Bigots,Hypocrites and Zealots

People don't realize that because I talk my fair share that I also listen,and often what I hear is appalling. It makes me wonder if the speakers are thinking about what they are saying or if they are so deluded,so sanctimonious that they believe what they are saying is fact,and how can those same people who profess their religion rail against things that God himself created,such as tobacco and alcohol? Talking about a drunk in the gutter as if that person is below their station and the smell of smokers being so repulsive. Whatever happened to "Judge not,lest ye be judged"? And do those same sensory glands that can detect a vile smoker also include the ability to sniff out a child molester? Would those same people, as they go about their pious lives know Jesus Christ if they saw him in a gutter? Attending a church service doesn't exclude a person from needing to be compassionate nor does it give the right to persecute their fellow man. Do they think that by  regular attendance at their place of worship automatically makes them God's right hand man? I know there are exceptions to most every rule but it has been my experience that the regular church goers are some of the worst Christians I have ever known. I will climb down from my soap box now and include a few appropriate quotes in conclusion of today's blog.
"The hands that help are far better than lips that pray."  (Robert Green Ingersoll)
"If God objected to (people with various handicaps),he ought not have created such people." (also Ingersoll)
"I like your Christ,I do not like your Christians,your Christians are so unlike your Christ." (Mohandas Gandhi)
"The Christian resolution to find the world ugly and bad has made the world ugly and bad." (Friederich Nietzsche)
"Without religion,we'd have good people doing good things,and evil people doing evil things. But for good people to do evil things,that takes religion." (Stephen Weinburg)
