Exactly. It's impossible to go through life without judging what is around you - from judging what is a better deal at the store, to what political candidate you should vote for, to what music to listen to. The important part is to just be very careful about it and apply the golden rule - do unto others as you would have them do unto you etc.

Yes, according to the story, Jacob was able to beat God. It is what changes his name to Israel, IIRC. Yes, Lot had sex with his daughters.
You have to understand that there are things we think make up gods, and what the ancients thought made up gods. God's original characterization is almost nothing like the omni-omni-omni character we know today.

I was agreeing that the Bible is judgmental.

LOL. You've got to be a pretty lame God to have some uppity human beat you at anything.

Because people are strange and believe in tradition more than they believe in logic.

Yes, that link works.
thank you.
However, I fail to see what the blogs have to do with the topic at hand.

And why do you say that?

Because of this:
The Bible is basically an instruction booklet on how to judge others.
That you state the above is a strong indication that you have not actually read the Bible.
And your linked blog does nothing to support the idea that you have read the Bible.

Right, but didn't Jesus teach not to judge others? I may be wrong here, but I thought Jesus was teaching about love and forgiveness. Although I do admit, people judge other people just because it says what they're doing is wrong but I thought Jesus was about love. It seems to me Paul was the one who ruined everything.

He says it once in the "he without sin may cast the first stone" story, which is all well and good, but then for much of the rest of the New Testament Jesus spends defining exactly what behaviors are "wrong" and "right" and explaining to everyone all the reasons they are probably going to be damned to hell.
At one point he says it's easier for a camel to go through the eye of a needle than it is for a person to go to Heaven. The trick is, he blames it on God. It's not ME judging you by saying you're a sinner for X, Y and Z reasons, it's my father.
Modern Christians try the same trick. They say 100 judgmental things about gay people, for example, how they are sinners, dirty, unnatural, etc....but then say "hey, it's not me judging, it's God."
It's a cop out in both cases.

Jesus issued a warning, not a commandment, that the standards you use to judge others will be the same standard used to judge you.
Interesting, is it not, how so many Christians get that wrong?

I see, alright.
