Doesn't your God ask that you not judge others? So why do you do it, and how do you justify your actions?
In your own words, please. If you include scripture, I will give it a thumbs down without reading it.

I reckon some of them should do - and I'm speaking as a Christian. Being partially disabled puts me in a unique position to 'judge' (for want of a better word) people according to their attitude towards me. With some Christians, it's obvious they see me as their 'good deed for the day' and are basically feathering their own nest to get to heaven. Sincere Christians put other people first and themselves second, as that's what the bible says we should do. I point to the parable of the good samaritan in Matthew Chapter 10 as an example of what I mean. So to answer your question in full - yes, God tells us not to judge others but their are good Christians and bad ones - the bad ones acting in their own interest. I hope this helps.

Hey spooky
Yes, God asks us not to judge others. Unfortunately human beings in general can display incredible love, generosity, and compassion YET also display incredible ignorance and fear. I am a Christian ( as those that have been on this sight for any length of time know) but I believe God requires compassion from all people. This is something I pray for and hopefully atheists will run into a few compassionate Christians and not just those that are judgemental. I have met some very intelligent and compassionate atheists just as I have come across some that can be judgemental themselves.

If you are being bashed at all then it is not by anyone that studied or understood the teachings of Christ--perhaps the misunderstandings here are based on a mutual lack of respect for differing opinions here on Yahoo! Answers...
Unfortunately, it seems that some of the best of us here are just spoiling for a hate fest...deity or no deity...it's getting hard to tell everyone apart...

C'mon now Spooky, you know by now that no true Christian bashes anyone.
We do get irked when God or we get attacked and that is only reasonable but anyone who bashes anyone for their beliefs is just wrong.
Now why are you putting a deliberately inflamatory question up?
That's not a very nice thing to do.

i don't for my area bash atheists...whether, there are so lots extra people who call themselves "Christians" than Atheists, so by using using that reasoning on my own of direction you will have extra "Christians" in reformatory, and decrease divorce documents...i don't comprehend the homicide or suicide documents, so i won't remark on those. as a ways by way of fact the IQ is going i won't communicate for every physique else, yet I definitely have an extremely intense IQ, so i don't subject approximately that. the folk who're doing the killing (suicide/homicide) and that are in reformatory of course have some matters, and have maximum in all probability not in all probability became over their lives to Jesus and stay in basic terms like every physique else, many people look to assume, that by way of fact they don't look to be Muslim, Jewish, Buddhist etc. that they are immediately Christian meanwhile they have not any theory what being a Christian definitely involves... i for my area like atheists, by way of fact they reason Christians to think of and to renowned their ideals.

I can not judge anyone
However, stating that something is Wrong does not mean that you have judged that Soul to Hell
We all sin.........ALL OF US are not Sin Free
there is no such thing as sin free
If someone asks a question and it states that it is wrong in the Bible then I will tell them
But Have I judged them?..........nope
Only God Can Judge

Actually...It seems that whenever one person confronts another person over an issue, the statement "Do not judge!" comes up. Christians are often accused of "judging" in contradiction to what the Bible says whenever they speak out against a sinful activity. However, that is not the meaning of the Scripture verses which state, "Do not judge." When Jesus told us not to judge,He was telling us not to judge hypocritically. "For in the same way you judge others, you will be judged, and with the measure you use, it will be measured to you. Why do you look at the speck of sawdust in your brother's eye and pay no attention to the plank in your own eye? How can you say to your brother, Let me take the speck out of your eye when all the time there is a plank in your own eye? You hypocrite, first take the plank out of your own eye, and then you will see clearly to remove the speck from your brother's eye."
Jesus warns against judging someone else for their sin when you yourself are sinning even worse. That is the kind of judging Jesus commanded us not to do. If a believer sees another believer sinning, it is their Christian duty to lovingly and respectfully confront the person with their sin . This is not judging, but rather pointing out the truth in hope of bringing repentance in the other person. We are to speak the truth in love. We are to proclaim what God's Word says about sin. We are instructed, "Preach the Word ; be prepared in season and out of season; correct, rebuke and encourage — with great patience and careful instruction." We are to "judge" sin, but always with the goal of presenting the solution for sin and its consequences - the Lord Jesus Christ.

Just because we don't believe in God
Just because we are not delusional
Does not mean we don't care, have compassion, or love our fellow man.
Perhaps we love them more. Without hate, and fear, and religion.
Think'
I care..about each and every person on this planet. I know that without religion, or god.

more times than not, yes. Justification from a christian is like getting Bill Clinton saying that he didn't have sexual relations with that woman, ms. lewinksy. Science proved that he did in fact have sexual relations with that woman.
