If you read my long list of things about me (and I wouldn't blame you if you didn't), you know that I grew up in the church and (gasp!) left that whole mess. There are lots of reasons, but the two major ones are that I feel like God has got to be seriously messed up to let some of the shit that has happened my life go on and two because of the hypocrisy I see and the self righteous attitude of many (of course not all) supposed Christians.
I still hear things from time to time about the church I went to for about 6 years. I have to say that those people are the most judgemental, uncompassionate, ivory-tower-living people I've ever met. There seems to be two unwritten lists - the one with thing you HAVE to do (go to church 3 times a week, wear dresses to church, don't use an instrument in worship, take communion once a week....) and the one with things you can't do (have sex out of marriage, drink alcohol - ever, say crap, dance, wear pants to church...you get the idea). Stay off the one and do the things on the other and you've got your golden ticket to the pearly gates. Do it the other way around and you're on the fast track to hell.
This was a small group of about 50 people, so you'd think that there couldn't be too much wrong, right? Guess again. In just this small group, back behind the scenes and in the dark of their private lives, this is who they are:
1. A long time (we're talking years here) child molester 2. A guy who just got busted for child porn 3. A professor who cheated on his wife with a student 4. A woman who adopted 3 kids from India, only to bring them here and beat the shit out of them and verbally abuse them
So these people sit there in church three times every week because that's what good Christians do, and all the while this is going on. Are you fucking kidding me? Something about what you're doing is NOT working when this many people in such a small group have these kinds of serious issues.
And yet, these same people can shun my sister who decided to marry someone who wasn't a Bible thumper. Do you know she couldn't even get someone to marry her because of that???? These same people will look down their noses at me because I have the occasional glass of wine and because I got pregnant when I wasn't married.
Guess what self-righteous, bitches? I just got 'caught'. You've done it too and you're lucky you didn't get knocked up.
Their whole game is to look the part, talk the talk and then apparently they can do whatever the hell they want for the rest of their lives. And then preach at others about how wrong it is to have a beer, or to wear pants or to have a woman speak in church or to use a piano when you sing in church.
Get a grip!!! You all have PROBLEMS - big ones. But I guess you can't see them for the log in your eye. You're too busy tyring to get the damn sawdust out of 'the world's'.
I am just furious after hearing about this woman doing that. They adopted 3 kids from India and now she's pushing them down the stairs, hitting them in the jaw, beating them with antennas??????????? She even told her birth daughter that she wasn't the daughter she wanted.
There is nothing that pisses me off more than to see people hurt children. Couple that with a self righteous attitude because your sick white ass warms a pew a few times a week and you are the scum of the earth. All of you.
You aren't good people. What you're doing isn't working. Your cult, I mean church, is not growing except for when people get married or have kids. Probably kids that will end up hurt at your hands. I hate you.
It might send me straight to hell, but I'd rather have drinking a martini on my conscience than beating or raping my children. Who'll drink to that?
