. The world is filled with people trying to force their morals on others instead of just applying them to themselves. And most of these people are more than happy for state violence to be used to push their morals on others. As far as I'm concerned, if someone isn't directly harming others, then leave them alone.

[Damaged00]

I completely agree. They should be left alone. They have the right to their own opinion and set of morals. But sadly people need to degrade others to make themselves feel better.

Facts 🤝

[BetaBucks]

Nah, I'm a complete degenerate. I just have very specific interests, and nothing can change that. I also have very specific principles and nothing gets me to change those either.

a lot of people do think their views are righteous and they are pure... but who decides right or wrong? One person's choices of living is not better, worse, right or wrong unless it harms others in some way.

[Billlewis]

Exactly. The same boxos, day after day. Like, who appointed you as ombudsman. du hour?

[Crimsyjo]

It also changes over eras and cultures. The Greeks were no strangers to orgys and bring bi-sexual. Then it became extremely taboo and frowned upon. Now sexualities and identities are becoming "accroted" or even fashionable now...
Who sets these rules?

[Crimsyjo]

Urgh my autocorrect gets worse and worse. I meant "being bi-sexual" and "becoming accepted" ...

[Anonymous]

Absolutely.. All humans like to think of themselves as superior to anyone else and infallible.. Unfortunately, everyone is a hypocrite at one point or another. People change their minds or make choices that don't line up with their core values

[Anonymous]

No. I think I'm very flawed. But that's one thing I like about this site. I used to think I had problems. Then I came and saw the train wrecks that inhabit this site. You can't help but come here and automatically feel better about yourself.😆

there's no right or wrong unless it comes to facts and evidence

Only Leftist Democrats.
