Is this a form of Obsesive Compulsive Disorder? Can they not help themselves?
Or
Do you think that religion just attracts close minded people?
I have read the King James version from start to finish, and I dont recall anywhere in the Bible it saying that God needs/wants man/woman to sit in judgment of others. In fact the bible I read says over and over again for man/woman to love one and other as Christ loves us.
By the way, I have read the books of other religions, and I think this is a common thread in all of them. Why cant people be kind to one and other?

Well... that's what 'fanatics' do... they rave on and on about whatever they think is the way everyone should be- it kinda makes them feel a little more secure somehow. I suggest that you read a bit about Buddhism... personally, I feel most comfortable with the practice and belief system of the Tibetan Buddhists. Never a bother to anyone, while caring about and praying for everyone!

Go back and read Matthew 7:1-6 & 21-23, as well as Matt. ch. 23 about hypocrisy.
Fear & human assumption is the cause. No one is better than the next person, but many assume they are and they get off track from the true path to God by doing so and hurt others and judge them. If they were a true follower of God they would know better.

Most religious fanatics are just ignorant people who truly dont know their religion. most of the time they are just people who were in need of something to make them feel superior to others. all of the three monotheistics faiths teach that judgment is a trait of God alone. assuming that treat means that someone is either committing a sin and not truly practicing their faith as it was meant to be practiced. The best thing you can do is only concern yourself with God......How does God feel about my doing this or doing that?....... In the end how other people feel will have no bearing on your fate..... God alone will judge you
peace be unto you (asalamwalaikum)

That's the very definition of fundamentalism. It's people who take a pretty good religion and f*ck it all up. They don't have the self control or the logical thought process to slow down and think about things like the rest of us do. They just decide they are right and everybody else just HAS to come on board with them or be destroyed.

some human beings basically p.c. to stir up hate and discontent. some do get judgmental and that frequently skill that's because of the fact they too have been judged. interior the Holy Bible, the scriptures let us know that we are going to be judged interior the size wherein we decide. i'm leaving that as much as God. ((He does a plenty greater constructive activity, besides!))

man will only be judge by god and himself by his actions. If you look carefully at what and how you have written your question you are judging others. Is our nature and is why we must ask everyday for forgiveness.
