So why are Christians always judging other people?
Why are they always running around protesting abortion and such?
If you really believe in God, don't you believe he will judge everyone?
Who made it your job?

I am a Christian who COMPLETELY agrees with you. Christians are not supposed to judge anyone but themselves. But, I will say it is hard to do. It is the pull of our society and human nature to want to judge everything and everyone. Believing in God is a Faith that is hard for some people to attain. It is believing that he is in control of everything, including the people who are having abortions, and killing, and whatever else Christians feel it is their duty to protest. REALLY our job as Christians is to love people the best we can while we are here. I do not believe that protesting things that are TOTALLY out of our hands, and 'bashing' people for how they are and who they are is going to share the love that God has shown us, and the Mercy and Grace he has shown everyone. That was not the point of Jesus' coming to earth.

Actually it's not just Christians all followings have some members like that, but not every member is one to judge. I don't get it either what happened to "he who is without sin cast the first stone". Personally I have my own self to worry about, I am not about to judge what anyone else does. God will judge everyone and don't you know he is not going to be happy with the ones who made it their job while they were on earth

I find it interesting that you take your spiritual maxims from Tupac Shakur. I like him, as well, but I wouldn't go around quoting his paraphrase of Jesus quotations as though they were some sort of truth.
One of those crazy things about living in a democracy is that we make the laws and so internal debate matters. One form of debate is protest. One form of expression is giving an opinion on another way of life.
I'm not a Christian (quite the opposite, actually). That said, personal moral discernment and participation in dialogue are necessary for the functioning of a democracy - even one as failed as my own. What you're describing - a society entirely without judgments - isn't democracy, it's anarchy. You might be in favor of that, but it's not the current state of things.
All the best,
Lazarus

God's judgment of you is the only one you need concern yourself with. Although many so called Christian love to judge others based on their own prejudices, they are misguided and do a lot of harm to true Christians.

So if a Christian saw someone trying to murder you are we supposed to say "Hey! wait a minute!" " I can't judge that guy with the knife!!" and we walk away?? Taking a stand on something does not mean one is always judging.

Only God's judgment MATTERS. That is what is important. Don't listen or worry about the judgments from the people on this earth. They are sinners also.

Anyone who calls protesting abortion, judgment, simply doesn't have enough common sense to use the internet.

God has already judged you. We are just apprising you of His judgment while there is time to do something about it.
"He who believes in the Son is not judged;
He who does not believe has been judged already,
because he has not believed in the name of the only begotten Son of God." (John 3:18)

You got that right. I answer to myself and God. Everyone else can kiss my butt.
