If we dont judge, we can't pin point what's right or wrong. If we can't pin point what's right or wrong, nothing is done about wrong doings which is obviously why Christians dont like to be judged.

No body likes to be judged Christian or not. Its wrong no matter who you are or what you are! Sounds like you are judging right now!!

You got another one wrong. Some Christians have a poor understanding of the bible. Just like some musicians play better than others. The bible says we are to judge right from wrong. What we are not supposed to judge is who we share the gospel with. If we judge someone not worthy to hear the gospel, then we are judging them unworthy to be saved. Only Jesus can do that.

Very Good!
Except for two details....
1. What you're talking about is not judging, it's discernment. We discern right from wrong.
2. The scripture says, "Judge not, lest ye be judged. But if ye must judge, judge righteously."
Meaning ~ Judge righteously(according to God's Word only), but know that when you do, that you also will be held accountable for those actions as well.
If Christians are doing wrong and you claim to "call them on the carpet", this is Ok, but know as well, that you will stand in Judgement as well.
Whether you believe it or not is irrelevant, the Truth IS, you WILL kneel before God.

Pull the timber out of your own eye before you try to get the splinter out of mine.
Some Christians are notorious for judging other people, but I believe the Bible is trying to tell us to remember that we are all on a path of gaining a more perfect state ( at the same time we ar e already perfect.) It's a matter of empathy, once we have crossed an obstacle and improved ourselves somewhat, we have to remember when we see someone with failings, well, we may have been there once.
We were all created in God's image - for better or worse.

God already answered your first question, as for the second, No. Christians base their beliefs on GODS laws (They are in the Bible if you were not sure about that). HE has already told us what is right or wrong. We do not have to pin point right or wrong. We only have to read and study to discover the answers. Christians already know and fully accept that we WILL BE JUDGED.

This is not the case at all, first of all who are any of us to judge anyone at all? We are all sinners. We ARE to judge ALL THINGS and test to see if it is moral or immoral and strive not to do that which is displeasing to God, but if I a sinner (saved by grace, but no longer under sins power) judge someone for their sin, I as the word teaches "judge myself", for there is no one sin better or worse than any other. We as human would like to think there is and therefore judge our brother/ sister for doing the very same things that we do or use to do. It would do better trying to help them overcome the things I have been freed from. If any of us could really get it right we wouldn't have needed Jesus to come in the first place, so who are we to judge people who do not see their sinfulness?, does that mean to say nothing to the person? NO but we need to do it gently and with LOVE

Judge all day long as long as you make righteous judgement. How else are we supposed to keep theives away from our fruits and murderers away from our children? Just don't put someone down for your own flaws and think before you speak. Backstabbing and gossip will bite you in the behind.
And keep an open mind. You never know for sure what kind of person is in that car or wearing those clothes. Jesus walked the streets for God.
And remember that there are TWO sides to every story.
That's what that means.

Judging comes at the cost of forming an opinion about somebody, don't you agree? Thus then, comes the irrational obscurity of knowing what's right and wrong. Your generalization needs to be more specific.. Christians are judged more harshly.. we are just as human as you. Judging is forming opinions about what's right and wrong.. whereas the truth is absolute. The day of Judgment Day.. will be the absolute truth.. should be re-termed to the "moment of truth." If wrong doings are being committed.. by a person.. then that person should confess.. but society has put the yoke of opining.. then that person refuses to be truthful about his actions. This applies to everybody.. One who judges is worst because he or she is not acknowledging the truth of one's self. Let's face it, nobody's perfect!.. Not you nor me. I am a Christian. I do not use the fact that's "nobody is perfect" to keep on doing wrong. If I do something wrong, I apologize because I think it's the human decency to do so and because my actions are based in my faith in God. Life is a great teacher.....

I am a Christian. I believe in judging. Spiritual people can do that. We will even judge angels. If we judge ourselves first, we need not be judged. You just don't want to be held accountable for your sins. Sorry man God rules, you lose. It's His creation. You don't have the option to change teh rules.
Repent while there is time.

Please don't lump us all together like that because I'm christian and I would be the last one to judge anybody. Judging your fellow
brothers and sisters is an act of arrogance; it's as if you've placed yourself on a pedastool looking down your nose at those you find fault or disagree with. If Jesus were alive today he would
most definitely be apalled at how we treat eachother. His was a message of tolerance and love for one another yet many "christian" sects have conveniently forgotten that.
Judge no one lest ye be judged!

Alright Mr. Crypto. Why should you not judge? In the Christian reference you have made, judging is considered this--"he is so sinful"-"i have never done as bad of things as he." These judgemments only cut down others. Don't cause your neighbor to stumble, instead build him up with encouragement. God is the judge of right and wrong and judges sin and one's actions. Are job is to worry about what we have done. Judge your own actions, not others'. I am just as sinful as anyone else but I will not point out the splinter in your eye until I take out the log in mine. In other words until I am perfect I have no place in judging you. Since, on this earth, i will never be perfect,it is not my place to point out your sins but must focus on mine. Only God is perfect. Even "saints" have sinned. God Bless.
