You should read some of Paul’s Epistles to Christian churches, or the books of the prophets in the Old Testament sometime. Judaism and Christianity allow for people to be read the riot act when they sin and do wrong. Pagans are the ones who do as they please with no biblical morality and no conscience. Sort of like Tiger.

I am not saying you can't read him the riot act, I am just amazed at the absolute vitriol spewed forth rather than civilized, logical, respectful criticism.

But it Paul also exhorts followers of Christ to not cast judgment on non-believers, for we were once in the same place.

“Judaism and Christianity allow for people to be read the riot act when they sin and do wrong.”

You’re so right. Judgment is rampant throughout both Testaments. Ten Commandments creates a baseline for setting standards by which to form judgments.
