“Judge not, lest you be judged.” Matthew 7:1

Yep! That’s what it is!

If I wasn’t feeling so darn lousy from this miserable cold I have, I’d be ranting about this issue. But I’m just not my wonderfully crabby old self when I’m sick. And boy, am I SICK.

I hate being sick, HATE IT. And I’m too tired to think. My sinuses are about to burst out through my corneas. So instead, I’ll let Greg Laurie do the ranting this time. He does a pretty good job, too!

This is usually said about the time you say something they consider “judgmental.” And what constitutes a “judgmental” statement? It’s basically anything about which you have an absolute opinion, and they happen to disagree with it. It’s a situation where you would dare to say something as controversial and unkind as, “No, that’s wrong!”

The response is usually pretty heated. “Who are YOU to judge ME? Doesn’t the Bible say ‘Judge not lest you be judged’?”

By the way, that verse isn’t saying we shouldn’t judge; it is saying we shouldn’t condemn. And no true believer in Jesus should do that. The fact is, I think Christians are the most loving, the most open and the most accepting of others. You can usually find the most narrow-minded people among the ranks of those who claim to be broad-minded. It’s true, isn’t it? Personally, I have found that those who often claim to be the most accepting are in reality the most unaccepting.

A true Christian bases his or her ideas and opinions on a biblical worldview. Non-believers will also have their opinions, based on a secular worldview. Ironically, they will say that they have no worldview, but they really do. They will say they are open to everything, but in reality they are quite closed.

It boils down to this: Everyone has a right to their opinion today EXCEPT the one holding a biblical worldview. Those with a secular viewpoint would rather we just went away quietly, and didn’t express our opinion at all.

So settle down in some cushy contemporary furniture and read the whole thing. The guy makes SENSE, I tell ya!

I’ll be back when this cold is gone. If I survive that long! Gah!

Once again, I’d like to remind my readers that the Crabby Blogging Lady is a humor blog. Yes, I discuss serious topics, and yes, my conversations can be quite caustic at times. But it’s all in HUMOR. Black humor, weird humor, whatever. If you can’t laugh or don’t want to read goofy ranting, then what the heck are you doing here at CRABBY Blogging Lady blog?!

Of course, there are some who don’t find anything I say funny; that’s either because I’m not being funny, or because they have no sense of humor. usually it’s the latter… but nonetheless, this is my ranting blog, I try to present my rants in an entertaining way (kind of like Ann Coulter, but uglier). If you’re looking for feel-good crap, go take a multivitamin or something. You aren’t gonna find much here. And I am a non-discriminator of zingers– politics left and right, kooky religion and atheism, man and women, kids and adults, Bush and Obama…. all fall under my discussion or complaint. Like YOU (unless you are perfect, and I will bet my money that you’re not), I rant also! I rant about DIFFERENT things than some people, and that is what seems to be their main beef; they get offended because I am not upset about what THEY are upset about. Go figure…

Well, here’s a funny picture, OK? Does this help make you smile? Or do you view it as cruelty to cats or picking on felines, and are going to sic PETA on me now?

I’d like to say THANKS to those people who have huge funny bones, who have taken time to leave comments and even smirk a little. You guys outweigh the dissenters, but it’s really weird how supporters can be rather quiet folk, while the dissenting, irate minority is as loud as a jet engine.

Have a nice day, folks.

Is it true that most textbooks, if they teach kids anything at all, are full of blather about how wonderful progressive liberalism and wacko-environmentalism are?

My daughters’ textbooks SURELY don’t mince words. But then, these textbooks are not written by progressive liberals and wacko-environmentalists. My daughter saw this cartoon on a page in her Economics textbook, where the discussion was “humanitarian aid and it’s false hopes to help nations,” and, being smart as whip like her ol’ mom, laughed and laughed.

But I guess you could use such a cartoon for ALL government entities: school budgets, local and state budgets, federal budgets and all the pork and earmarks… Gah! Those idiots! Those sponges!

