> Nobody wants a watered down faith that doesn't judge. Why be Christian at all? When you actually read the Gospel, you will realize that Jesus was actually the guy who was the least judging. He ended up being called "a friend of tax collectors and sinners". And somehow the Church became something else, with several attempts over centuries to go back to the source. Sometimes they would split like Luther, sometimes they would try to do their thing inside like Francis d'Assisi, but each time it started with a negation of the status quo.

Ah yes, Jesus the least judging: "You hypocrites, scribes and Pharisees!" "You Pharisees, brood of vipers!" "The fact is, you have had five husbands, and the man you have now is not your husband." "Woe to you, Chorazin and Bethsaida!" "You have turned [this temple] into a den of thieves!" "It would be better for him if he had never been born." "Get thee behind me, Satan!" Now those are the negative judgements. Of course a positive and favorable judgement is, likewise, judgement, even if you want to conveniently omit that from your assessment: Jesus had a lot of blessings to pronounce and salvation to announce and people to send to Heaven, those are, indeed, judgements that He made, so if you want to say that "Jesus was actually the guy who was the least judging" then you're going to erase all the good He does, and that'd be a crying shame. Judgement is central to Christ's mission. We want to be judged by Him and nobody else. We stand before Him at every confession and receive His judgement. "He will come again to judge the living and the dead" is built into our Creed. The righteous should absolutely welcome and anticipate His judgement with great joy. Because He is the most humble and meek and kindest Judge that you could ever meet.

  This is really just cherry picking quotes in order to justify being a judgemental asshole behind a thin pseudo religious shield.
