  • CF has always been a site that welcomes people from different backgrounds and beliefs to participate in discussion and even debate. That is the nature of its ministry. In view of recent events emotions are running very high. We need to remind people of some basic principles in debating on this site. We need to be civil when we express differences in opinion. No personal attacks. Avoid you, your statements. Don't characterize an entire political party with comparisons to Fascism or Communism or other extreme movements that committed atrocities. CF is not the place for broad brush or blanket statements about groups and political parties. Put the broad brushes and blankets away when you come to CF, better yet, put them in the incinerator. Debate had no place for them. We need to remember that people that commit acts of violence represent themselves or a small extreme faction.

Clean feeling = less judgmental?

I don't know if I become less judgmental right after a shower, and more judgmental after working out.

However, I think that it may be slightly true, but my suspicion is that those who spend most of their time focusing on the sins of others are trying to overcompensate for something they feel and know if very sinful, that they are guilty or responsible for.

I remember in Jr. High or High School and listening to girls cut each other down about their hair, or their clothes, or their reputation, and the truth was that they really hated themselves, felt insecure, but making another feel bad made them feel a little more superior, a little better. I suspect it is the dirty heart that is the most judgmental, and the fearful heart that cannot acknowledge the fact that there is a possibility that they are wrong in their thinking or belief.

My better half must be the least judgmental person in the world then, she is an absolute neat freak and it drives me nuts.

LOL!

I was also gonna say that this goes along with the fact that the people who are quickest to judge others are usually the ones with the most blood on their hands.

I wonder if they may be right, but have their focus a bit off. Tired, sweaty and in my case likely in soaking wet clothes. Not the nicest of feelings. Perhaps one would be apt to be a bit more judgemental.

But let's try a decent test. 3 groups all sweaty and all. One gets stuck just waiting, one showers and the third enjoys a beer. Bet we find beer also makes one less judgemental.

One of their other tests had hand washing vrs. nothing after watching something. Notice a possible difference? Passage of time and/or loss of focus. 'Time heals all wounds', or perhaps softens all judgements?

Note one little thing. It does not say neat/clean people are less judgemental. In fact it may imply the opposite. If in fact being/feeling lean makes one less judgemental teh neat freaks may actually spend a far greater percentage of their time not feeling clean.

This could be quite interesting if they do some further detailed work.
