Note: this question does not refer to any individual, nor do I accuse anyone specific so please try not to take offence at this question. If you do take offence, please reply politely and not confrontationally.
I was wondering why it is that so many of these people that call themselves Christian exhibit, in fact, personal traits and characters completely at odds with the core teachings of any faith. Many of them are selfish, condescending, close-minded and ill-informed, with only a tenuous knowledge of the religions they supposedly follow. Has anyone else noticed this extremely hypocritical behaviour, or am I alone?
It is almost as if these people are members of some elitist club that has nothing to do with salvation- rather it is a social membership, much like (I imagine) the freemasons.
I have no wish to offend those true believers who may even make up the majority, but would just like someone else's opinion of those who preach religion but know little of it?
Thanks!
