I have only just discovered the FB page "I Hate Teen Moms" and the unfortunately large group of pages which imitate it. Looking them over has helped me to finally understand why Jesus said "Judge not, lest ye be judged". Clearly, Jesus understood that most people who are extremely judgmental are trying to push away the possibility that they would not measure up to the standards they set themselves, and think that attacking other people they will somehow shield themselves from judgment. Lighten up, people. It won't work. In fact, the best way to feel better about your own failings is the opposite: to be forgiving and understanding of other people.

Yeah, and I think there was something about beams and dust motes and eyes, too.
My mom's a minister. I was raised with Christian ethics. I reject the dogma because it's the only intellectually honest thing I can do; but I internalized the ethics. Because they work and they make a lot of sense.
It is acutely painful to see people who claim to embrace Mom's dogma trampling all over the ethics she instilled in me, and claiming that what they believe is what she believes.
