Correct.
But -
A. When I talk about judging, I am talking about the behavior where a person sits in judgement of the other, based solely on their particular view, with no regard to circumstance, basic facts, complete story, etc.
B. I almost use them both in every post, because I see a lot of both from a lot of folks who are supposed to be all about turning the other cheek and loving thy neighbor.
It's probably more accurate to simply use the casting of stones example - though I think we're splitting hairs here.
Bottom line - there's an awful lot of people here that could use a healthy dose of humility - and that even includes me from time to time.
This ping list was not about being a liberal, as SeasideSparrow is spewing, or about being minions of the devil.
It's just some folks who scratch their head at a particular form of Christian Love that doesn't seem to resemble anything that we learned in church or from our families. I know that I was always taught to be good to others, polite and respectful. I was also taught that nobody is without sin, and it's not our place or our business to judge other people. God may be a vengeful God, but his Son taught us the meaning of love and grace.
I live in a country where we're free to believe what we want. Some folks don't believe at all - but it's between them and God, and it's not my job to sit around and make holier than thou or derogatory comments about the person in question. And someone else may not subscribe to the same doctrine/denomination than me, but who am I to say which one of us is correct? I don't presume to speak for God....
A lot of others here either learned differently, or are shaming the memories of those that hoped they'd turned into nicer folks.
Now you have the serious, bring-the-group-down reasoning behind the beginning of the ping list. It's all in jest, and as (I think) exnavychick put it - the folks wigging out over it are exactly why we started this good natured list. And, true to nature - they're casting the stones, and "proclaiming their own greatness" (Thanks Poohbah!)Pride, anyone?
I think it just gives us a little hope that there are others out there who can be conservative and Christians without being horse's butts.
Good night.
