Does Judging and blaming others a sign of poor Connection with God, This question is directed more to theists?

Answer 1

Yes. Some theists look down their noses on people who are different. We have all fallen short at times. It is not good to judge; we as "spiritual" people should be encouraging others to do better. I want an excellent connection with God, so I try to do what's right in God's eyes. And that includes not being judgmental. It could be ME in that person's situation!

Answer 2

I would say that when it comes to judging, I look at the example Jesus set while He was on earth. He did not condemn anyone, even though he did not tolerate sin. The only people He made more direct judgement on were the religious leaders of the day, who twisted scripture and abused their authority in order to keep the masses "in their place." He called these leaders liars, hypocrites, white-washed sepulchars, etc. But, the "average" sinner, Jesus treated with compassion and patience. He would have pointed out sin, but He never pointed out sin with name calling, blaming or the like.

A poor connection with God? I would say more accurately, a poor connection with scripture.

Answer 3

No, it is a sign of being human.

Judging is not a bad thing, as long as your judgements are based on reason and evidence. Even blaming isn't bad, unless it is not founded, though there are more tactful ways of assigning blame than others. Judging based on superficial characteristics or laying false blame are bad, IMO.

God is just a superstition.

Answer 4

Maybe not a poor connection with God totally b/c it is our nature, but a real relationship with God would give you compassion not make you judgmental. So, a little... yeah!

Answer 5

Judging should be left to God. Blaming is another way to be disrespectful to another. Because humans are not perfect as Jesus is.

Answer 6

I fink so.... grampa says that Jesus loves me. He says sharing giggles and toys is more fun than fighting. I think he's right.
