Differing Moral Decisions

The world has lots of problems in it, many of which cannot be easily solved. These problems force us to consider the moral principles involved in the situation and weigh our moral values. Sometimes, when we do this, we can come up with responses that we can consider morally correct. Other times, we have to settle for the least-objectionable solution while we try to come up with a better one. Sometimes, there are no good answers. So, let's be careful not to judge people too harshly for some of the moral (or immoral) choices they make. Some of these choices are painfully difficult, and almost everyone prioritizes moral values differently, meaning that we're going to end up making different decisions. Some of those decisions may be right or wrong, but it's often difficult to judge. So let's try to focus on our own moral dilemmas and leave the judging of others up to God.
