Judge them? Yes. Question them? No. That's why I strive not to judge what other people do or do not believe. Belief of a thing is a deeply personal thing, and no one has the right to judge that. Question it by all means, but don't judge.

Well, they can judge my beliefs; after all they are just beliefs. It is when they judge me by the standards of their beliefs without taking my own into account and looking to see just what kind of person I am which disappoints me.
People are like onions - there are many layers that make us what we are and to be judged by just such a small part of it on the outside can make one overlook someone they actually may like if they just decided to look deeper.

Not really. I just find it offensive when people think that I don't know anything just because I have different beliefs than they do.

no not really. If someone tells me "u r an idiot for beleiveing that god exists" I just pull my shoulders up, say "oh well".
It doesnt do anything to me, it doesnt make me change my beliefs, what other people think about what i believe doesnt make a difference in my life.
They can judge as much as they want, their judgements go unheard.

I do not find it offensive. I see it as an opportunity to witness for JESUS to someone who is interested in why I believe that HE is my SAVIOR and has redeemed and forgiven me of my sin. What a blessing to be able to respond to someone about the love and sacrifice of GOD to adopt me into HIS family through the Blood of HIS only begotten SON.

I find it humorous. Sometimes I wonder what their motives are. If you feel secure enough in your own religion what is the point of bashing another religion? It only reflects on your own religious beliefs.

Especially when they haven't walked a mile in my moccasins, yes.
When it's someone who knows what I'm going through and the reasons I'm doing things, I don't mind it so much. Because that person is looking out for my best interests. However, when it's someone who doesn't know me and my circumstances, and is not respectful of me, then I do get upset.

Attacking or defending beliefs, shows that one has no conviction in thier own. A real belief, in thier belief!

From a religious standpoint...not any more. I'm an atheist, and I've gotten used to judgement from the faithful. I tend to disregard them for the most part.
