So if it’s WND’s job ... then preach the Word, stop judging people and let the Word do it’s work!

Glenn Beck is right. He’s not judging, that’s God’s work.

Beck’s done a lot of good for this country. Perfect no, he’s the first to admit it.

He’s not sticking his nose in other people’s business. He’s not a preacher either.

Ah, the ole argument that (most of the time) refutes itself.

Here's a lesson: When someone tells you or tells someone to "stop judging," well, what would you call what they are doing at that time? (That's right, they themselves are "judging.")

Now "judging" isn't always wrong. I mean, if we tell our kids not to shack up...well, hey, we're in essence making a moral "judgment" about all those who do -- if only offered up indirectly.

But when we have some moral arbiter here, like Freddd, who says "stop judging" and then adds that Beck's "not judging" and we're supposed to believe Freddd's judgments about who is "judging" and who isn't -- we're talking about an incredible complex level of intricate parsing here.

Freddd, let's just lay it on the table: You're "judging" WND about their "judging."
And you know what? I'm "judging" that you have "judged" WND's supposed "judging."
And then somebody can pipe in and say, "Hey, C, you're 'judging' Freddd about his 'judging'"...
...And we could go on ad infitinum.

Hey, we all "judge." We all make assessments. And some us discern as we do so based upon consistent standards; and others don't. But let's stop pretending that we don't offer up "judgments."

The bottom line here is: Don't tell others to "stop judging" if you yourself are not willing to "stop judging." 'Cause you know, you just wind up preaching to (& refuting) yourself!
