Religion

I read an interesting article last night about christianity. It was the author's opinion that we, as Americans, have subverted religion and being a christian into what we want it to be rather than what it should be. We are so self centered and selfish that we really don't live by what the Bible says or Jesus says, but what we interpret it to be as it suits our purposes. In my way of thinking he is absolutely right. Churches are filled with hypocrites who are there only for their own self serving reasons, whatever they may be. We don't turn the other cheek, we don't help our fellow man, we don't show compassion, we turn and walk away from anything we don't want to see or deal with and then call ourselves christians. This is the main reason I have lost any sort of faith I may have had at one time. You only have to look as far as our President and Congress and to the "right" to see what the article is about. These people are phonies, liars, and some of the biggest hypocrites on earth and yet will tell anyone listening in a heartbeat they are christians. I can only hope that one day they will pay.
