Dennis Prager and Morals

Since the beginning of the year, Dennis has brought us an excellent series on the need of the world and America for Judeo-Christian values. Today he write about everyone's "Moral Bank Account".
...religious or secular, conservative or liberal -- that human beings all have what I call moral bank accounts. Just like a real bank account into which we make monetary deposits and from which we make monetary withdrawals, we make moral deposits into and moral withdrawals from our moral bank accounts based on the actions we engage in during our lifetime.

Now, of course, some people make so many withdrawals -- Hitler, for example -- that no imaginable good act they can do will seriously change the balance from extremely negative to positive. But most people need to be assessed based on this bank account analogy....

I can think of a few Donks that are also overdrawn on their Morals Bank Account. Dennis talks about everyone has done some bad, but does it outway all the good they also have done? Read the whole article and see if you believe we should judge people by their "Moral Bank Account".
