Here's my theory, about Christianity more specifically, because of my own experience with that religion (I'll claim ignorance with respect to many others -- life is finite): one gets groomed to think "rendering a moral judgement" is ultimately what's called for.
At the end of the day, we're waiting for some verdict.
Elon Musk is good. Elon Musk is bad. My attitude is more: who the fuck cares about your moral judgements in this matter; there's lots more that's more interesting to talk about. Including with respect to Elon.
Kinda like that.
Now I may have the impression the Catholics are less judgemental, hence their name ("catholic" as in open minded, worldly, cosmopolitan), whereas Protestants are all about raining "fire and brimstone" (whatever that is) upon their moral inferiors.
All that resentment about a "holier than thou" attitude traces to English pricks right? I'm kidding. You'll find pricks in every culture. Tea cuppy Victorians (soccer moms) and like that.
As if your moral pronouncements were what the big drum roll was all about. We were all in suspense about if you thought it was good or bad. That's such an arrogant attitude.
It's not that we don't care what you think, it's that you just assume it's your moral attitude, your ethnic bias, that we're interested in. Why not ask us what we think matters? At least once in awhile?
Why do we have to care if such and such offends you. Were you asked? Entitlement.
Making Judgement Day the most important day in eternity, seems to be a hallmark of Protestantism especially. Why not Easter?
