For example, most Christians will blame the devil for their own hypocrisies, or for the corruption in their churches. Of course it's not THEIR fault when people bash their religion, it's the devil influencing non-believers to criticise. When Jerry Falwell blamed "pagans, homosexuals, witches, atheists, abortionists", etc for the September 11th attacks he was reviled and mocked. But, of course, in most Christians' minds he wasn't reviled because of the filth he was spewing, it was because the people who criticised him were "demon-possessed", "godless", ad-infinitum. Why is it that Christians don't seem to be able to accept responsibilty for their own faults and actions, and almost always blame others?
Will they ever see that maybe the reason they are so disliked and mocked in our society today might be their fault? Will they ever see that maybe the reason most non-believers see them as self-righteous hypocrites is because they ACTUALLY ARE? Pastor Ted Haggard is a great example!
