We possess not the power, yet the ability to judge mankind..this is one of the major things I see wrong with ALL religions. Such fools are we all. Me included here, I'm not stating I'm past being judgmental..just releasing myself.

Some seem to think 'we' can judge through the eyes of God. I realize we cannot, such is my reason for posting this Topic. Why do we waste ourselves judging the person next to us, by their sexual choices, their race/creed/color all the prejudices we consume in our hearts is just wrong IMO..What can we do about it??

No, I don't think it is right to judge another, especially when you may really have no clue about that person....
It has always been said that "actions speak louder than words", and that may well be true, to a degree, but is that really and truly a rule to live by when we do judge another? I don't think so....
There is more to an individual than his or her actions....
And then to judge someone based on scripture or "threw the eyes of God" is even more fatal, if not hypocritical....
The Greatest Teacher in Christianity taught that this was wrong....period.
"Let he who is blameless and just be the one to cast the first stone".....his message was mentioned and taught multiple times.......
Other great prophets have done likewise.
When you judge another, you judge yourself knowingly or unknowingly. We should avoid do such as best we can, for, by human nature, it is easy to do.....

jozuph,
Is there anyone here that does not judge someone else whether wrongly or rightly?
Are you also not judging me as you claim I am judging others...does it matter?
We naturally judge others.....its engrained in each and everyone of us to do so.....
I'm human, and yes, I have unfairly judged others, regrettably, but I do recognize when I do it, and I do try to abstain from doing it further....its simply a never ending vicious cycle.
