This, is the reason I don't go to church, a bunch of back sliding hypocrites, BS con artists and betty-better-than-me's. They can kiss my red ass while riding their tall horses starring down their noses at the rest of the world.
They've (Christians AND their churches) done a pretty poor job as a whole. With 83% of Americans professing to be Christians (about 250 MILLION people), you'd think that things would be WAY better here than they are. You'd think that these folks, collectively, would be a HUGE influencial and driving force. But they're not. If all of these Christians would simply do what Jesus did, it would have a profound postive impact on this country in a years time. People don't resist Christians because they love others too much. People don't resist Christians because they are too welcoming of others. People don't resist Christians because they are too willing to carry others people's burdens. People don't resist Christians because they're so forgiving and so open and so gracious. What people find so easy to resist about Christians is the hypocrisy and the 'we know it all, and we're better than y'all' attitude that many of em' seem to have.
People don't resist Christianity because of Jesus...people resist Christianity because of Christians.
At one time I decided to ask almost everyone I encountered if they are a Christian. Almost everyone said they were. Then I asked them what it takes to be a Christian. Many said you have to be born in America. So because they claim to be Christian does not make them a follower of Jesus and His teaching.
