The world is full of a lot of fear and a lot of negativity and a lot of judgment. I just think people need to start shifting into joy and happiness. As corny as it sounds we need to make a shift.

Our family was too strange and weird for even Santa Claus to come visit... Santa who was jolly - but let's face it he was also very judgmental.

If all Church power vests in the clergy then the people are practically bound to passive obedience in all matters of faith and practice for all right of private judgment is then denied.

True fans of the Constitution like true fans of the national pastime acknowledge the critical role of human judgment in making tough calls. We don't expect flawless interpretation. We expect good faith. We demand honesty.

I am an Episcopalian who takes the faith of my fathers seriously and I would I think be disheartened if my own young children were to turn away from the church when they grow up. I am also a critic of Christianity if by critic one means an observer who brings historical and literary judgment to bear on the texts and traditions of the church.

No human race is superior no religious faith is inferior. All collective judgments are wrong. Only racists make them.

Any critic is entitled to wrong judgments of course. But certain lapses of judgment indicate the radical failure of an entire sensibility.

Failure is simply a few errors in judgment repeated every day.

Judgment comes from experience and great judgment comes from bad experience.

When I was young I was just about hard work. But as I got older I did experience anxiety doubt judgment and it's so easy to lose yourself for a second.
