From my readings judgement wasn't left to mere mortals either.......................
Jesus frequently called upon his followers to make judgments. Not to condemn, but to discern or make a distinction (i.e. right vs wrong). It is necessary to make good and wise judgments in everyday life. So hog-tying the issue by saying Christians "aren't supposed to judge" is ridiculous and shows a miniscule knowledge of Jesus' basic tenets.

You have absolutely no idea what you're talking about. Instead of being humble and ashamed, you try to justify your bad behavior. Truly, Jesus is weeping.
Matthew 7.1-5: Judge not, that you be not judged. For with the judgment that you pronounce you will be judged, and the measure you give will be the measure you get. Why do you see the speck that is in your brother's eye, but do not notice the log that is in your own eye? Or how can you say to your brother, "Let me take the speck out of your eye," when there is the log in your own eye? You hypocrite, first take the log out of your own eye, and then you will see clearly to take the speck out of your brother's eye.
You need to figure out the difference between passing judgment and mere observation. Do some reading on the subject. Talk to your pastor. Try being a righteous Christian and not a self-righteous Christian.

I know I am a "bad one" and a True Heretic, always have been. And am neither righteous nor self-righteous Christian. I gave it up when I discovered BY READING that Paul took over the movement and bastardized it beyond recognition. Since one of my degrees is in Theology, I am my own pastor. Wanna be a follower?!

Ah, then you know the truth, yet intentionally misrepresent the scripture. I think I'll take a pass on following one who would do such a thing, thanks all the same.

Be careful who you follow.

Charlatan in Chief would definitely fall into both categories.
