Numerous posts pointing out how Christians are behaving in unChristianlike manner are simply attributed to them "Not being a true Christian." If you are answering in this manner, is this not like the pot calling the kettle black? Are you not judging that person in an unChristian like manner? Yet another hypocrisy at work?

Good point here. I am a Christian myself and I don't condone bashing people upside the head until they "get it" thru insults or any other unwholesome talk. Jesus never forced anyone to get with the program, he always gave people a choice. Either you're in or you're out. Life or death. There's no bashing necessary. Only decisions to be made. Acts 2:38 ;o)

I am a Christian and will partially agree with you on this. There do seem to be a ton of very Judgemental Christians on here. While perception and attitude have a lot to do with determining if someone is being judgemental or not, the person(s) may not be trying to judge.
A true Christian will point out errors and try to get the real message across....not judge. If someone claiming to be Christian writes, "Jesus Christ was crucified on December 25th by being fed to a giant fish. Then, three days later the fish spit him out....and that's the story from the Bible."
A Christian should write back, "I'm sorry, but you've confused Jesus and Jonah. December 25th is the day that was set aside to celebrate Jesus's birthday, not his resurrection. His ressurection is celebrated on Easter Sunday. Jesus was crucified on a cross....died...and was ressurrected. If you would like more information I would love to talk with you more, or at least point you in the right direction."
A Judgemental Christian would say, "You're such an idiot. What kind of moron thinks Jesus died on his birthday? You are certainly going straight to hell for confusing Jesus and Jonah you goof. God Bless You (someone better...because you're doomed).
It's all about the delivery. A Christian cannot condemn someone to Hell, nor can he say "You're going to Hell." We, as Christians, do not know what is going on in your life or what God has in store for you. Even the most horrible criminals have repented and been accepted into the Kingdom of Heaven, so WE AS CHRISTIANS can only talk about the Word and spread the Word. We cannot Judge or we will be judged.
Fellow Christians...take heed. Walk as Jesus walked because we are being watched and scrutinized by everyone.

Again this is a human condition...not a Christian condition. Pointing the finger at one another unfortunately happens, but not because someone is a Christian. This happens in all beliefs, just think about politics!

1 Corinthians 6:2-3, Do you not know that the saints will judge the world? And if the world will be judged by you, are you unworthy to judge the smallest matters? Do you not know that we shall judge angels? How much more, things that peretain to this life?

If you are a Christian it's your job to set a good example and reflect Christ, acting like the world and non-christians is not reflecting Christ, and first take the plank out of your own eye before you worry about the speck in someone elses!

True! Christians should NOT judge others!
I hate it when "true" Christians say that so and so so immoral and how such ans such is going to hell.
They are hypocrites!!!!
Doesn't their religion say "judge not lest ye be judged? And yet they have been doing this for centuries!

They were allowed to judge things on earth. Just not a persons heart.

Unfortunately everyone on the face of this earth is a hipocrite. There was only one who wasn't; Our Saviour Jesus Christ. We can only forgive, ask to be forgiven, and try to do our best. God Bless You.

Exactly - judgment is human conditioning. You don't think other religions/people judge?? HA! Try talking to my (jewish) mother-in-law!
