Consider our contemporary values, for example. In postmodernism, tolerance — the affirming and celebrating of virtually any exercise of personal autonomy — is the prime value. The unforgivable sin is being judgmental, that is, believing that an activity or lifestyle choice that does not hurt another person is wrong, immoral, or sinful. A second related unforgivable sin is claiming that what you believe is objectively true and thus binding on another person. A person who holds these beliefs is considered to be bigoted, narrow-minded, and arrogant, just as was true in ancient Rome.
