That's religious bullying. It's judgmentalism. And it's a theological distortion, a distortion insisting that shame and self-loathing are morally appropriate. In Christian humanist tradition, God is not some cosmic judge eager to smite all of us for our sinfulness. God is compassion. We are cherished by God beyond our wildest imagining. We are called to radical hospitality, not to crass judgmentalism. So where does this religious judgmentalism come from? It is the heritage of medieval theocracy: a violent, vindictive God of command and control was far more useful politically than a God of compassion, hospitality, and forgiveness. It comes from literal-minded misreading of the story of Adam and Eve and the forbidden fruit, a story about shame, not disobedience. And it comes from political success in exploiting deep-seated liabilities in the American soul: we spend our lives trying to "prove ourselves," a hopeless task. There's an alternative. In the Christian humanist tradition, authentic moral judgment is rooted in conscience as a creative process. Morality is an art demanding both rigorous consideration of the facts and thoughtful introspection. Conscience properly understood and thoughtfully practiced is an antidote to shame, incessant self-criticism, and chronic self-doubt." --$cProvided by publisher. 606 $aJudgment$xReligious aspects$xChristianity 606 $aChristian humanism 606 $aJudgment (Ethics) 606 $aFundamentalism 606 $aTheology$xHistory$yMiddle Ages, 600-1500 615 0$aJudgment$xReligious aspects$xChristianity. 615 0$aChristian humanism. 615 0$aJudgment (Ethics) 615 0$aFundamentalism. 615 0$aTheology$xHistory 676 $a241 700 $aWallace$b Catherine Miles$01544491 906 $aBOOK 912 $a9910798567303321 996 $aConfronting religious judgmentalism$93798767 997 $aUNINA
