You are confusing the [enforcement] of morality and the judging of moral acts with the judgement of our eternal fate by God.
Respectfully, I was countering your mistaken allegory that those parents who may have neglected to adhere to their religious duties were 'dogs' and 'swine.' Teachers have an extra duty to be cautious in their choice of words.

Respectfully, I was countering your mistaken allegory that those parents who may have neglected to adhere to their religious duties were 'dogs' and 'swine.' It's an analogy. Saying "don't cast pearls before swine" doesn't mean you are literally calling a person swine.
It's about how those who don't value things, don't value them. So valuable things shouldn't be wasted on those who hold them in no esteem.
