The people I've met who accuse scientists of "playing god" are usually doing so themselves. That is, passing judgment and condemnation. Of course, they think God is compelling them to do so, rather than that they are compelling their idea of God to do so.
- jswinghammer 16y agoInteresting interpretation of people who are judging others. The Bible states that people are doing this in order to distract God from their own sins that they need to confess and repent of.

Come to think of it, all the death-by-stoning punishments make a lot more sense than the "never judge anyone for anything" idea.
- jswinghammer 16y agoWell the idea isn't to avoid correcting people who go astray but rather to avoid pointing to others faults as evidence of your righteousness. That's what most people do (even those who aren't religious as I'd normally define it). The Bible states in the same book (Romans chapter 2 for the first citation and 6 for this one) that the wages of sin is death--meaning this life or the next.
