What does the good book say about that?

You will be judged to the same standard.

Somehow I get the feeling you're not talking about Genesis 38:9

Look around, people between age 35 and 45 oftimes have somewhat bizarre goin' ons. Some work through it, some don't. Just sayin...

I really don't see what the ages of the people involved had to do with anything. Stupid people do stupid stuff, whether they are young or old, or in between.

...there's a big difference between judging(condemning) and discerning from the facts given what happened...the country's in a big mess because it's become politically incorrect and unpopular for us as citizens and even pastors from the pulpit to call sin sin...and say "this is right and this is wrong"...being compassionate and merciful doesn't mean saying "that's OK"...it means saying "You did something wrong, but there is forgiveness available..."

...how can we clean up our society...if we can't name the dirt??? all any of us can do is to gather the facts as presented, in this case by a news article, and draw conclusions from them...the Good Book is full of examples where the sin was forgiven...after it was called exactly what it was, and the sinner repented...so shame on us??? NOT...
