We are not supposed to judge. That's Gods job.

According to scripture, God's job is to judge a soul as being worthy of entering the kingdom of heaven. We may not do that. As far as doing the other kind of judging, I do it all the time and proudly. So does everyone, including those who rebuke people for being judgmental.

the scripture says: judge not, lest ye be judged. I wasn't trying to rebuke anyone. I wasn't simply stating my religious beliefs. And yes, I'm sure I judge too at times. I guess not really saying don't judge, but I guess I'm saying it can go too far and then you are playing God.

All I can say that I think a large part of the problems is that too many people have decided to hate because of their religious beliefs.

I think it's the other way around; I think people use/distort religious teaching to lend weight to their prejudices.

I agree, vfp, many do use/abuse/distort their religious teachings to fit their own prejudices.
