The majority of Christians that I have met (I'm a buddhist), are loving, kind people. My friends that are Christian (none of them catholic surprisingly), have explained to me that the bible preaches love, kindness, and do not judge others.
I am confused, as I have seen many Christians (mostly Republicans for some reason), who judge others, for example gays, and things as simple as gay rights. I've seen some of these Christians bash gays, and judge them, or what it seems like converting them, or having them admit to sin or something to that effect.
My question is, I thought a core ideal from the bible was to love (not hate) and not judge others.
This is an honest question coming from a non-christian who is wanting to understand.
Is it okay as a Christian to judge others (for example gays and their lifestyle)? If not, it seems to put the wrong face on the Christian religion. If you do believe in love and non-judgement of others, how do you feel about these other Christians?
