Do Christians primarily condemn nonbelievers or do they condemn other Christians for not being a 'true' Christian?
Which category gets the most condemnation from Christians?

There are millions of Christians, so there's no way to give a definitive response. I can only say that our teachings tell us not to judge non-Christians, but we have a responsibility to judge each other so that our congregations are not destroyed by either false teachings or corrupt individuals (like that guy who goes around disrupting funerals in the name of God). Unfortunately, the modern American church seems to have gotten it backwards. We are so busy criticizing nonbelievers for not acting like Christians (how illogical is that?), yet we too often ignore the dirt at our own front door.

Another generalization.
Not all Christians condemn any one. It is not our place to condemn. But if you are talking about us telling people about the word of God, condemning, then that is a wrong idea of what we are doing. I can't pass judgment on any one, that is not my job. Yes, I believe that every one will one day have to answer to God, but that includes all of us. And people are condemning them selves, when they turn from God.

I'm yet to meet any human being, Christian or any other, that does not pass judgment. But I have never felt such strong looks of hate from any one besides someone from a church, no matter the religion. I'm as spiritual as they come, just on a different path with it.

There is no condemnation in Jesus Christ.
I don't condemn anyone. It is not my place to judge where you will spend eternity. That is between you and God.
Just remember not all Christians judge others...many people that judge are not Christians.

I honestly think that's a toss-up, fruitcake. Of course, I mean only those Christians who are indeed judgemental. It's been my experience in real life that most aren't.

Christians can't condemn, only God can.

To the atheists here, If you don't believe in heaven, How can you visit? It don't exist. It only exists to someone that believed that Jesus Christ died on the cross so that we, who believe, can be forgiven. And when we die, ascend into heaven just as Jesus Did. Praise God!

They say they don't condemn... but will I, who don't believe in their Heaven, be allowed in?
Not that I want in, mind you. Only, what if I want to visit? Will I be allowed in?
Isn't relegating everybody who don't believe as they are to their "hell" condemnation?
Christians do pass judgment, it's as plain as saying your no christian so you are going to hell.

There is nothing funnier than watching Christian denominations claiming that each others doctrines aren't supported in the bible, and that the other is headed to hell for not trimming their toe nails correctly.
Anyone who is quick to claim eternal torture on someone at the hands of the God they worship, has to have a screw loose.
