I believe there are "absolutes" when it comes to judging people. For example, it's not ok for priests to molest children period! It's not ok to drive while under the influence period! It's not ok, to hate someone based on their color, sex, religion, or sexual orientation. Comments?

We can't judge, we have all in different ways sin and done stuff that wasn't right. You can have your opinion but that doesn't make it right.
You can say "her skirt makes her look like a street woman", and the one w/ the skirt can be thinking, "I look so cute w/ this skirt" It really depends how you look at it. But neither can judge they just have different opinions.
Now when it has to do w/ race, sexual orientation, driving while drinking, I mean they are absolute!
How can anybody make right or positive out of been driving while drinking and hurt or kill somebody? So yes some are absolute.

Your right, humans ARE imperfect... Thats why it is not up to us to judge another...
The things that you mention are laws of common decency...
I do not judge a person by color, sex, height, weight, sexual orientation, etc.. A priest ( or anyone) who molests a child will get his judgement by God..the only thing we can do as humans is to punish them for breaking our laws.. Laws are something that we need has humans on earth to live by or we will all perish...God or no God!!

No. It is not right to judge anyone, lest you be judge accordingly as well. We all are imperfect.
However, there is nothing wrong against having preferences that dissways one from liking molestors or people of different races, religions, etc. Those are natural, and shows nothing more than there is something you have to work on. Just because I don't like rapists doesn't mean I'm judging them. I recognize I'm not exacting anything time of call on their future.

There's a difference between DISCERNMENT in things that cause "harm" and "suffering" and being judgemental. This reads like you're just doing the former rather than the latter. Being judgemental is when you're sticking a label to something based on a narrow view... discernment is an agreed-upon understanding of what causes harm, no matter what religion or philosophy it stems from and putting an end to the suffering and harm.

Hello,
No we can not truly judge one another, and nor should we.
Why?
Exactly what you said," Especially when we as humans are so imperfect? "
Take the person for their individual self, never look at colour, race, or sex.
The blind having been doing this for a long time and we should learn off them.

in the instances you just outlined, you are not judging the person, but the acts that person has done. I dont feel that its the place of anyone on this earth to judge the heart of another. I feel that if they break the laws that govern the land, they should be punished for them, but to judge them in the manner your suggesting is not a viable option in my opinion.

Hate the sin, love the sinner....we are all sinners.
We are called to judge when a persons actions are wrong. regarding sex for example: adultery, same sex acts, illicit sex, engaging in porn, molesting kids etc. etc.
However.....
We are not to judge them to damnation. That's up to God.

Because we are all imperfect and are one body in Christ is the very reason we should not judge others. That is left up to the just judge our Lord Jesus Christ. our job is to love and help one another no matter our faults

He who is without sin, cast the first stone.
Jesus forgave the adulterous woman
BUT CHECK THIS OUT>>> Go and sin no more~~Just as important
If you know you're sinning and keep on doing it you're asking for it
