We generally, that is those of us who believe in G_d leave the judging to Him. Even the Atheists abide by this rule here.

From looking at other threads, I don't buy that.

On this thread, I agree it is inappropriate so I'm not saying anything about Ms. Faucett's choices in her life.

But I see values and judgements used all the time in other threads. That's what judging is - looking at data and facts and coming up with a system of values. I don't see how we can say acitivity X is not ok for me but is fine for anyone else to do. Isn't that more how libs work? (in reverse, that is)

God will certainly judge us all in the end. But we do have a level of responsibility while we are on this earth to live our lives - and influence others to live theirs - as God would have us.

But I understand what you're saying. Perhaps you can tell me how to use values in my own life, yet be completely accepting of all the immorality I see? Especially with family and close friends. Do I say nothing at all, ever? Or only when asked? And what about how the children are impacted - what would God have me do with them? It's quite a dilemma.

I agree with you. The ugliness and hate on threads has been awful. Why is it OK to say terrible things about people and then when they die everyone suddenly becomes pious? I bite my tongue and try to stay away from those threads.

God judges us on how we live each day - each day.

I think we all liked Farrah and it is for God to judge us all. Now Michael Jackson has just had a major heart attack and they are running him down on a thread.
