Why are religious people so judgmental?

My husband and I were wondering about this too, and we were talking about it today. I think that they feel that what they are doing is not judging, because they think they are right, and they think they are being nice abut it. I don't agree with that rationalization though. Even if their intentions are good, it's still judgement.

Hi Poison Girl..=) it's interesting topic although i'm not a Christian..I'll talk about religious people in general. I really think it depends on each person. There are some very religious people but not judgemental out there, but also not really religious peopel but judgemental. But if we talk bout the religious judgemental one, i think it's because they think they're always the right one. And what they're doing and following in their life are the right one than what other's faith. I'm one of the religious person, but i realize i'm not that good yet, my knowldege about my own religion you can say very less than my other friends. But i do believe in my God, and that i follow the most right religion at the whole universe. Sounds overreacting huh ? lol but yes, i do believe in it.. Still, that doesn't make me can judge people for their belief or what they do. Even i do wrong too, i make lots of sins in my life, my whole life i can assure u that. One thing i can be sure of, those kind of people you said there just should really think that, they can not force others to follow what they think they're right, and try to respect..that's all..
