Judging, Atrocities, and "My" Beliefs

Often, when I contribute a message like this one, I'm accused by those who don't share my beliefs of "judging" and other atrocities. If you feel this way, Netcruiser, how can I answer?

Consider gravity. Gravity is a fact on Earth. I can say that when you let go of an object, it'll fall. You can say that's "my" set of beliefs all you want, but the fact is, when you let go of the same object, it'll also fall.

You see, to me, it's like you who don't share my faith have let go of the aforementioned object and it's falling but you won't admit it. If pointing to the object and crying, "Look out, it's falling!" is judging, then I guess I'm guilty. If I kept silent and didn't exhort you with all my heart to come to the Master, acknowledge your misdeeds and need of Him and give your life to Him, it's then you should accuse me of atrocities. As it is, many won't even answer the question, but only accuse the messenger of "judging."

The truth is, though, there are plenty of atrocities you could accuse me of and be right. It's so with all of us. The difference between the messenger and the reader who shuns the Savior and my "judging" is not that I'm better. It's that the messenger has admitted his atrocities and sought the Solution. I can only ask your forgiveness for not reaching out to you sooner and more often.
