Substance abuse humor
CNN cameras and microphones picked up President Obama speaking to a man at the UN. Obama expressed hope that the man has quit smoking. Obama says he himself has not smoked in six years, something which is disputed by none other than Michelle Obama. Obama tells the man he quit because "I'm scared of my wife." Way to feed into the stereotypes about your wife, Barack. Way to honor your wife by talking about her behind her back. Weak.

Sure, it wasn't the right thing to say, I agree. But are we being petty and judgmental, perhaps even self-righteous if we pretend we've never let a white lie, or disrespectful word escape our lips? We should all keep in mind "as you judge others, you too will be judged. And with the measure you use, it will be measured to you."
Ryan,
Last year during the election campaign did you explain to people each time Obama told a bald-faced lie? Or did you even bother to inform yourself and seek the truth? Did you play right into his hands by not judging him? Perhaps that is why he got re-elected! Evil triumphs when good people keep their mouths shut.
Christian cognitive misers are prone to conflate the subject of love, because they interpret biblical teaching to their preconceived love heuristic. In their minds, Christian love morphs from a desire to do good (Caritas) to the other into a desire to have benevolent feelings for the other. "Jesus is thus transformed from a moral law giver into a "nice feelings type of guy". Nice guy Jesus doesn't make any demands, he doesn't judge, rather, he is accepting non judgmental, he's always helpful and so on. He becomes like a mother who can see no fault in her son because she "loves" him. Our Lord overlooks everything because he wants everyone to be happy."
