Religious Hypocrisy

It has been my distinct displeasure in my lifetime to have
encountered my fair share of religious hypocrites. No matter
what faith they profess to be they all have pretty much the
same general characteristics. They'll go around gleefully
beating you over the head with what ever book they claim
is the word of God. All the while doing things that fly in the
face of the very same things they have been preaching at
you.

All organized religions, even the ones that claim they aren't
organized, are pretty much full of shit in my honest opinion.
I will point out now that for all of the hypocrites I have seen,
I have seen a few that earned my respect for actually practicing
what they preached and were willing to allow others their beliefs
without giving them some moronic sermon about how they were
praying the wrong way.

Let me make it clear now before I go any farther, I am not
going to single out any one group. In the ten or so years I
have been online, I have taken the opportunity to read as
much as can to learn as many points of view as I could and
spent enough time in libraries reading enough religious books
that I have been asked what my major was! On the surface
all religions look good. It's when you get under the hood you
begin to see what's what and that all of them are about the
same when you get to the heart of the matter.

I've seen my share of people quoting one version or another
of the golden rule, 'Do unto others as you would have them do
unto you', 'An' harm to none, do as ye will' and several others
that are less well known. Of course not long after I see them
quoting these things, I see them doing unto others in a way that
would make a divorce lawyer proud.

To the people that are true to their beliefs, my hat's off to you.
To the hypocrites, kindly STFU and take the time to read that
book you're thumping!
