I notice he did not say that all belief systems MUST be condemned, only that people should have a brain about life around them. Teach your kids about the nutbar goals and beliefs of white supremacist groups, for instance. He didn't say anything about flogging anyone.

You seem to be proud to do what he suggested (judge and where apropriate condemn). However, your judgment appears suspect. Perhaps you had no intention of fairness?

In any case, if you disagree with the principle. then why would you exercise it? You are stepping on your own hands.

I notice he only said that people must be WILLING to judge. Hardly fair to accuse him of wishing to live in New England, travel in time, hang people, or tamper with the Constitution. The Constitution does not prohibit judging or thinking. Perhaps you are using an unauthorised copy, huh!

we must not disregard the "imaginary" beliefs of others...and we must never be unwilling to
judge them, or to condemn them
