We all judge others
Gomedome's blog itself is judgmental. For someone to say they're not judgmental is in itself a judgmental statement (besides being a lie), because it says as much about other people as it does about yourself. The major religions of the world that do teach "do not judge" are generally not taken as "do not teach/instruct." Teaching and instructing religious truth by necessity is going to carry with it "thou shall live in such and such manner." Agreeably some people are asses about this. But, as I always say, being an ass does not preclude one from being right. It just makes you an ass.

Masky_ - the funny part is that quite often those who would condemn others
will add that only God can judge us in the same breath.

Gome...buddy...I feel your pain!
I believe some things, but not others and stating that gets me in trouble with some Believers...that and my rowdy, live life on the edge behavior. What confuses me...if we are to be judged by one man alone or spirit, entity, whatever, why do so many people waste their time passing judgement on that that they'll never get acknowledgement for in passing their judgements??? I mean...what gives? What does their judgement really matter in the end to THEM or those they judge? Makes my mind cramp a little!

Masky_ - I've had more than a few fervent folks tell me that I am going to
"pay" for being me come judgement day.
The thing that always surprises me is that most of these people have a lot of room for improvement themselves. With "room for improvement" being as kind as I can possibly say it.

TheDirector - I have something to tell God on Judgment Day as well
"Please God . . . can you do something about your fan club members?"

LOL!!!! I love your take on things!!! I take your posts seriously...but sometimes your sarcasm makes me laugh. I don't worry about "Judgement Day"...I'm like a chameleon...I'll adapt where ever I end up.

I have something to tell God on Judgment Day ~ "You began our innocent lives with dirty money. Washing~TON. You can't deny it. Then you let the jerks base our personal relationships upon that dirty money. I bowed out of that filthy trick. You can answer for it yourself, God."
