This is a spin-off to another recent thread. But I wanted to formalize the issue, without weighing it down politically or culturally as it is happening there.
There are two fairly common views:
"He who is without sin shall cast the first stone."
"We're all hypocrites, therefore, nobody has the right to criticize anyone or morally condemn anyone."
Is this true?
When, how, under what circumstances are we justified to make moral judgments?
Discuss, and try to remain as formal as possible. This thread isn't about individual instances of making moral judgments, but the purpose is to discuss the general principles of moral judgment, principles that can be applied generally whenever making moral judgments.
