Thoughts on the Charles Barkley interview

Several of my LJ friends have linked to a video of Charles Barkley describing conservative Christians as "fake Christians." (See the video, a transcript, and a response from a conservative Christian group here, if you don't know what I'm talking about. And care.) Barkley asserts that those people are wrong to oppose gay marriage because the Bible says to not judge. This delights many of my friends (and to some extent, me). But wait a minute-- aren't we applauding him for passing judgment on a group of people?

"But that's different!" Yes, it is. Read on for my thoughts about how and why it is different.
