There is nothing wrong with pointing out to a person something that person is doing which is contrart to what God would have us do.
Actually, we are OBLIGATED to do this while preaching the word to all who will listen so that they might have the opportunity at Heaven.

I consider myself a christian, so that is why I never judge anyone! First and foremost, who am I too judge. I am far from perfect and so are many other people. This is the reason we must pray everyday too get to the point where we need to be in our spirituality. I know that God is the only one that can judge a person. If a person judge people without knowing them it is wrong and that is certainly not a real christian. You cannot really say that fundies(whatever that word means), rude Christians mostly come from the US because this is not true. People from the US are usually targeted for a lot of things but are you not doing the same thing that you are accusing US Christians for doing? YOU ARE JUDGING! Do not do that, it is wrong. If you are a christian and you know for sure you are doing the will of God then who cares what others think? Once again let God be your ONLY JUDGE! A person cannot put you into hell, or heaven so just smile and say GOD BLESS YOU... and walk away. Good Luck and pray about it, God will hear you.

First of all:
QUIT LUMPING ALL BELIEVERS TOGETHER! WE ARE NOT ALL LIKE THAT!
If one is following BIBLICAL teachings, we do no JUDGE anyone!
Therer are 100's of thousands of Believers out there, (& I am sure that there are those on R&S as well), that do NOT judge you.
The message of the Gospel is love, above all! The Love that Jesus has for each one of you.
We only want you to know that love. WE don not judge you. WE don't have the right! As Scripture says:
Matthew 7:1-3 (New International Version)
New International Version (NIV)
Copyright © 1973, 1978, 1984 by International Bible Society
Matthew 7
Judging Others
1"Do not judge, or you too will be judged. 2For in the same way you judge others, you will be judged, and with the measure you use, it will be measured to you.
3"Why do you look at the speck of sawdust in your brother's eye and pay no attention to the plank in your own eye?
Only GOD is able to judge, NOT us!
While we much prefer to talk about what Jeus has to offer, hell MUST be included in our converstaion as well, because it IS vital to the message of the Gospel.
But above all-we MUST witness with the love of Jesus ABOVE ALL!
This is a message to all other Believers, here on R&S:
Try focusing on what Jesus DOES have to offer, instead of just telling others that they are going to hell!
That is much more important!

And don't forget the YA atheists, the likes of which you will not find elsewhere either. The USA was initially settled by, um, undesirables, and extremists. They then had a lot of communities settled and evolving in isolation. Leads to some funny ideas developing, from both sides. And as a country, they are but a pup, an adolescent. We must all show them some leeway and understanding..

85-90% of adults in the United States are Christians, and eighty million of those Christians are Evangelical, or Fundamentalist, Christians.
They have no idea what it really is to be a Christian, and have created their own standard for what a Christian should be, ruling out anyone or anything that doesn't fit that standard as evil.
People wonder why George W. Bush won the 2004 election, but they shouldn't. George W. Bush, though a man of intelligence (yes, intelligence) is an Atheist, and is smart enough to know that people as a whole are ignorant. George W. Bush poses as a Fundamentalist Christian, although in reality he's just a Neo-Conservative, and all of the Fundy's in the US voted for him.
Eighty million people is enough to sway any democratic election in the United States, as quoted for truth, from one of the country's leading Evangelical preachers (that is, before he was kicked out of the ministry for having gay sex with a homeless man for crystal meth.)
For more information on Evangelical Christianity, I highly recommend you check out the documentary "Jesus Camp", about Evangelical Christian Children's Camps, where parents send their children to learn how to be a good Fundy and hate people that are different.

ok..so this one girl say that it is biblical teachings and that theyd o not judge anyone by telling me that they will be going to hell if they do not believe in god?
did i understand that right?
because if so, that is very wrong.
It is not like the bible tells you to tell every atheist you see that they will be going to hell. Trust me, i do not believe in god, and I know I wont be going to hell. How come I am going to hell, btu then all the "christians" that have done worse things than me can be forgiven?
pfft.
your right.
i respect others peoples beliefs but I never tell them they are wrong or talk down on them. I just do not like extremist, who feel the need to try to MAKE you believe in someone up in sky...

That is a good question, and I think one that Christians need to consider when offering Jesus as the solution to the needs of others. When we preach the gospel we need to follow it up with the love of God, doing what Jesus asked of us. I don't believe a single soul has ever been won over by a hateful superior attitude.
I'm sorry that you feel that American Christians are rude, but please don't use that as an excuse to label "most" Christians.

Jesus preached about hell. Jesus even told people like the Pharisees about it as well. Not always is it the right time to tell people about hell. Sometimes it is. Let the Spirit lead us and he will do it right. Well if you are saved I cannot believe such words would come from someone who claims they are.

As a Christan I will tell you out wright that they are in the wrong. " judge not lest ye be judged" is how things are supposed to go. I tell people not to talk to atheists as much as i tell them not to talk to Christan's and for the same reasons, some of them are just jerks who like to tell other people what to do.
