So, is this article in regards to moral judgement alone?
I ask because whilst I fully support judging people -- and giving it as an act of love to help them grow, as opposed to something malicious intended to make them feel bad -- I agree with your moral perspective. Not to mention the other things in the article about being honest, and not worrying about the critique you receive (if everyone could do that, we could all be completely honest with one another without having to worry about offending those who take good-natured critique as a personal attack).
From my perspective, there are no 'good' or 'evil' people, and so moral judgement really means nothing. I see 'good' and 'evil' actions as being the result of much more complex reasons. What other people call 'evil', I see as just being a person who doesn't realise the error of their judgement. The important question is why --
why are they taking harmful actions? Often, it's because they think it's the best thing to do; an error in reasoning, not morality. People who take good actions for the wrong reasons (ie based on a flawed train of logic) are just as 'bad', in my boat.
So from
that perspective, I would agree that we shouldn't judge. But I wasn't sure if you meant moral judgement, or any kind of judgement.
