Why They Are Hypocrites. My Favorite Passage From The Bible
Matthew 6:5-8

5"And when you pray, do not be like the hypocrites, for they love to pray standing in the synagogues and on the street corners to be seen by men. I tell you the truth, they have received their reward in full. 6But when you pray, go into your room, close the door and pray to your Father, who is unseen. Then your Father, who sees what is done in secret, will reward you. 7And when you pray, do not keep on babbling like pagans, for they think they will be heard because of their many words. 8Do not be like them, for your Father knows what you need before you ask him.

1. ...and xtions need to quit wasting time whining about the White House
Holiday card greeting and get off their selfish arses and care for others or pray for them. Get a real fecking cause that would make Jesus proud.

2. Here's another telling verse, complete with graphic.
Sorry, I don't know who the artist is.

3. Artist? Is That A Painting Or A Real Picture?
It looks real but is too small for me to see clearly enough.

4. Proverbs 29:18.
"Where there is no vision, the people perish." Also, somewhere I remember God telling either King David or Jesus to make peace with his brother before bringing his gift to the altar.

6. They read, and they promptly ignore it.
No one loves to pray in public like the hypocrite.
