The most judgmental people

(Editor’s note: This was written by John Inman’s step-daughter, Ora Linville. He agreed with it and hopes you enjoy it.)

Why is it that the most judgmental people on earth are Christians? Why is it that even though Christians sing about God's amazing grace, they somehow can't show grace to other people? Why do they delight in casting stones at those who they feel are less holy than they are? What makes them think that they have the right to judge?

This is nothing new; the Bible is full of examples of this very thing. Every time the "judge" is condemned for judging others. Every time there is a reminder that no one is perfect and no one has the right to judge anyone else. Yet, still, those Christians who pride themselves in the knowledge of the Bible, are the worst when it comes to casting judgment on others.

It's no wonder that those who aren't Christians see Christians as being hypocrites. It's no wonder that people would rather take their troubles to a bar than to a church. And you know what? We judge them for that! It's high time that all Christians take a long look at those around them that they have been judging and realize that those people are no worse than they are. "Do not judge, or you too will be judged. For in the same way you judge others, you will be judged, and with the measure you use, it will be measured to you. Why do you look at the speck of sawdust in your brother's eye and pay no attention to the plank in your own eye?"
