Show of Hands

If I point out the hypocrisy of a Nazi who helps the weak even if they are non-white, I would be doing so in an attempt to show that his actions should remain, but his Nazi beliefs change. I would want him to give up his beliefs but keep his actions.

So if you point out the hateful behavior of Christians as being inconsistent with their beliefs, do you want to imply that they should keep their hateful actions, or change their actions but keep their beliefs?

If their beliefs are wrong, then why imply the latter?

So while it's possible to point out hypocrisy without condoning the beliefs that the hypocrite is ignoring (as I would do in the case of the Nazi), the follow-up question is:

Which should the hypocrite change? Belief or action? And if their belief is false, then why change the actions that aren't congruent with it?

Reread the question. I don't believe in the Bible thus I do not believe judging or blaspheming is a sin.

Now I am no theologian, never claimed to be. I do however believe that man makes mistakes, God himself passes the judgment and is just to forgive said sin.

I see, so you have zero authority to call people out on what you do not believe in in the first place.

You are simply playing with words. That is your right.

So, what was this all mighty sin you called out on these apparent hypocrites?

Nope. I have the right to call out hypocrisy in anything. Religion doesn't get an expemption. Plus, I'm not nitpicking. I'm calling out a group of Christians who claim to follow Christ's teachings of loving your enemy yet bully someone due to their

And to set the record straight, there does seem to be some hypocrisy among Christians. I wouldn't ever make that claim, but it isn't your or my job to call them out and denounce the entire religion,

transgender. I don't believe bullying is a sin, but I do believe it is wrong. Since telling them it's wrong doesn't work, I have to tell them their Jesus said it was wrong, as apparently they have no morals unless they read them in some Holy book.

Also, I'm not denouncing the entire religion or even you because of their actions. I'm calling them hypocrites. And why would an atheist like me see something like that and ever want to convert? Where is the so-called love of Christ we are supposed

to see in Christians?

Like I said, I am no theologian, from the sounds of it neither are you. Jesus said to love, gave his teachings and said teach. The bible speaks of homosexuality, transgender was never mentioned I don't believe. Jesus, never at one time condemned

A sinner willing to accept his teachings. I don't believe Christians have the right to bully or judge

It isn't my place or anyone else's to do so. Nor is it yours or anyone else's right to denounce someone's faith.

I agree, that makes for a horrible image and "bad advertisement"

I'm not denouncing anyone's faith. Please reread my comments. Reread the question too.

Who are you talking that is bullying you? What denomination?

This is the deal, A Christian has no right to denounce you, have hate for or judge you. Jesus actually despised those who called themselves "religious". Those who judge in his name.

Maybe not denounce, definately a tone of blasphemy. I'll ask the same question: if This is the attitude you chose to give and image of transsexualism choose to show, how are we (Christians in general) supposed to be convinced to accept it?

I agree with the hypocrisy though of these Christians. Jesus himself would and did in certain cases similar in nature. But "image" is a 2 way street. Be the better person. They obviously are not.

I haven't been bullied. I've seen them bully a certain user, though. They constantly harass her for her transgender in poll, then in another poll talk about Jesus and his love and how much they adore and follow him. So of course I call that out. I'm

I guess this is more advise than anything. I may not agree with your particular choice, but as a Christian and a human being, I won't judge or wish I'll will.

by no means perfect, and if I'm inconsistent or hypocritical, I expect to be called out on it. Also, I am not criticizing all Christians for the the acts of the few. I'm talking specifically about a certain group. Regardless of whether or not you

Oh I see, a different user. You are correct in calling them out, maybe try a different approach. One with a little less anger.

agree with or support transgender procedures, or if you deem them sinful, I find it hypocritical to claim you follow a man who preached "love your neighbor" and simultaneously bully and harass a user, even in polls irrelevant to the user. (not *you*

specifically; I'm talking in general).

People in here disagree with me all the time, haven't displayed emotional discontent in any occasion. I think that makes them upset even more, if for no other reason than they see you (subconsciously) higher than themselves.

Well I am off to other polls, hope I didn't cause you any feelings of discontent, only advise that you not use Blasphemy to prove a point while polling. That gives Christians a bad taste for your side of view. Have a good night my friend.

You too :-)

Thank you for being a decent human-being. People like you give Christianity a good image. I just hope you never stoop to level of the other SOH bullies on here; you've inevitably encountered them and there's more to encounter, lol

according to their religious texts. So if you try to prove hypocrisy by quoting the Bible and showing that a group of Christians aren't following it, you're recognizing the validity of the Bible. #religiouspeoplelogic

Spread the word! drooski has been saved!!! I've acknowledged and accepted that Jesus Christ is our Lord and Savior simply by quoting the Bible in an attempt to show Christians not following it! THANK YOU FOR YOUR MERCY, O SWEET BABY JAYSUS.

God will not be mocked.
