DD, you should post that on the stupid rw blogs you read to remind all the "Christians" about the not hating your neighbor part

The point was to remind grumbler that judgement isn't a problem from a biblical perspective depending on how it is approached. Hypocrisy is a problem though.

It's like the Bible is a complicated book or something.

There's something for everyone (to justify their own opinions with while disregarding everything else in the Bible)

Pretty sure you can't lie about people giblets

[giblets]

Then you should probably stop

Leviticus is old testament, pre-Christian stuff. I agree that the imaginary Angry God of the OT had no problems with judgementalism; the people who made him up made him chock-full of hypocrisy and judgement. I was just noting the supposed "Christian" attitude towards judgement.

This thread is for arguing against feminists. Will you please take your atheist non-sense to another thread?

There's no such thing as NT only Christianity.

[giblets]

That's surprising considering that thousands of versions of Christianity exist. Maybe there's still room for more.

I have no idea what this means. I presume it means something to the religiously initiated of your sect. In any case, please don't quote me and then throw out these kinds of non sequiturs. The point to which you responded has nothing to do with NTs (real or imagined).

[Kidlicious]

It doesn't matter. Go read the NT. If you don't know what you're talking about, stop talking.

Between the evangelical who believes in the Bible and reads it obsessively, and the atheist who thinks it's all lies and dismisses it, I'm not sure why we should trust the latter over the former when it comes to having a better-informed and cohesive notion of the whole thing. Especially not when the atheist's notion happens to imply that Christians should be docile, quiet and inoffensive or else somehow be inauthentic.

[grumbler]

It is true that I find the Christians who reject the example of their Christ (who was very much the docile, quiet, and inoffensive guy himself, according to the sacred Christian texts I have seen) to be "inauthentic" as regards their professed beliefs. I don't believe that more than 1% of them actually believe what they say they believe, however. Authentic "turn the other cheek" Christians are rarer than compassionate conservatives (and there are only four of the latter in the entire US).

Again, though, that doesn't bother me. I enjoy non-judgmentally pointing out the hypocrisy of others and enjoy being judiciously judgmental without being a hypocrite myself.

[Kidlicious]

Jesus was none of those things. Where do you get your information. Clearly not from the Bible.
