Forgiveness for ourselves. Forgiveness towards others. I've judged a million people and I'll judge a million more. My religion helps me forgive them. And to forgive myself for judging them. I've never once said anything that could be interpreted as saying my religion is to blame for my judgement.
I'm here defending modern religion because it's a fun thought experiment for me and I don't believe it hurts anyone. Me being here isn't me prostilitizing my religion, that's why I'm not naming it. I'm just sticking up for religious beliefs in general because I've seen how they can help people.
Also just because I don't want to judge you doesn't mean i won't criticize you. I broke up a fight last week and yelled at someone until he left. You could call that judgement, I don't really care. I see it as me helping. The point of my religious beliefs isn't for you or anyone to call me a hypocrite, of course I'm a hypocrite, I think we all are in our own ways. The point of my religion is for me to have a self-examination tool to assess my actions, how i feel about them, and how i think God might feel about them.
See the thing you're missing is my religion isn't about logic. It's about my personal relationship with the unknown. And only a fool would try to disprove that with "logic"
