It's wild how judgy a lot of Catholics seem to be when the bible is pretty specific about God being the one who judges. His only mouthpiece on earth is the Pope so they should really be listening to that guy and focusing a lot more on not being a cunt as per the rest of the new testament.

that whole book was written by crazy old medieval con men and then editted repeatedly to suit various political needs over time. It's closer to a medieval reddit than a word from any deity.

Regardless, it's pretty specific on a lot of things like "Thou Shalt Not Kill". There's no caveats to that, like it's okay if you tell someone else or an autonomous drone to kill it's not your problem when they do it, or you can totally murder people if they might be doing something you think is bad. The book is nonsense written to stop ancient middle eastern goat farmers from dying before they turned 20 but JD is claiming to be a Catholic so regardless of the fairytale status of the bible, he should be following it.

That part is only supposed to be brought up if somebody else is judging them. It's not cognitive dissonance if they can keep from thinking about it well enough.
