Yes, I agree with each of your points, good post. It's the reason I choose not to have anything to do with religion. Unfortunately, I have to put up with these hypocrites and their nonsense when I attend weddings and funerals. When I get mailings from these people it goes right in the garbage.

There are many Christians who are not hypocrites. You have described the few who are most noticable because they feel the need to flaunt the faith they probably don't have and make everybody else feel bad.

dude a true christian is some-one who is kind, thougtful, giving and always thinks of others before themselves. i have been told i match this discription many times and i haven't been to church in years! going to church all the time does not make you a true christian, you have to have these traits! i mean jesus never said anyting about having to go to church, did he now!!

Praise the lord's of food and booze!!!!!!

Typical.

Atheists follow their concience, fanatics use the Bible as an excuse to do whatevere the hell they like.

There was a test done in America; these scientists went around to various schools. In some schools, they told all the kids with blue eyes that they were superior. in others, brown. The result; whichever group was told they were superior instantly became a bunch of pricks.

BTW I'm talking about fanatics, not ordinary sane Christians who get on with their life. Don't get offended, anyone.

Some day they will realize that the behavior they exhibit on earth WILL come back to haunt them in the afterlife. It just may be too late for some of them. ;)

Maybe if more people believed in karma, they wouldn't act in such vile and deceitful ways.

Live your life the way you feel is moral and fulfilling. THOSE types of people you are refering to would most likely be bored and lonely of they didnt have something to follow. Think for yourself. I know people like that, they tell you you're going to hell and try to break you down, then try to build you back up by encouraging you to join them. Most organized religions won't make you feel less, but they, in particualr will. Back then they spread most of their influence by force and violence, the Crusades. If you know you're a good person, and you don't harm anyone, then that should be enough for you to realize that all that is unnecessary. Plus you will save alot of money! if you know what I mean.

Kinda i just chose to avoid religion as much as possiple

religion is the main problem with this world. Just live life without having to look over your back everytime you slag off such n such. I hate the idea of jesus its aload of bull shit and your crafting your whole life, on the idea of jesus. Its bullshit.

I'm a Christian, and my situation is very similar to yours. A lot of the people at my school, and even at my old church seemed to think that they were SO amazing, just because they sat in church for a couple of measly hours. They would be extremely condescending towards others, yet they still expected people to actually look up to them, and envy them. It was ridiculous. And I know how you feel.

You're a Christian? I bet you ignore Jesus. That's not very Christian of you. (Read further).
All Christians are mindless pathetic c.u.n.t.s.

Let see how many TRUE Christians there are; for as a true Christian, you would completely believe and follow the bible, correct?

Jesus made a number of very clear statements about money and wealth in the Bible. For example:

Matthew 6:19

Do not lay up for yourselves treasures on earth, where moth and rust destroy and where thieves break in and steal; but lay up for yourselves treasures in heaven, where neither moth nor rust destroys and where thieves do not break in and steal. For where your treasure is, there your heart will be also.

Luke 14:33

Any of you who does not give up everything he has cannot be my disciple.

Matthew 6:24

No one can serve two masters; for either he will hate the one and love the other, or else he will be loyal to the one and despise the other. You cannot serve God and Money.

Matthew 19:21-24

Jesus answered, "If you want to be perfect, go, sell your possessions and give to the poor, and you will have treasure in heaven. Then come, follow me." When the young man heard this, he went away sad, because he had great wealth. Then Jesus said to his disciples, "I tell you the truth, it is hard for a rich man to enter the kingdom of heaven. Again I tell you, it is easier for a camel to go through the eye of a needle than for a rich man to enter the kingdom of God."

Matthew 19:28-29

Jesus said to them, "I tell you the truth, at the renewal of all things, when the Son of Man sits on his glorious throne, you who have followed me will also sit on twelve thrones, judging the twelve tribes of Israel. And everyone who has left houses or brothers or sisters or father or mother or children or fields for my sake will receive a hundred times as much and will inherit eternal life.

Luke 9:23-25

Then he said to them all: "If anyone would come after me, he must deny himself and take up his cross daily and follow me. For whoever wants to save his life will lose it, but whoever loses his life for me will save it. What good is it for a man to gain the whole world, and yet lose or forfeit his very self?

Matt 13: 22

The one who received the seed that fell among the thorns is the man who hears the word, but the worries of this life and the deceitfulness of wealth choke it, making it unfruitful.

Hebrews 13:5

Keep your lives free from the love of money and be content with what you have, because God has said, "Never will I leave you; never will I forsake you."

Phil 2:3

Do nothing out of selfish ambition or vain conceit, but in humility consider others better than yourselves.

Acts 2:44-45

All the believers were together and had everything in common. Selling their possessions and goods, they gave to anyone as he had need.

The message is clear. If you want to follow Jesus, you need to "sell your possessions and give to the poor." It is a very simple message, and easy to do. Have you done it? The fact that you are reading this page would indicate that you have not. Chances are you own a computer, pay for an Internet connection every month, live in a home or apartment, have a car, etc. In other words, you live a life at a level of wealth unimaginable in Jesus' time. Meanwhile, billions of people on the planet live in startling, abject poverty.

Why don't you sell everything and follow Jesus, as he requests in the Bible? The reason is simple: Jesus and God are imaginary, and you know it. If Jesus were real, you would do what he says.

Hypocrites who believe in fantasies. LOL!

Losers.

I've always been amazed by people that are so over zealous when it comes to religion.
I was raised Roman Catholic and couldn't believe how everyone would be "Holier-than-thou" before and during mass, and then, as soon as mass was over, they'd just about run you over in the parking lot.
Since I've gotten older (42), I've realized that it doesn't matter what, if any, religion you are, as long as you attempt to be a better person than you were the day before - - Just be a decent person. Or, to quote Bill & Ted's excellent adventure, "Be Excellent".
All kidding aside though, I don't have much use for organized religion anymore. I've found that it's almost always guided by the aspirations of the priest, pastor, etc....
And, since our society is devoid of any altruism, I question the motives of anyone who is, or views themselves to be, in a position of power. ....Or, I could just be cynical.....

No humans are unbelievably selfish and have an amazing ability to lie to everybody, including themselves, about the real incentives there are behind their actions.

umm...acctually its one of the commandments to keep the sabbath day of christ holy..which means go to church on sunday..so yes jesus did say go to church

everyone is a hypocrite when it comes to religion, with no exception.

Even though I only read the first sentence.........You're an asshole. Go fuck yourself.

Oh and there's also the fact that I'm 15. Grow up asshole.

Christianity is hypocrisy in itself. How ANYONE can believe in that trash is beyond me

all christians are not mindless pathetic cunts

1. mother teresa
2. martin luther king
3. donny osmond

I rest my case.

Good one :D

but why is it that the ones who are so hypocrite rule the church like it could the pastors sometimes or a so called important member of the church while the followers live an examplairy life when they are the one being taught its kind ironic dont you think

I am glad you are a Christian , I hope God , gives you every thing you need in life And if you follow him , Your life will go a long way !!

Happy Thanksgiving And God Bless You!!!
