The problem I have with this OP and much of the discussion, is that I am different from God, I don’t think your thoughts should be held against you. I am different from Jesus in that I don’t think you should be judged (at least not by me) for things you didn’t do.

Most of what the OP seems to be talking about is attitudes and desires. Why do good or necessary things need to be done without complaint? What if you’re only complaining in your head? It doesn’t matter how you feeeeeeel, what matters is what you do.

One final point for me: there are other kinds of judgments besides moral judgments. Maybe New Zealanders just think there are too many idiots here.
