I’ve always kind of felt that saying is completely misinterpreted. I never used to think about it, but as I get older I think it should only refer to where a person spends their afterlife.

The pope recently spoke out against ISIS beheading children in Iraq. — “Who is he to judge?”
We make moral judgments all the time. I was listening to American Family Radio recently (to people a lot smarter than myself) and this subject was discussed. “Judge not, lest ye be judged” is being used to stop all debate on any subject related to morality. They talked about how it is used out of context. The proper context is telling us not to be hypocrites. If a man is having an affair with a married woman, he shouldn’t make judgments about another man doing it.
Matthew 7
1Judge not, that ye be not judged.
2 For with what judgment ye judge, ye shall be judged: and with what measure ye mete, it shall be measured to you again.
3 And why beholdest thou the mote that is in thy brother’s eye, but considerest not the beam that is in thine own eye?
4 Or how wilt thou say to thy brother, Let me pull out the mote out of thine eye; and, behold, a beam is in thine own eye?
5 Thou hypocrite, first cast out the beam out of thine own eye; and then shalt thou see clearly to cast out the mote out of thy brother’s eye.
