To Judge or Not to Judge
•

You’ve probably heard someone say “don’t judge” when you’re trying to tell them what they are doing is wrong and the problem with this is that people don’t know the difference between being a judge (making up your own rules) and enforcing judgement from the law (letting the law judge).
The Bible has two main verses about judging and both tell us not to judge otherwise we too will be judged with the same standards we judged others. Jam 4:11-12 says “Brothers and sisters, do not slander one another. Anyone who speaks against a brother or sister or judges them speaks against the law and judges it. When you judge the law, you are not keeping it, but sitting in judgment on it. There is only one Lawgiver and Judge, the one who is able to save and destroy. But you—who are you to judge your neighbor?” Also Mt 7:1-2 says “Do not judge, or you too will be judged. For in the same way you judge others, you will be judged, and with the measure you use, it will be measured to you.”
Therefore, we shouldn’t judge people based on our own interpretations of what is right and what is wrong, but we should enforce the judgement of the law (the Bible) and use that as our standard of what is right or wrong. So the next time someone says “don’t judge” just tell them you’re not judging them but you’re letting the law judge them.

Or like leave religion out of it. but yeah you can definitely reply with what will most likely weird someone out
Sounds like the perfect way to control people from the top down.
Looks like I'll have to start evaluating people and things instead of judging them. According to what I have read here, I totally failed law school.
You have previously, and repeatedly, insisted that your special book and God's law approve and promise the murder, torture and roasting of infants (inter alia). You approve of this. You have insisted that infants deserve to die and that your book and God are clear on that point.
That is your standard of right and wrong. You have described it proudly. Congratulations. It is depraved.
It is depraved to think that infants are born deserving of death and torture. If you don't get that you are suffering from......... ahhhhhh, but I must not judge.
In passing, on the matter of writing style: your approach is generally clumsy. I find that most people who say "you shouldn't judge" are simply warning of unknown facts which could affect my judgement. Hence, I should be wary. The only people who habitually warn against making any judgements at all, are the people who want to make those judgement for me (and pretend the opposite).... which brings us back to your thesis.
Heaven and earth are indifferent.
All creatures are considered salt dogs;
not distinguished, not judged.
The sage is indifferent.
All people are one;
not distinguished, not judged.
Infinity is like a bellows,
empty yet encompassing the potential
of all things.
In time all potentials manifest.
Words are straw in the wind.
The more one talks, the less one says.
Keep focused on Infinity.
Remain centered in the oneness of
all things.
ach, yet another door-to-door beatnik buddhist.
