Showing Original Post only (View all)When did so many (not all) "christians" become hateful psychopaths? [View all]
See how I said "not all", if you are a non-psychopathic Christian I applaud you for having been able to keep the Faith. As for me, the meanies at church drove me away in my teens
My family is full of them, reich wing, religious types who despise everything Christ actually did (after commanding that they vote republican and take their directions from hate mongers on tv and radio).
What did Jesus do (assuming you believe what it says in their oft (mis)translated book)?
He fed the hungry- Have you heard them rant and rave about cutting food stamps?
He healed the sick- I don't recall anything about him charging a copay or chastising people for not taking care of themselves or needing help.
He threw the Moneychangers out of the Temple- at two of the larger (big whopper of grandeur) churches that members of my family attend there are ATMs in the lobby as well as credit card kiosks to pay their tithes directly into the church's tax sheltered bank account.
Most important of all, HE SHOWED COMPASSION AND WARMTH- The Religious Right (who are neither) are the most heartless bunch you would ever come across.
People who used to be nice have been warped and manipulated in their blind faith to become the foot soldiers of rich, evil bloated white guys who hate, spend their money, and preach weekly from mega pulpits against everything that their Jesus actually did (once again assuming you believe their book).
Sometimes I wish there were a Hell, just so I could smile knowing that they would pay for their heinous sins.
