Answer 1

children and old folks

do all the judging

Answer 2

before I joined this, I would have definately said hands down that Christians judge people the most, but now that I read some of the retarded things that people post on here, I would say that Athiests seem to be the ones that do all the judging. I'm a new believer and I've made it a personal goal not to be a judgemental Christian, but after looking at some of the posts here, I realize that I should have worried more about that when I believed nothing at all.

Answer 3

I think you are very perceptive. Many Christians have felt increasingly judged by society. It hurts. The difficulty is when we change our behavior and stop loving because of what has been done to us.
Judge others? No - I read recently there are 55000 laws in our nation alone. I think the hard part is to love people as we want Jesus to love us. If I am having sex outside the marriage vow, then someone will be hurt. It may not be now, but it will come. Ditto the other concerns you mention. I don't want to be judged because I most likely already feel guilty somewhat. What I would want is someone to care enough to love me as a person and through that love to draw me away from whatever behavior. Its risky business because it demands we open up and show our own failings as well.
Thanks for making us think.

Most religions (that aren't cults) have a set of moral principles that often have some very sound purpose behind them. Most religions, though, also often are a little over-the-top when it comes to clinging to certain things and refusing to consider there may not be a sound purpose to them.

If you take away all the "fluff" in any religion there is often at the root of it things like people having self-respect or not doing things that aren't healthy or not hurting anyone or anything intentionally.
Because of the fact that some common-sense principles do actually make a life better many people find proof that principles they have learned through religion are a good idea.

The mistake many people make, though, is one of two: Either they just accepted some rule without ever really understanding why it makes sense or else they place too much emphasis on the fact that a basic principle came from their religion rather than the fact that there may be come common sense underneath.

Finally, some religions just have a set of rules that in this day age shouldn't apply any longer. This is the "fluff" stuff.

I think when people see someone who is doing that that isn't really a good idea (like smoking, or girls wearing trashy clothes that get them looked at in a less than respectful way, or not paying much attention to having any kind of spirituality even if its not particularly a belief in a certain God, etc.) they notice the person is doing something that generally doesn't make for the best life; but if they comment or have an opinion about it it is often because they just accepted something from a religion rather than that they thought out the common sense consequences of whatever it is the "guilty" person is doing.

Religions are not ordinarily known for encouraging people to think for themselves, which is probably why the person who follows any religion seriously just operates from the religious point-of-view. Some religious people do - whether they're particularly encouraged or not - try to think things out for themselves, but they gnerally keep such different thoughts from their religion to themselves. They aren't the ones who voice the judgment about other people.

Non-religious people who try to figure things out on their own sometimes don't have the intellectual ability to be able to sort it all out and come around to figuring out a good, solid, common sense, set of values or morality. Some do, but some don't. Many people without the ability to sort out what makes sense in terms of what's good for a life tend to think ALL religious principles are just willy-nilly rules that have no purpose behind them.

Religious or not, spiritual or not - I think no one group has a monopoly on being judgmental. It depends on the person. The fact is there are people who have no religion and who just go around and do whatever feels good, and even these people are judgmental about the person who doesn't do whatever feels good or what seems like a fun idea at the time. (Have you heard, "People have so many hang-ups about...." or "People have inhibitions....." or the famous one, "Sex is natural. Animals do it. Why try to go against that.....")

Being judgmental comes in every race, creed, color and religion or lack of it.

Answer 5

My guess is you rarely read the Bible.

If you should read off the bible more , you would understand the source of all the resentments of non-Christians are from the bible. OT & NT. The church goers actively spreading the gosples is just as invasive when they go about it.

Why is it invasive? While Christians talk and question about their faith amount themselves, they are offended when non-Christians do that. That's very... immature.

Yet Christians go about questioning other people's faith or lack-there-of claiming it is their God given right and duty at times. That is the reputation of Christians.

That's the problem. For as long as you publicly claim to be a Christian or a member of such and such group, you immediately pick up all the good and bad reps about them.

In short, you would better have some very understanding friends or you would be frustrated about that Christian identity.

Answer 6

It's unfortunate, but everyone tends to judge others. Some do it more than others, whether by nature or because some take notice and try not to do it. At any rate, percentage-wise (not person by person, because Christianity is a major religion of the world) I do not believe that Christians or non-Christians do any more judging than the other group. I try not to judge too much, but sometimes it is unavoidable.

There will always be people you do and don't get along with, and that absolutely does not have to be determined by how they live; that is theirs and God's to deal with. There are many behaviors that I don't agree with, but it's not my business. Everyone does things that someone wouldn't agree with, and if we all chose our friends only according to how correct we perceive all of their actions to be, no one would have any friends at all.

It is unfortunate that people seem to judge you simply because you are a Christian. I also perceive that sometimes. Something I have learned, however, is that misreading someone's opinion of you and taking it as truth is also a judgment of them. Luckily for everyone though, first impressions can be overcome and almost completely forgotten.

Answer 7

Well being a Christian myself I agree with you! Most people do lump us all is one group and then say we're all bad and judgemental! Thats not true We're not all like that! I live my life the way i feel it to be. If you want to go the other way thats your choice! I Still love you and i would never try to hurt you intentionally! love thy neighbor people! I kinda get tired of the other Christians that do judge others! We can't judge anyone else.Because we were all born the same!

Answer 8

I am LDS. Some, including ourselves, consider us Christian.
Anyways, I believe everyone judges. It is human nature. It is OK to righteously judge though...like I don't hold anything against anyone who drinks alcohol, that is their choice, but do I associate myself with people who do? No, not really. I know people who do, but generally I stay away from it. That doesn't mean I think that person is bad or something, I just don't agree with their choice.
We can be friendly without judging. Honestly, I DO care about how people live their lives, to some extent. It makes me very sad when I see people who are so lost, or have no morals or values or beliefs in anything. But, I honestly try not to judge people for the way they live and just try to love everyone as Jesus did and does!

Answer 9

word the IF in verse 14&15. it truly is a useless giveaway that perchance all women folk gained't have lengthy hair. except that, i do not see your homosexuality attitude. Is it some thing about bushy (or bald) lesbians or some thing? Jesus teaches of the destruction of Sodom in Luke 17:29 And contained in the day that Lot went out of Sodom, it rained hearth and brimstone from heaven, and destroyed all of them. -Luke 17:29. Jesus teaches very obviously yet in case you do not believe him, you gained't believe any of the apostles at the same time as they say an similar component, that gay acts are sin.

Answer 10

it is my opinion that EVERYONE who criticizes another's belief is actually Ignorant of that for which they claim to be speaking badly of.

And I am not saying ignorant in an disrespectful way (see definition:
destitute of knowledge or education ; also : lacking knowledge or comprehension of the thing specified b : resulting from or showing lack of knowledge or intelligence

It seems those who pre-judge someone else are in fact basing their response on what someone else says instead of actually taking the time to research for themselves.

Besides, No Two People will EVER believe exactly the same thing. It is just not possible. We all have individual minds, which think in Individual ways. Those who choose not to actually use theirs, to weigh their decisions from BOTH perspectives, are in fact becoming ignorant to the subject they claim to be all knowing about, thus resulting in inaccurate representation of the subject.


This is solely my own opinion, as yours may differ.

Answer 11

As a Christian, I'm not out to condescend to the way others live, I have friends who use drugs etc. But I will always hope to help them be free of addictions etc. Christ came to set us free, so why would we want to let a friend continue suffering when they don't have to. Also, we are the light and salt of the world, we do have to step in and uphold morality. In the case of abortion, polygomy, pedophelia, hunger and other human suffering, we need to continue to be an influence.
