I’m sorry you confused assigning morality with analysis but I think it explains why you can’t genuinely participate whenever the conversation steps outside the realm of “is this sinful or not” and why you immediately assume that any form of deeper analysis secretly is “is this sinful or not”
also explains why you’re able to go along with things that betray your values so deeply: you don’t want to assign morality, so it suspends your ability to use any analysis whatsoever. all someone has to do is cry about being seen as a bad person and you lose your analytical footing.
sad!
on the other hand: the niggling suspicion that you don’t actually have consistent coherent beliefs on this topic and are more of an emotional weathervane that can be pulled in any direction that leverages enough guilt and sentimentality has proved correct and I am grateful for that.
