Like the Romans used to drink from lead cups. Something like that.

    Okay, let me elucidate:

    “Indeed, God commands you to render trusts to whom they are due and when you judge between people to judge with justice. Excellent is that which God instructs you. Indeed, God is ever Hearing and Seeing.” (4:58)

    “Indeed, We have revealed to you the Book in truth so you may judge between the people by that which God has shown you. And do not be for the deceitful an advocate.” (4:105)

    “Believers, avoid being excessively suspicious, for some suspicion is a sin. Do not spy, nor backbite one another. Would any of you like to eat the flesh of his dead brother? You would surely detest it. Have fear of God. Surely God is much prone to accept repentance, is Most Compassionate.” (49:12)

    I can’t recall any other verses I can easily copy paste here but judgement, whatever it means for you, is not forbidden. I mean, how could it be, how could you even teach your children to do right if you couldn’t judge between right and wrong? And furthermore, could we have any sort of moral legal system if we couldn’t judge good from evil? The Qur’an warns against too much suspicion (you gotta believe people are good at heart and have a bit of hope in humanity, I guess) and prohibits spying and backbiting, but I’m not doing any of those. I’m talking to you directly about something we disagree with, but one of us feels persecuted for it, that’s all. If we talk again, assume that if I ignore whatever points you think you’re making, it’s because you didn’t make them and I don’t want to waste our time or make you look even sillier.

      Several people told you that you’re being judgemental and you slept on it and then still insist you weren’t being. By your own logic, you did not self reflect, so you must have been drunk last night.

          In a 15 second search engine session I found multiple Koran verses that say judging people is bad. And obviously from the Bible there is “judge not…”.

          I guess if nothing else you’ve illustrated perfectly why most people think religion is bullshit. You are trying to use it to hurt people while lying and saying it’s to help them. The religious text that tells you not to do that is dismissed while the religious text you think helps you hurt people is super important and is shoved down other people’s throats repeatedly.

          In truth I don’t think all religious people are toxic and impossible to deal with. But interactions like this are exactly why many people believe those things about religious people.
