Well, the real Jesus would say "judge not lest ye be judged," which is another thing his Fan Club gets wrong.

Save Christ; get rid of the Christians. We should just rescue Christianity. Take the smartest million or so secularists, retain everything worthwhile from Scripture and the Gospels, flush the rest down the Memory Hole, attribute our reading to God, and apply for tax free church status. Ya know, do what every religion has done.

The smart people had all left the Christian sects by 1750, which explains why it's so lame today -- it's had 270 years of nothing but morons running it. Time to literally smarten it up. Let's save Christianity. It was useful once. Let's enter the marketplace of religions and kick some olde tyme as-s.

Matthew 7:1. Very nice.

May I provide the next (Matthew 7:2):
"For as you judge, so will you be judged, and the measure with which you measure will be measured out to you."

Mt 7:1 is not an admonishment against judging but a warning about what comes if you do (Mt 7:2).

If it is a warning about what comes if you do something, by definition that is an admonishment.

ad-mon-ish-ment

noun
  1. a firm warning or reprimand.
 
It doesn't say "don't judge"; it says "judge as you would choose to be judged".
Kind of that whole "do onto others as you'd have them do onto you" vibe.

If you judge, do it justly (and hold yourself to the same standard).
Mt 7:5 goes on to talk about the dangers of hypocrisy.

Using Mt 7:1 alone isn't the whole story.

That's interesting. I had always thought of it as "Judging is MY business. You stick to whatever it is you get up to in the bushes that you think I care about (Spoiler: I don't; you disgust me.)."
 
The Satanic Temple has filed a lawsuit in the United States District Court for the Southern District of Texas Houston Division alleging that certain state-mandated abortion restrictions violate TST members' religious beliefs.

Thinking of this as the L and T in LGBT. Why so many of us in the Alphabet Mafia are either kicked out of churches or told "you can attend, but you can't serve or lead in any capacity" is not because we're part of the Alphabet. It's because we dared to defy what they consider "normal," and if you go outside their definition of "normal," it's unforgivable.

I don't understand why you'd want in in the first place.

Unless you're trying to save them?
 
Speaking of astrology, I've been told I'm a gifted writer. I thought about writing horoscopes, but that conscience I don't have? It got to me?
