Why are most people attending churchs so hypocritical?
108620
There are many who go to church who CLAIM to be a Christian but in reality they have no true relationship with God.  They go because they think they are supposed to, because it looks good, because they are trying to score points, for approval ... etc.\n\nBut as I stated in another post... there will be many who will say "Lord, Lord" and the Lord will say "I know you not".\n\nThat all said, we should be striving to remove sin from our lives.  No one is perfect, true.  But when we are doing something wrong, we need to try and remove that from our life.  Some will successfully, some will fail and try again, and some will never be able to do it.  The point is that God sees the desire of your heart.  So if you are true to your intentions and desires, God will know.\n\nNow if you go to church and you know you shouldn't be sinning, you know that you are sinning by doing {insert action here} and you knowingly disregard any attempt to remove that sin from you life, then you have a problem.\n\nGenerally speaking those who are being hypocritical are either not truly a Christian OR they are blinded by sin in their life and we as brothers and sisters in Christ need to call them on their hypocrisy.

It has always been MY experience that the biggest hypocrites are Christians. They do not practice what they preach, they see the words of the bible as they CHOOSE TO, and NOT what is actually there. AND  they PASS JUDGMENT. They are walking sin. They cheat, covet, divorce, remarry, envy... Lots of things which go against what marriage is about and what god wants. Love is love, no matter if it is between man&woman, woman&woman or man&man.  These are bonds of LOVE and NOBODY has any right to say what's "right or wrong" between two consenting adults IN LOVE.  I was raised Lutheran and I NEVER saw read anything about homosexuals "going to hell."  BOTTOM LINE: Not everyone is a Christian, and we do not all have to have the rules of Christianity PUSHED onto all of us. Like it or not, people have every right to NOT follow Christianity if they choose not to. So don't pray for gays to be heterosexuals, because it just doesn't work that way, or any other way! Instead, pray for yourselves to open your minds and THINK FOR YOURSELVES, NOT WHATEVER YOU WERE FED AND BLINDLY SWALLOWED.

This is very true. Most modern religious folks are not willing to step outside of their normal perspective on things. I find it a little sad that so many people refuse to think for themselves.

Because there is something seriously wrong with all people who consider themselves conservative christiians, and any other religion for that matter. No matter how high and mighty they think they are, everyone is flawed, and religion causes war.

im right there with you I don't understand why they think they are better than everyone else and they think that anything other than christainity is horible and the only real religion is christainity thats so bad and they also say there not hypocrites and they really are uggg its really annoying!!! They also are against other religions and types of people including homesexuals and like they say in the bible you should love your neighbor and how not liking homosexuals loving your neighbor!!! thank you for finally saying something other than god is so great!!!

I have pondered this before myself. I watch as so many ministers in my community drive around in caddys. Or golf at one of the many high priced clubs around these parts. But then on Sunday stand in front of a congregation and preach the "so called" word of god. I watch housewives drive away from there 750000 dollar homes in a big SUV. And then go to church on Sunday and ask a god who isn't there why they are so stricken. Hypocrites are everywhere. It amazes me. Of course it may have something to do with christians "we are right you are wrong" attitude. Or maybe it is the "we are better because we are christians" attitude. Who knows really. But this is truly one of the many reasons why I will not bow before a god who will not hurt those who lie so deeply and behave in such a hypocritical manner.

Probably something to do with religion, christ etc. There are an awful lot of religious wackos out there.

Because they were brainwashed from birth. Religion is such a crock of shit. It is funny how many people preach this garbage, and try to push it onto you. I for one do not need this in my life, I have enough complications! And if it is so great, why are there so many priests etc. raping young children? How ethical. Take your bible, shove it where the sun doesn't shine, and roll your holy asses into church where you can join your fellow wack jobs!

Welcome to the world of hypocracy!  That is one of those great quandries.  Think about it, alot preach one thing and do another.  How many so-called men and women of god have been caught committing adultry among other things?  Call it being human or whatever but when you are in that position you are held to a higher standard.  How can you tell people something is wrong when you turn around and do it yourself?

We call these people hypocrites.  Others may say, it is because people don't really understand the Bible and invent their own interpretation.  Then other want to act cool to others and do other things behind close doors.  Then others say "God gave us the choice to believe in Him or not to believe in Him.  In the end we all will be judge.

why would a gay person go to an organisation which openly preaches intolerance and bigotry....people only go to church when they need others to do their thinking for them or they need a crutch...most gays i know are pretty well balanced, thinking people so what they need a church for...?

I believe it comes from a lack of understanding others.  People tend to hate that which they cannot understand.  Combine that with spiritual insecurity and it leads them to try to convince others that their path is the only righteous way towards God.  People speaking of religious tolerance have it all wrong.  To say that you tolerate someone else's religion means that you have pasted judgment on them.  This is something only God can do.  In the end, each person would be a better off if they lead by example and found the place that best allows them to worship and work on their relationship with God.

Oh, I hear you on this one.  Of all the people on this earth, Christians are the most judgemental of all.  And, I was raised in the Christian church and it was always said that we should never judge, that only God can judge.  A person's sins are between them and God.  But, so many Christians forget this in their daily life.  It was also taught to me that all sins are equal, that is murder is just as bad as, say, swearing.  So, you are also right to question why homosexuality is so very bad in their eyes.  The hypocrisy is why I have fallen away, I just couldn't deal with it anymore.  I still believe in a God of sorts, but I will not subscribe to any organized religion.  It makes people crazy.

More killing has been done in history in the name of religion than for any other reason.I believe in God without a doubt,but I wouldn't walk into a church if you paid me.It's funny that I find church goers to be the most intolerant folks I've come accross.The people in church may not be evil but yes ,religion is most definetly evil and you can bet satan is happy with the divisions that religion creates.All part of his evil plan.

Christianity is not open because people are so critical of others.  If we make one mistake then people look down on us and make the remark "and your a christian".  People forget that we are all human and we all sometime or other make mistakes.

yah....It pisses me off because alot of "christistians" are full of sh*t. They talk about god and preach this and that, then they live and act the complete opposite. It makes it feel like any kind of christianity is really bull sh*t, like everything else in this world. Maybe it is.
