Just live your life and let God handle the bad apples. If you come across one and it disrespects who you are and what you believe, have something to say then to them.
Then continue finding the goodness in life through what God has given you. Whatever that might be.
Why spend your time on them and not strengthening the "good apples" together with yourself?

Exactly. We're all a bunch of hypocrites for pointing out each other's wrong doings when we ourselves aren't perfect. Who are we to judge? That is God's territory and we have no right to do so.

I believe the "finger pointing" is matter of pride and ego than it is anything else. I admit, I'm guilty of it myself from time to time.
If it happens to you, I would first look inside yourself and see if there was any justification behind their act. If there is, change it. Life is too short to dwell on the bad in life, so after you've made a commitment to change, simply let it slide off your back.

Even though 'one bad apple' doesn't spoil the barrel
It will affect those around it
only one was sinless, that was/is Jesus
I try to show bad apples that Jesus can make them good again, because rather than avoiding them, I would like them to have what I have found
blessings

Paul wrote, " For everyone has sinned and fallen short of the grace of God".

I am not pointing a finger only saying you need to blood of Jesus to get to heaven.

I agree totally!
So refreshing to hear someone else say this.
I just wish people could "live and let live".
Blessings to you.

I think the point to pointing fingers is to remind those who think they're more perfect than the Almighty that they really aren't.
I mean they really, really, really AREN'T!

No one has the right to judge any one else's sins.

Because if they scapegoat you and point out your flaws, they think no one will notice theirs
