And that's also why part of me doesn't want to be identified as a Christian, because so many automatically think of the judgemental, hate-filled religious right as representative of that group, and to me that's not what it's all about.

I try not to judge others, but sometimes it's hard, especially when they throw themselves out in the public and say things intended to disrupt. But then again, my opinions are shared here on DU, or similar venues, I'm not on TV telling millions how awful someone else is.

Like I said, I try, but it's hard at times. I usually don't ask someone if they're a "Christian" or not, because I really don't care. That isn't something I would use to determine if I liked someone, or if they were trustworthy, or anything else.
