As I understand things as far as a Southern Baptist is concerned the Bible is infallible. So I’m trying to figure out what part of the Bible teaches that it is ok to judge others. I mention Southern Baptist because it has been my experience that those are the only people whom I heard judge others.

Here’s a bit of context to explain the reason for this post. I was looking on Facebook earlier and I saw a post regarding Catholicism being a cult and how Catholics are all condemned to Hell. Of course the person who posted this is proud of his association with the Southern Baptist sect of Christianity.

Having been raised Catholic, though I must confess I haven’t seen the inside of a church more than a handful of times in the last 40 years, I know a thing or two about the religion. So I find it truly comical when people like this person get on their soapbox and profess to know what may or may not happen to Catholics come “judgement day”.

Carry on.

Yeah. Went to a baptist church as a kid, sporadically. Judgy and preachy.

We all fall short. I don't need anyone reminding me, thanks. I'll carry my burdens, you carry yours... ya know? 🌫

Gang membership confirmation, they love those litmus tests, you fall, they judge. As I recall, judgement is reserved for the Big Guy, but I'm no religious scholar.

Interesting thing about Baptist, get four of them together and there is bound to be a fifth. :-"

Which Big Guy? Hunter Biden's dad or Jesus'?

I got tag teamed by two Southern Baptists that took exception to me saying I was a Frisbeetarian,

"Frisbeetarianism is the belief that when you die, your soul goes up on the roof and gets stuck."

I told them, "Assuming there is a heaven, you're going to be really surprised when there are Cathiolics, Hindu, Buddhist, Presbyterian, Mormon, etc, etc, etc." At that point they started acting like they were speaking to Old Scratch. ✋

Wait!
Every Independence Day I have a fifth for the fourth...am I a Baptist?
Takes a FOG to see what you did there.

pretty sure that MIA but good guy MattieB is a member.

We had a few c-bid style gift exchanges and stuff many many years ago, and out of the blue he popped up to offer his knowledge of Key West when he heard my daughter is getting married there in a few months...it's just more reason to believe that magic happens here.

I prefer to size up the character of the individual rather than the club to which they belong...though often there is no separation

When I was raised, us kids went to church every Sunday with my Mom. My Dad was a Lutheran. He believes in the Christian faith but didn't go to church too often. My Mom is a follower of Christian Science. So was my grandmother but neither of went to the extreme end that you might read about. Christian Science follows the Bible and the teachings of Marry Baker Eddy and her book called Science and Health with Key to the Scriptures. My Mom is still active in her church (organizer and book keeper) and their reading room

Both are good readings. I cannot repeat any of it word by word but I like to think that I follow those readings and teachings in my daily life as best I can as a human. Are Catholics better than Lutherans better than Baptistist better than better than Christian Science better than Mormans better than Hinduism, Buddhism, Judaism, Islamics and so on?

I would say no. As frank said it comes down to the individual character of the person and not the club that they belong (or chose to claim they belong) to.

I'm not an official member of any church or specific faith or any organized religion but I consider myself a Christian and I do believe in a higher power, who I chose to call God, and his son Jesus.

Pretty much consensus expected. Not that I really GAF about what the proselytizers think. I can run circles around many of their arguments. But, that’s a topic for another day, time and place.

We have a local Christian Fellowship that is the worst with the judgement stuff. I had an employee under me which was hired without my consent (I always did my department interviews before then) and he belonged to that church.

I fielded multiple calls about him verbally berating customers about various thing. Which led to verbally counseling and documenting, all of which he largely ignored. Then he proceeds one day to tell me on a ride a long I had to do with him that he had a men’s group that met 3 times a week. And on the Wednesday men’s group they split into splinter groups where those splinter groups learned how to discuss “what was wrong” about the religions they were assigned in their groups.

I asked him where the line was with proselytizing and being a good Christian were, he didn’t even understand the question.

The basis for companies not allowing religious or political discussions/symbols etc., are quite sound, too many people just cannot control themselves.

Sometimes it's the religion, Jehovah Witness are not supposed to fraternize with non JW people, we had a contractor that was a JW, he good worker and you could tell he wanted to be part of the working group but just could not.

While I was raised going to one particular church, I am not a member of any organized religion and find they all have their fair share of hypocrisy.

That being said, to come on a discount cigar site and complain about any religion is shall we say ..... ill-advised.
