Faith Based Anarchy

Judgment (or judgement ) is the evaluation of evidence in the making of a decision. The term has three distinct uses:

Informal - Opinions expressed as facts.
Informal and psychological – used in reference to the quality of cognitive faculties and adjudicational capabilities of particular individuals, typically called wisdom or discernment.
Legal – used in the context of legal trial, to refer to a final finding, statement, or ruling, based on a considered weighing of evidence, called "adjudication"


I really am not sure I have the right words to describe what I am thinking in this post but I am trying.

"You can't throw the first stone at Newt unless you are perfect." That's a paraphrase of a comment made to me. Besides the fact that no one is throwing anything at anyone, stone or otherwise, the statement is outlandish.

But this is just one of the many slogans of the pseudo-religious who  
determine that lawlessness is the order of the day. They insist that "the law is done away with! You cannot judge anyone!" "We are free from law and judgement."

Are you?

Police and the armed forces had better find new jobs. Today we do not need armies because law is gone. No one can judge anything or anyone at all anymore. We cannot judge the terrorism that brought down the World Trade Center buildings. After all who are we to judge?

It is a faith based anarchy movement that is making the rounds.
No one can judge anyone on anything. Yet these people usually demand capital punishment and take people to court all the time. But they have done away with the law. They have done that on their own and demand that others forsake it as well. No law, no crime after all and everyone is free as a bird to do as they please. And  if there are laws, then you are forbidden to apply them to anyone's actions. That is too judgemental.

I wonder what you can make a decision according to these enlightened ones? Can you judge a person's opinions? Can you judge the record of their performance?
They say no.
Yet, these same people judge others all the time.

They are willing to judge Hitler, Stalin, etc. Something goes wrong there with the goofy religious fervor doesn't it? How do these people feel about the Nuremberg trials I wonder. The same kind of people had plenty to say about OJ and Michael Jackson and just of late the mother accused of killing her daughter. Tons of judging.

But no, judging a man's character is off limits as you can judge only if you yourself are flawless in performance or have a completely flawless record in all you do. You cannot judge anyone else's foreign policy unless you yourself have a flawless record on that subject yourself. Let's not judge a man's tax paying record unless we ourselves are totally up to date on that.No, we cannot judge anything because the pseudo religious nut cakes have said so.

There is a difference between judging someone's actions and judging them irredeemable because of those actions. But, while it is possible for someone to change, we usually do not want to wait for that to happen when considering them for a very important office.

  1. The idea of non-judgementalism never made much sense. If we cannot judge good for bad, then we're unable to tell the two apart.

  2. The admixture of good with evil has permeated all facets of life these days, as the Geula nears the Satan is very busy. One must hold unto his/her ability to choose between in every situation one finds oneself ... HaShem is testing everyone.

  3. I call it the self interest rationalization of the ends justify the means. The SOB you know is safer than the one you need to vet after the fact.
