No justification required. It is impossible to not make judgements.
We have no more choice in whether we make judgements than we have in whether or not we eat, sleep and breathe..
"Choice" is relative to one's perspective and expectations.

My ego plays no role in it.
I'd much rather not have to call someone out. If people would just act right they wouldn't need to get checked.
If that’s not a joke it’s absolutely hilarious.
Otherwise it’s mildly amusing.
Whose is it to determine what is "right?" Can this be done objectively?
See that's ego right there.
This thread was inspired by a comment was made by a member here that some people just need to be stood up to, but I, personally, have spend a great deal of time contemplating judgment and its practical and moral value. I'm interested in others' perspective on this topic.
For many, especially those of the Abrahamic faiths, judgment is a key tenet in their faith or worldview, with God ultimately passing judgment on all.
At what point is one justified to pass judgment on another for their religion, worldview, or actions?
What is the basis or foundation of such judgment?
At what point is one justified in "standing up" to another? Is it justified even when the actions of another have no impact on the person passing judgment?
In your opinion, what are the implications, positive or negative, of judgment?
Judgement in the sense of the Abrahamic religions is the judgment of ones soul, by God. For a human to judge a person soul to heaven or hell, this is sin.
I don't care if someone agrees with my reasoning of an a-hole being an a-hole or not. If someone is being an a-hole I have no problems telling them "hey, a-hole, knock it off".
The practical purpose is to call them out. A lot of the times, people are being a-holes and they don't even realize it. So when you stop em and check em. There is a small change they might realize it themselves then snap out of it. Though this rarely happens anymore. Peoples egos rule now, so there is very little self reflection/discipline/responsibility anymore.

If I don't first limit the scope of my response, it won't make much sense because I can't make a statement that will apply equally to judgments about "religions, worldviews and actions" as noted in the OP. They are three very different categories.This thread was inspired by a comment was made by a member here that some people just need to be stood up to, but I, personally, have spend a great deal of time contemplating judgment and its practical and moral value.

I should have thought that was obvious. Once you have decided so and so is an *******, certain actions follow. You avoid them, you confront them, you encourage others to oppose them or watch out for them, and so forth, depending on the situation.Who said anything about sin?
How is judgment exclusively about another going to hell or not? In my experience, my own judgment can place me in hell.
By what objective foundation are you judging what an ******* is? If you think one is an *******, should everyone consider this person as an *******?
What is the practical purpose in calling an ******* an *******?
Like you identifying what is "right" was so susbstanced and nuanced.Little less ego little more substance pumpkin.

And an intentionally demeaning pet name is sure not a sign of ego. Not at all.
Projection, thy name is Enoch.Ah ha, but had his ego been kept in check to begin with I wouldn't have to check it for him. I didn't confront him, he took it upon himself to be show that ego.
Projection, thy name is Enoch.
We all pass judgement all the time; life is about judging the situation... It is when people use religion as a way to condemn another it oversteps certain lines.At what point is one justified to pass judgment on another for their religion, worldview, or actions?
If we see a blindman about to fall in a pit, do we not make an effort to help them; so personally think if we are clear enough to show evidence, not condemn another, and lead to further comprehension, this is good...At what point is one justified in "standing up" to another? Is it justified even when the actions of another have no impact on the person passing judgment?
