Nonjudgment Day is what we FUNdamentalists have been fervently and joyously playing for. When enough people choose laughing instead of condemning we will reach uncritical mass. On Nonjudgment Day, the Laugh Force will become so powerful that the laugh track becomes audible, and farce-fields are clearly visible. On Nonjudgment Day, everyone will win beauty contests. Folks will gather in public esteem baths where they will bathe unashamed in unconditional love. Lawyers will disappear, and all our trials will be over. Soldiers everywhere will lay down their arms. They will look very funny with their arms down on the ground and their butts sticking up in the air, but the world will be a safer place because you cannot attack anybody in this position (unless, of course, you have just had burritos and are adept at gastral projection).
This will be celebrated as Disarmaggedon, and will be the end of the human race as we know it. We will realize that life isn't a race, so we can stop running. On Nonjudgment Day, all those people who have been running a little behind for so many years will finally get caught up. They will take a deep breath, stop running their little behinds off, and sit calm. There they will find that whatever they have been chasing is already patiently waiting for them.
Regardless of how or when the world ends up, each of us must individually face Nonjudgement. God or one of his assistants will switch on the VCR (if you're lucky you'll get Ralph Edwards form that old "This is you're life" TV show), and you'll see an entire lifetime of outtakes- all of those times when you tried with all your might to look good and looked foolish instead, and all of those other Larry, Moe, or Curly moments when you were a stooge for god. Your intake of these outtakes will be made easier by the fact that you will be hearing the full audience laugh track as you watch your shenanigans. It is usually during this process that enlightening strikes and you achieve fool realization.
Yes, Nonjudgment Day is near. How quickly it comes about depends on the quality of the material we create and extract from the material world. God is the Sponsor of this long-running situation comedy, and our Universe is the Network. But we write the scripts and perform the "schtick" ourselves. As we learn to heal our jestive blockages, drive our karma, curb our dogma, milk those sacred cows, and take the bull by the horns, the quality of the programming is bound to improve.
