Are you referring to "If you're so against judging others, then why do you devote an entire blog to it?"
I am not judging anyone in my Blogs. I am pointing out what I see as flaws in organized religions. Please feel free to read through my blog and find anything you think is a judgment and point it out to me.
You can not deny that there are Christians here on BN who do nothing but Judge others in their Blog, and you defend their views, I've seen it. I have at no point said an religions were evil or wrong. I said I did not agree with them and that they are hypocritical.
These are my views.

Recently I read a blog from someone who wasn't a Christian who didn't think it was fair for others to Christian bash. They said that they themselves are open to and friends with all kinds of people, including Christians. I wish I would have saved it to favorite so I could remember whose it was, but in the course of my month here, I have heard similar sentiments echoed. Some of these are also about media bias. By the way, you didn't answer my question in the last comment.

What have you been reading?
I have had many, many comments that have been postive. I do not know of anyone that you are referring to. I seen a few people remark about my blogs in a negitive way, and most of them have been Christians.

When have I personally said any of that? There you go stereotyping again. If you're so against judging others, then why do you devote an entire blog to it? I don't have a blog devoted to criticizing atheists, agnostics or people of other faiths--in fact, my harshest statements have been criticisms of other Christians who don't walk the talk. Today I poked a little fun at you in my Who's Who, but Christians certainly didn't invent the art of parody. My pointing this out to you is not my because I'm a Christian either--in fact non-Christians see your kind of blog as hypocritical and have said so.

I would just like to point out to you that, 'You are seeing them through very prejudiced eyes and judging them as morally inferior, based on a handful of your own personal experiences and a multitude of claims from biased sources that you can't personally confirm.' By telling me the same thing I have been saying about organized religion, you put yourself on a high horse. This is the problem I have with organized religion. You do think you are better than those of us who do not believe.
I would bet any amount of money that I am a much less judgmental person than the average Christian. I say this because I have known many Christians and they have all been more judgmental than I.
I so love it when someone says 'The very tolerance you preach is contradicted by the intolerance you practice, which is evident by how you stereotype millions (yes, millions) of people, and write them all off as contributing nothing but harm to the world.' while at the same time they would go off about how evil pagans, druids, Buddhist and such are. I defend them all the same myself and do not judge people on the religions. I will judge the teaching of the religions however, because that is where the problem is.

Kooka and all other "organized religion" protesters
(In case you didn't see this comment on MHW's blog) By lumping all Christians and "religious" people into one category and writing them off, you are illustrating MHW's point in this blog entry and the last one. The very tolerance you preach is contradicted by the intolerance you practice, which is evident by how you stereotype millions (yes, millions) of people, and write them all off as contributing nothing but harm to the world. You are seeing them through very prejudiced eyes and judging them as morally inferior, based on a handful of your own personal experiences and a multitude of claims from biased sources that you can't personally confirm. I don't visit your blog because I don't want to subject myself to insults and false accusations, but when you come to another blog defending your anti-Christian stance, I will take up arms--because the sword of truth is sharper than any cutting words, which is the reason I so appreciate MHW. Though he and I have had our share of disagreement, we found enough common ground (something that can happen through "organized religion") to make peace, gain understanding of each other, and hold each other up in prayer to become what God wants us to be. It may all sound quite silly to you, but it's a whole lot more productive than being stuck at ground zero with preconceived ideas.
