Religious discussions about not judging others hold no weight with me. We make judgements about people all the time, mostly out of pure necessity.
It might be true that God judges the heart, and we can misjudge others because things can appear one way but be motivated by something else we don't know about. But still, do you know of a better way to see what's in someone's heart than by their actions?
Everyone is right in his own eyes, including the pedofiles you decry. They often get up in court and claim they were being "loving" and not at all hurting the child(ren). So to me it's not all relative, and not all mere perspectives. Some lines, once crossed, once you do the action, you can justify yourself all you want, but you are wrong, guilty, and your heart has to be pretty damn twisted and evil if you think you were "loving."
Personally, I am a believer in God, but I will be politically incorrect and say that the adherents of many a religion have body language that resembles nothing more than mass hysteria and collectively going-through-the-motions hypocritically in their worship sessions. I can understand the sentiments of someone saying "Been there done that! Yuck! No thanks!" which is where this discussion thread branched out of.
