Judgment vs. Judgmentalism

I found the following words of Call Thomas such a provoking thought.

"Opinion columnists, like the rest of humanity, walk a fine line between judgment (holding people accountable to a standard we did not create) and judgmentalness (thinking ourselves morally superior because we haven't committed the acts of others)."

I chose to add a little to Mr. Thomas words this morning; can we hold people accountable to a standard we did not create, that being the standard from Holy Write?

"That many on the Left continue to dance on the grave of Richard Nixon and revile George W. Bush does not give the Right permission to engage in eye for an eye behavior. Many on the Right invoke the name of Jesus on Sunday and tear down a politician whose policies they don't like the rest of the week. Tearing down policy is fine, but diminishing the value of a fellow human simply because you don't like his politics (or his personal behavior) is not a good strategy for persuading him to change either. It also raises the level of invective, which is injurious not only to our politics but to the one contributing the invective."

I will not comment on the second quote from Mr. Thomas article.

Just my though as I pass this way today;
