Christians are hypocrites
by Imran on Apr 03, 2008 03:24 PM   Permalink | Hide replies

Christians, they love to talk about how loving, dutiful and compassionate they are, yet I have yet to meet ONE who does not practice hypocrisy to the highest degree. Their willful ignorance of the Bible combined with their two faced idealism to preach it, has made us sick, hasn%u2019t it? For nearly two thousand years Biblicists have been lecturing people on the importance of adhering to the Bible%u2019s teachings on ethics, manners, and morality. They quote Jesus and Paul profusely, with a liberal sprinkling of Old Testament moralism. The problem with their approach lies not only in an oft- noted failure to practice what they preach, but an equally pronounced tendency to ignore what the Bible itself, preaches. Christians practice what can only be described as %u201Cselective morality%u201D. What they like, they cling to and shove down other%u2019s throats; what they don%u2019t like, they ignore vehemently. That which is palatable and acceptable is supposedly applicable to all; while that which is obnoxious, inconvenient, or self-denying is only applicable to those addressed 2,000 years ago. Their hypocrisy is so rampant that even the validity of calling oneself %u201CChristian%u201D is in question

17) Eating pork is forbidden (Deuteronomy 14:8). Hmm, I%u2019ve never met a Christian who DIDN%u2019T enjoy bacon and eggs.
18) A man must marry and have relations with his dead brother%u2019s wife (Deuteronomy 25:5-6). This goes without explaining of course.
19) A seducer must marry an unengaged virgin whom he seduces (Exodus 22:16-17)
20) A raped, unengaged virgin must marry her rapist and they can never divorce (Deuteronomy 22:28-29). What justice the %u201Cmoral majority%u201D advocates!
9) They are not to oppose evil (%u201CBut I say unto you, that ye resist not evil; but whosoever shall smite thee on the right cheek, turn to him the other also%u201D-- Matthew 5:39). If this were followed one might just as well abolish law enforcement.
10) Biblicists are not allowed to call anyone %u201Cfather%u201D (%u201CAnd call no man your father upon the earth: for one is your Father, which is in heaven%u201D (Matthew 23:9). Not only is this rule ignored on a DAILY BASIS, but Catholicism uses %u201Cfather%u201D as a specific title.
