"I meant that your unguarded statements were indicative of your true feelings."

I share my true feelings in all my statements. No need for stupid comments.

"What are you doing meddling in the lives of others?""

I'm not meddling. I'm exercising free speech to discuss my opinions.

"Why is your morality superior to theirs?"

My actions are based on reason--NOT SUPERSTITION. If morality encompasses the premises which reasonably support human survival and human happiness, then there are objective grounds for evaluating moral systems. Most of us do this every day. I have discarded thousands of religious paths based on rigid dogma because objective reason exposed them as silly and feckless.

"Your opinion is that they should or ought not be doing certain things"

Please try to get this right. Stand on your head if it will help:

They have the right to do whatever they want. I have the right to evaluate and judge. I own my opinion based on my own knowledge and beliefs. My opinions are based on rational and simple premises:

1). You have a right to your own opinions and your own actions.

2). Reality will be the arbiter of your choice(s).
