Judge not that ye be not judged. By whatever standard you judge will be used to judge you. .

Matthew 7:1-12 (King James Version)
Matthew 7
“1.Judge not, that ye be not judged.
2.For with what judgment ye judge, ye shall be judged: and with what measure ye mete, it shall be measured to you again.
3.And why beholdest thou the mote that is in thy brother's eye, but considerest not the beam that is in thine own eye?
4.Or how wilt thou say to thy brother, Let me pull out the mote out of thine eye; and, behold, a beam is in thine own eye?
5.Thou hypocrite, first cast out the beam out of thine own eye; and then shalt thou see clearly to cast out the mote out of thy brother's eye.
6.Give not that which is holy unto the dogs, neither cast ye your pearls before swine, lest they trample them under their feet, and turn again and rend you.
7.Ask, and it shall be given you; seek, and ye shall find; knock, and it shall be opened unto you:
8.For every one that asketh receiveth; and he that seeketh findeth; and to him that knocketh it shall be opened.
9.Or what man is there of you, whom if his son ask bread, will he give him a stone?
10.Or if he ask a fish, will he give him a serpent?
11.If ye then, being evil, know how to give good gifts unto your children, how much more shall your Father which is in heaven give good things to them that ask him?
12.Therefore all things whatsoever ye would that men should do to you, do ye even so to them: for this is the law and the prophets.

May he rest in peace. Amen.
I agreed at first thought. I too felt that Steyn should not mock the recently departed, but his article is really not about Michael Jackson the freak, but about our society that worships MJ the freak. It is about our pathetic obsession with celebrity. And now, when the hype is greatest about what a “great loss” the world has suffered is indeed an appropriate time to point it out.
Ahhh...so the Bible teaches that we cannot judge another’s behavior. Makes it tough to hire folks, put people in prison or admire others.
“By whatever standard you judge will be used to judge you. .”
If the standard is, “Don’t sleep with little boys”, I’ll do fine.
Know ye not that we shall judge angels? how much more things that pertain to this life?"
