When I read things, or hear things of people disrespecting God, making jokes about him, or just saying plain nasty things about him. I can't help but clench my teeth and just want to sock the person out! I can't help but judge them. I think "how could they have the GUTS to disrespect my father so much". I get so angry inside! I just want to scream at them and slap some sense into them!
And I know I'm not suppost to judge, but how can't I when they disrespect the person I love most in my life?!

I'm afraid she's being both biblical and un-biblical here.
Now, to be fair, it's not nice to have your beliefs disrespected, but this idiot is responding in totally the wrong way. Oh, and if you can't take people making jokes about God, GO FIND A SENSE OF HUMOUR NOW! HURRY!
Well, in that case you are not understanding the backbone of the matter. If you can´t follow a God-sanctioned command because you think it´s different, you´re not really a Christian. What you´re is a fascist who is angry, not because they insult God, but because you think that your lifestyles is threatened.
Where in the bible does it say that you cannot judge? All it says that you will be judged in the same way as you judge others.
Because even Jesus said that you would experience stuff like that as a Christian. And, although he said that being his follower would be joyous and fulfilling and rewarding, the one thing he never said it would be is easy.try to follow the example of the man you claim to love so much.
Guts? Nah, just common sense, and perhaps a nasty sense of humour. But telling your "saved" peer group that you're in favour of abortion, evolution, personal freedom, etc., now that takes GUTS.
"When I read things, or hear things of people disrespecting God, making jokes about him, or just saying plain nasty things about him."I am not duty bound to respect your belief in ridiculous twaddle. In fact, as a rational human being, it is my responsibility to point out how misguided people are when they allow ancient fairy tales and imaginary beings to rule their lives and influence society.
"I can't help but clench my teeth and just want to sock the person out!"
That's not going to help.
"I can't help but judge them."
Just think of how proud your imaginary friend, Jesus, would be if you could resist judging.
"I think "how could they have the GUTS to disrespect my father so much". I get so angry inside! I just want to scream at them and slap some sense into them!"
Actually, I think you want to slap some sense OUT of them. Remember, it's you who believe in imaginary friends.
"And I know I'm not suppost to judge, but how can't I when they disrespect the person I love most in my life?!"
"God" is a person? You love your imaginary friend more than ANYONE else? That can't be good mental health.

Sorry, but the days when you could have someone burned for blasphemy are long gone. And, as long as civilization remains a valued concept, they are never coming back. It looks like you'll never get to be the tough guy for Jesus you imagine yourself to be.
But, hey, you can still feed the hungry, tend the sick and do all the other things that Jesus actually his followers to do. Better get to work, as most of your brethren seem to be extremely slack in that area.
Confused?
