My wife and I were having a discussion last night when she accused me of being judgmental. She wasn’t being mean, and she was not trying to fight. In her opinion my statement was judgmental. Instead of reacting to the accusation, I asked a question instead; “How do you define judgmental?” She was lost for an answer at first, then she said, “when you judge these kinds of people because you don’t like them.” I asked another questions; “How am I judging when all I am doing is stating the fact that because of the values I live by, and the Scripture I know and have studied, their life choices are wrong, and I do not like their choices being forced on me?” She had no answer.

There is the problem between Right and Left politics. Name any group holding onto the Left for their Political Support, and you will find several consistencies. The primary being that when you voice any disagreement with their position, life choices, political policies or any aspect of value differences, than you are accused of being judgmental. That is interesting because the primary religion in the world that teaches against being judgmental is Christianity. Another consistency; They only throw scriptural values at Christians knowing they will recoil at the thought of being caught at being judgmental.

Well, let’s dispel that accusation right here and now. Ask anyone you know to define “Judging, or being judgmental”. You will probably find what I have that most people cannot give you an accurate definition. So I went to Wikipedia. Here is what they say;

Judgement

From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia Judgement (or judgment^[1]) is the evaluation of evidence in the making of a decision.^[2][3][4]The term has three distinct uses:

For other uses, see Choice . Choice consists of the mental process of judging the merits of multiple options and selecting one of them. While a choice can be made between imagined options (“what would I do if …?”), often a choice is made between real options, and followed by the corresponding action. For example, a route for a journey is chosen based on the preference of arriving at a given destination as soon as possible. The preferred (and therefore chosen) route is then derived from information about how long each of the possible routes take. This can be done by a route planner. If the preference is more complex, such as involving the scenery of the route, cognition and feeling are more intertwined, and the choice is less easy to delegate to a computer program or assistant. More complex examples (often decisions that affect what a person thinks or their core beliefs) include choosing a lifestyle, religious affiliation, or political position. Most people regard having choices as a good thing, though a severely limited or artificially restricted choice can lead to discomfort with choosing and possibly, an unsatisfactory outcome. In contrast, unlimited choice may lead to confusion, regret of the alternatives not taken, and indifference in an unstructured existence; and the illusion that choosing an object or a course leads necessarily to control of that object or course can cause psychologicalproblems. Just because I don’t agree with your;

• Ideas
• Opinions
• Perspectives
• Political Views
• Life Style Choices
• And any thing else;

DOES NOT MEAN THAT I AM JUDGING YOU, NOR DO I HAVE SOME SORT OF PHOBIA!!!!!!!!! What it means is that I have MY OWN;

• Set of Choices
• Ideas
• Opinions
• Perspectives
• Political Views
• Life Style Choices
• And any thing else;

Next time you find yourself in that situation remember, ask questions, and let them quiet themselves.
