A lot of people don’t understand Scripture. Or they don’t think it through. If you can’t judge then one can’t say Mother Theresa was a better person than Bin Laden. They also confuse judging with condemning. They are not the same thing.

Kind of like “discriminate”. It’s bad bad bad - no one should “discriminate” - but if people use no discrimination they will eat poison, drink themselves to death, associate with criminals or nutcases, etc.

It used to be said of a person that he used good judgement, or is very discriminating - indicative of using intelligence.

The use of words has deteriorated so that people can hardly speak the truth without great effort and thought. Doublespeak. I should read 1984, I never did, and re-read Brave New World.
