Do you really think that Scripture is a blanket proscription on judging? It's not. It's a prohibition on
hypocritical judgement, as the verse (if you had bothered to quote the whole thing, instead of cherry-picking out a little bit that's so easily misunderstood) and the one immediately following it indicate:
Luke 6:37-38 "Judge not, and ye shall not be judged: condemn not, and ye shall not be condemned: forgive, and ye shall be forgiven: 38Give, and it shall be given unto you; good measure, pressed down, and shaken together, and running over, shall men give into your bosom.
For with the same measure that ye mete withal it shall be measured to you again."
It means that if you hold someone to a standard,
you had better meet that standard yourself. One of the few bits of the Bible I actually agree with.
