Can I judge someone's religion as wrong without being called a Bigot?

Your question seems to be based on some non-existent condition. Tolerance doesn't require people to support things they don't support.\n\nPeople actively oppose all manner of things, not the least of which is other people's choice of religion or philosophical beliefs.\n\nYour question seems to lack foundation in fact, you are free to oppose anything you want, just as others are free to oppose your opinions & beliefs.

I not believe that it is not in our place to judge anyone based on their sexuality or anything else for that matter. There are many instances I can site for people who are trying to emulate God or Jesus who should not even try to judge anyone. In trying to emulate Jesus, we judge homosexuality as a sin but when Jesus was here, it was rather the people who were outcast by people that He spent his time with. Prostitutes, cheaters, lepers........ \n\nIt says in the bible that it is by His grace that we are saved. Anyone judging someone based on his sexuality is not doing anyone any good because there are so many other things he is doing that is only grace that is going to save him. Most importantly, the bible also says love your neighbour as yourself. It does not say consider his sexuality, his skin colour, his money or anything else. The reason why most people fail with that is because we do not even love OURSELVES.

nothing is wrong with it, people jus see their religion as precious and therefore unquestionable.\n\nplus religion gives people warm fuzzy feelings, anyone who would want to come and maybe take away the thing that givesd them those feelings... well theyre gonna be defensive.

Before proper conduct?\nWe are not to judge a person.  Maybe point out their actions that is wrong, but not the person.  The person we are simply suppose to love them as Jesus loved people.

To the person in front of me (you do not have a username?): why is it that people are always quick to label those who speak up against what is wrong "judgemental"?  You're right, it is in GOD'S (singular, not plural) final  authority to judge, but aren't we whom are created in His image, His hands and feet?  Shouldn't we give a damn when our fellow brothers and sisters are acting immorally?!\n\nIt is NOT only his opinion, it is God's!  So take your complaints up with God, because HE made the rules!  You are not moral if you disagree with God - period!\n\n"Moral" people who don't follow Jesus are not really moral, it's just an illusion!  Because they don't truly follow God, they still places themselves on this pedastal where THEY get to decide what is right and wrong.  No, no, no; there can't be five different "acceptable" ways to look at one wrong thing.  There can only be one; that is just the facts of the law.  When you put in man, however, that is when we get many crazy ways of looking at what is wrong.

Of course, your question 'do you still think I am in the wrong group' will raise the ire of those whose belief systems are more rigid and dogmatic than your own.    If this religion suits you, who am I to tell you that there is something better somewhere else?  So, go on, surprise us then.....  you're a Hindu following the Smarta tradition.  Am I right?  The only thing you have not mentioned is reincarnation, but that would have given it away.

I would have to also say that even with a God it would still be offensive.  There is a lot of hatered in the Bible that is justified only because God says it is ok. If authority comes from the people and I am a person, I take its authority over me and judge it as evil.

That is a matter of your own opinion. Just because someone doesn't have the same beliefs as you that does not make that person a idiot. You are just stereotyping that individual which is not right because if you are religious I doubt your religion consist of being judgmental towards others and not to mention rude.

I'm a Humanist who believes in freedom of religion.  You have as much right to practice your religion (so long as it harms no one) and share it with others (without forcing it upon them) as anyone else.  Don't be bothered by those petty people who would deny you the same liberties that they consider their right.  You can't make them respect you, but you can set a good example for us all by showing how fair and reasonable a Druid can be.

I will agree that many go off of hear-say!\n\nmany people judge other religions off there own, because they are mutually exclusive.\n\nFor example, Jesus says he is the only way to a right relationship with God, so the others must be excluded.\n\nChristianity says God came to man for salvation, most other religions say your works gain you favor with God, again it can't be both!\n\nAs for half truths, people like to be God and choose what they like from religions. \n\nSome like the salvation of Christianity , but don't like that God disassociates himself with homosexuality. So they take the Love aspects of God, but dismiss the Just aspects of God!

It is your call to decide what is right and wrong for YOURSELF. Telling others what is right and wrong for them is being judgmental.\n\nMorally speaking, I would suggest Matthew 7:1-2\n" Do not judge, or you too will be judged. For in the same way you judge others, you will be judged, and with the measure you use, it will be measured to you."  and John 8:7 "He that is without sin among you, let him first cast a stone"

Religion is one of those subjects that no one is wrong or right in any discussion. One must believe in there own way and allow others the same right. If the lord is coming remember, he/she is all knowing and will be judge accordingly.Even the righteous aren't always right.

You know, I don't even really mind that some religions think others are wrong.  That's to be expected.  What bugs me is that most religions feel the need to convert people who don't wish to be converted.  By their very nature, a person's religious beliefs exclude all OTHER religious beliefs.\n\nThe REAL issue at stake, I think, is how we deal with that.  You and I don't have the same beliefs.  I think yours are wrong (not morally wrong, merely incorrect), and you think mine are wrong.\n\nSo what?  So we don't agree.  Big deal.  Doesn't bother me a bit.  I am perfectly okay knowing that there are other systems of belief out there that do not match my own.\n\nBut there are FAR TOO MANY people in the world that simply cannot abide that someone else out there would DARE believe something different.  And even more frightening is the number of people who would take some kind of action against "the faithless" or "the infidels" or "the unbelievers," or whatever they are calling us this week.

If I am not mistaken, I don't think this was a generalization made that all non-beilievers are mean spirited and cruel.  (At least I hope not)  I think that each religion gets misunderstood at one time by those not of that religion, and some people just don't know how to address what they don't understand. There are those that do.  They respect the fact that everyone is entitled to their own beliefs.  I am a Christian, I believe, but i do not force my beliefs on anyone. i may share something about God, but I cannot judge anyone if they do not believe--and I don't think we should judge and ridicule each other.

Why are some people so offensive about other peoples religion?
