Apologies for being so off-topic, but Matthew 7 is being abused here. You should not
quote Jesus Christ out of context 
like this.  Read the passage in the context of the teaching.  I know non-Christians
like to whip this verse out whenever 
they want to do something immoral - just to shut the Christians up, but Matthew 7 just
can't be intelligently 
interpreted to mean that.

The verse doesn't advise use to tell each other not to "judge" us, it's an admonition
against feeling like we're "good" 
by comparing ourselves to someone else.  The verse is about holding ourselves to God's
standard for us, it's not for 
unbelievers to stop all criticism from believers.
