text: why are people so judgmental ? read this question and its responses: http://answers.yahoo.com/question/?qid=1006021411650   some of the answers are just plain mean.  i know some of the people answering come from a christian background, but isn't one of the principles of christianity that judgement is reserved for god?    i think its horrible that most of the people who responded to this guy's question just chose to judge him, instead of really reading his problem and offering him advice he can use.  no matter how much some people want to beleive being gay is a choice, its not.  just like you cannot change your height or your dna, you cannot honestly change your sexuality. too many people try to place their own values on others. unfortunately, some people don't know how to be christian and tolerant of ideas and values that are different from their own. it's one of the problems that i have with the lack of christianity in the "religeous right" today.   first of all, don't place your value of yourself on the opinions of others. you will find a lot of people that are so sure they are right that they are not able to be open minded. they can only see things in their reality, and they will use the bible or some other doctrine to justify their behavior, when in fact, the bible has inconsistencies.   you are who you are, and that's ok. you don't have to justify who you are to anyone else. if you are kind and decent to other people and live a life of love, compassion, respect and tolerance for others, you are living a christian life. the message of the bible over and over and over is one of love. love thy neighbor as thyself. god is love. the theme is repeated. too many people just don't get it.
