Self Righteous Christians

Mood: bracing myself
Listening to: nothing

If this angers you then it must apply to you.
I am a Christian.
I curse.(like a sailor)
I don't love my neighbors.(I don't even like them mildly.)
I don't forgive easily.( I say that I've forgave this or that person, but I am still angry so obviously I have not forgave them)
I lie. (every day when someone asks me how I'm doing and I say okay. That is an out right lie. I AM NOT okay!))
I lust after my crush.(in all sorts of unholy ways)
 
These are the reasons that I don't go around waving my bible in peoples faces and tell them they are going to hell. You sit there and tell people that this and that is against the bible but you don't ever quote the scriptures that pertain to you.
 
Bush has said that as long as he is in office the troops will be in Iraqi. Instead of wasting time protesting the war, why don't you spend that time and energy writing to and sending care packages to the troops.
 
You protest and burn Harry Potter books because you say it teaches children to be witches. Well, then I guess you don't allow your children to read any fairy tells or the bible. The bible will teach them to kill, commit adultry,etc. Children are not stupid.
 
You go around telling gay people that they are going to burn in hell and that they are sinners. I have read in the bible that "man shall not lie down with man." I have also read that you should not gossip, judge, steal, lie, stir up trouble, commit adultery, pretend to be a prophet. But you don't remember those parts. Jesus said sinners who believe in me shall not perish. Not straight sinners who believe. The apostles were not people who were going around saying how righteous they are, they were sinners. When you are God then and only then can  you tell other people they are going to hell.
 
You try and rank sins. "Oh I only lied, you stole, you're worse than me." A sin, is a sin, is a sin.
 
You protest video games because they teach children violence. Yet all of the Christian cartoons and video games that I have seen were violent. I guess it's okay to teach your kids that because they are "righteous" it's okay to kill.
 
You protest the DaVinci Code. Dan Brown thanks you for the publicity. If someone reads the DaVinci Code and change their religious beliefs, then they didn't believe in the first place.
 
You are supposed to try and bring people in not scare them off. Telling things that aren't in the bible turns them away. You stand up there and preach then you tell your congregation to turn to a scripture that has nothing to do with what you're preaching about.
 
The bible says to repent. It says no where that you have to go to someone else to repent or stand in front of a church to repent. In my bible it says don't put your faith on display, go into your closet when you pray.
 
You pretend that you can heal. Why not heal people who have HIV/AIDS? Seeing a miracle like that would bring millions of people to the faith. But you wont do that, because you can't.
 
I am a sinner. And unless you think that that part of the bible is wrong, you are a sinner. We all sin every single day. Yet you walk around like you are better than people who don't go to church. You only go to church to put on a show of faith, not to worship God. You know what you did last night and God knows. You can pretend all you want but you will have to answer for your actions on Judgment Day just like everyone else. You're very quick to jump and shout and talk about how you try and be like Jesus, but you forget that Jesus DID NOT turn people away.
 
The world does not hate Christians because of our beliefs. The hate people who call themselves Christians because of their behavior. Just because you have been baptized doesn't mean that you are automatically going to heaven. In my experience Christians are the most selfish,unaccepting group of people I have ever came in contact with (And it's not just one church, every church I have went to this was the norm and not the exception). GOD LOVES EVERYONE. HE WELCOMES EVERYONE.
 
Luke 18:9-14...He spoke this parable to some who trusted in themselves that they were righteous, and despised others:.."for everyone who exalts himself will be humbled, and he who humbles himself will be exalted."
 
Now I must go repent because I have been lusting after my crush all day.
