That's not modern Christianity; it's hypocritical sin and the Bible is very clear about it.

It's the sin of hypocrisy, and it's a huge feature of what Christianity has become in this country. The bible is clear about a lot of things.

It is a product of sin not Christianity. What is obvious is that the liberal influence on the church has so polluted Christianity that it has no meaning, value. Heck if the statistics regarding the percentage of the US population that claim to be Christians was anywhere close to being true we would not be in the mess we are in as a nation.

I would venture to say that most people that claim to be Christians think that because they were born in the US and believe there is a God. What hypocrisy! You have got to walk the talk to be a Christian. Watered down Christianity is no better that corrupt politics, corrupt big business, etc.. Notice how much the liberal establishment accept, condone, watered down Christianity. The more accepting of sin a religion is the more the liberals like it. It makes them feel good about their own immoral lives.

I don't think it's bull at all. And yes, I do hate hypocrisy.

Yeah, those liberal evangelical megachurches are at it again. Sheesh.

There's plenty of meaning and value AND liberal influence in a lot of churches. Lots of Quaker congregations, for example. It's really the poison of reactionaries that has tainted Christianity.

People's bigotry towards Christianity is perfectly acceptable in the liberal world. One day in the not to distant future a real Christian that takes a stand for Christ will be persecuted, and with our governments help.

And the transfer of PC-ness to the right wing is complete. Boy, this should be fun.