My poor daughter. She’s young enough to find all this gross mismanagement and criminal activity humorous. Me, I’m crying to the bank….

By the way, where’s all this hocus pocus the “stimulus” billions package was supposed to conjure up??? I thought so– nowhere! Nothing! Nada! I think it was all a Great Big Hoax. Like Haeckel’s embryos, the Peppered Moth, and Paris Hilton’s LP single smash hit. Because a dollar store down the street closed recently. YES, a DOLLAR store! You know the economy is in the toilet when not even the dollar stores can make a profit in this economy!

I love dollar stores! I hated to see this one go, because now I have to travel into the city to get to the nearest one. *shudder* I went there this week and, EGADS the place was shambles, hadn’t been cleaned in months. It doesn’t have to be some kind of luxury resort or Jack Georges outlet, but sheesh, people! Pick up the litter!

Anyway. It’s just awful, the way the government has trashed the economy. And they expect us to believe they can fix it! Gah!

Oh yeah, and speaking of hoaxes…..

Been listening to Liona Boyd today. What an amazing guitarist she is! I would like to know HOW and WHY we are forced to listen to the maniacal monkey music on the radio all day long, while accomplished and superior musicians like Liona Boyd are virtually ignored by the mass media. It’s very aggravating!

I never liked rock music, not even when I was a wild-eyed, zombied public school student in the 80s. If anything, Duran Duran, Cyndi Lauper, and Flock of Seagulls completely repelled me from the propagated monkey music. It sounded like clanging kitchen faucets and was filled with babbling drivel. I’m just glad I was too young to fall into the Rolling Stones, Jimi Hendrix, and Beatles craze, where all they sang about was their hypodermic needles and bodily functions. *barf* And I cannot believe the music of those old retards is still going strong!

Well, there’s a whole WORLD of amazing musicians that never get recognized for their immense talent, you know that? Like Liona Boyd, or Darlene Zschesh, or Martin Smith, or my lovely daughters! It’s a shame. It’s a shame that we have to listen to the monkey music of the chaotic masses from the boombox speakers of the cars that rattle my windows as they screech by. What would the world sound like with Boyd’s Jesu, Joy or Bach’s Allemande, or Smith’s Majesty piped through the speakers? The world would be a heck of a lot better, if you ask me!

If you want to hear a small tidbit of Boyd’s music, Amazon has a sampling of her album Baroque Favorites. It’s heavenly!

That would be me.

YES. As unbelievable as it sounds, I am a spoiled brat!!

I recently grumbled and complained about Amazon’s lousy shipping service lately– how it’s taking them forever to ship my latest few orders out of the warehouse. But Carole, a lady with a good head on her shoulders, left a comment:

I will share everyone’s woes about Amazon’s slow shipping, but I presume all of us are referring to the “free Super Saver shipping”? Because despite the fact that sometimes I have to wait quite a while for my stuff (although sometimes stuff does still come super quick – I ordered a vacuum recently that came within 3 days!), I am extremely happy that Amazon continues to offer FREE shipping at such a low threshold of $25 – I really don’t know any place else myself that offers a bajillion products that ship free for spending only $25. I just make sure I order my stuff well in advance of when I need it, but I really can’t muster a lot of anger about their slowness when they’re giving it to me for free, esp in this economy. My 2 cents.

Carole, you are absolutely right!

I often take advantage of Amazon’s free shipping service (there are other stores that offer it, and I do take advantage of them as well, when I can). It’s FREE!! Who can complain? Of course, I would prefer that Amazon do their best to still give me timely, efficient service and to keep their prospective delivery schedule. But yes, the shipping I refer to is free, and it is wrong of me to complain. I got very spoiled by Amazon, because they have really great prices, loads of goodies, and their free shipping was always so fast. Lately it has not been fast; heck, it hasn’t even been slow. It’s been sloooooooooowwwwwwww. But maybe Amazon is going through some hurdles of their own. I’m sorry, Amazon. I do still love you. You’ve been good to me! :D
