Christian Hypocrisy
Christian Hypocrisy


BURN


Love your neighbour as yourself, then run off on Sunday to a multi-million dollar Cathedral, where you listen, without thinking, to a right wing, homophobic preacher. Vote the Christian party, so that no one can have a choice of their own values. Force the desiscion against abortion, force the laws against euthanasia. Vote for the disguised neo-fascist, which hide under the cloak of a Christian label. Those high and mighty Christian politicions, who condemn everything from teletubbies, to equal rights for gays. The churches pray for peace in times of peace, and pray for victory in times of war. They support the violence, the send their sons, they force the finger that pulls the triggers. They listen to the lies that the media feeds them about the motives for the military actions. The first casuality of war is ALWAYS the truth!!!!!!

The stubborness to learn about their beliefs will come back to haunt them. They swallow what they are given, without critical thought, without checking what the bible really says about such things. They take it out of context, to mean a variety of different things, then accuse you of doing the same when something is found that dissagrees with what they say. They are the church followers, the church leaders, the parisioners. They live for liturgy, for tradition. They have done the same thing over and over again so many times it lost the false meaning it had from the beginning. The traditions based on very little knowledge of why it is a tradition.

They tend to forget what it means to have life in your heart. To feel the presence of something more then themselves in their hearts. They look to other options to find what is missing in many forms. Much like the non-Christian, they will look into false ideals, into traditions, into fillers. They will kneel down to the priest, and ask him for forgiveness, forgetting where that forgiveness starts, and where it comes from.

They refuse to learn about the other ideals, the other beliefs of other people. They go out in a state of ignorance to preach to those they don't understand. They insult cultures with their ignorance, the insult others with their nievity. And then they get angered when others don't understand their beliefs. They stand on boths sides of a cliff and look the other way.

Their money goes not to the needy, not to the poor. This idea of tithing is lost when it is spent on things that benefit oneself, or ones church. It isn't given away if it is still spent for your benefit. TO each for the need, and from each according to their ability. The church is dying. They refuse to become real. They have been lost in their falsehood that they live in. They refuse to reflect on themselves, and see where they went wrong. They insist that they are the way they are supposed to me. Despite all the signs that tell them that this is not working. It is not working because it is not to God's will. It is not working, because they exclude so many. They make such harsh generalisation, and try to hold you to them.

The leaders are upper crusts, meeting in expensive meetings, eating expensive, unhealthy food. They have lost touch with what they need. They refuse to understand the youth. The youth that are all that will be left when they are gone. The youth who are being taught apathy in the face of everything. They spend their time deciding the fate of the churches money, of where resources go, of how things should be done. They loss focus on why they should be done, for whome they should be done for. They are dying from the inside, without the ideas why.

Is it any wonder why people are turning away? How can they start their walk if what the are shown is so shallow, so full of self-righteousness, of hypocrisy. The are drawn away into illogical beliefs to escape from something so insulting, and so unaccepting. More and more people I talk to have left the church, and the belief, because of the actions of the hierarchy. Those hypocrites themselves.

The nations representing the Christian ideals are run by immoral bigots. The media feeds us the lies that propell our hatred of other religions. The murderous muslims. We forget the reasons why muslims left their beliefs of pacifism. They threw it away because they were being persecuted by the Christians. The Christians who too threw away the beliefs of non-violence in the 3 century of their existance. It was no longer a pre-requisite to being a Christian. In truth we should attack ourselves for giving up what we were shown is right. We forget that double purposes for the life of Christ. He did not come simply to die to save the sins, he came to show us how to live, that it is possible to live in harmony with God. Even if it is impossible to follow his example, how can you, if you are a Christian, not attempt to try to live your life like him. This is the problem with many Christians today, they forget this other reason for God sending his son. They assume that they can do what they want, and be forgiven. But as it is written, "Not all who call on the name of the Lord will arrive in Heaven". There is much more then empty prayer, empty worship, liturgy, tradition. To truly worship the Lord, it must come from ones heart, not from their wallet, and not from their attendance, and not from their participation in rituals.

But who am I to say, I am more the hypocrite than any.
