It's deeply ingrained. I have known many Christians who believed that God is love, and therefore it is wrong to be judgmental. Homosexuality? Who are we to say that it's wrong? Wicca rituals? Let's not be the first to cast a stone!
For me, caring about others means being judgmental and helping people get on to the right path, and telling them when they are on the wrong path.

We are actually discussing this topic in my Bible study right now.
We just started the topic, and I need to read up on it.
What does it mean to not be under the law?
To: ClearCase_guy
Most people read Mt 7 and just get as far as “Judge not, lest ye be judged”, not realizing that Christ himself goes on to teach us how to judge properly.

Christ was nonjudgemental and His purpose among us was not to judge us- but people sure get confused by that, when they overlook His repeated sermons about the judgementalism that awaits us all by the Father!

Cannibalism? Molestation? Mass Murder?
Sometimes people’s minds are so open their brains fall out.

For me, caring about others means being judgmental and helping people get on to the right path, and telling them when they are on the wrong path. How could caring about people NOT include warning them about the eternal consequences to their sin? Good grief. Don't offend them and watch them end up in hell? I don't think that's really very compassionate. Hell is forever. We are too worried about offending people.
