I understand what you are saying, Russ, but maybe you misunderstand me. You might judge someone's actions to be unacceptable, and want to do something about them. You might judge, in law, that someone has committed a crime and needs to receive punishment.

What I'm talking about is judging other people themselves, which feeds the ego. This is different from deciding that someone might need your help or guidance, attempting to give it, and finding they are unwilling to accept it -- usually there are lessons to be learned on both sides in such cases. To repeat what I said before, we are all manifestations of the divine and we all walk our spiritual paths. I think it's very important to recognise the divine in others, including our enemies, hence Jesus' teaching about loving your enemy -- this does not mean "do nothing about your enemy's actions." This teaches us to act from a place of compassion, rather than anger or revenge or perceived superiority. I believe this is expressed in what I also quoted above, "Whatsoever you do to the least of my brothers, that you do unto me." When we measure ourselves and others, we lose sight of the fact that we are all equal parts of the divine; some are simply further along their spiritual paths.

Some people believe that Satan or demons actively try to turn people from the path of light. Whether you believe that dark forces are working to do this, or that some people are simply misguided and make bad choices rooted in fear, accepting one of these two possibilities again shifts the problem from the person to their actions. You can have compassion for the person, who is in need of help, while doing something about their actions. This is different from judging people to be evil, ungodly, etc. I don't personally believe that anyone is.
