Because Christians are people. And people are hypocrites. For instance, you don't like others making religions look bad, yet you are trying to make the Christian religion look bad. You, yourself are a hypocrite. (Don't worry, I am too)

"All sin and fall short of the glory of God."
I'm a christian and I've done so many things that are sinful!
You say other religions are not bad. Tell me what is bad? What is truth? Can they all be correct?
I love the man Jesus. The God Jesus. He's incredible! He has saved me and made me whole. He has given me living water and I will never thirst again.

You know what I do tend to agree and I am a Christian. Hypocrisy is what turns many people off to organized religion and/or Christianity.
I would say always is a generalization to say "they always" not everyone does.
However I understand where you come to that conclusion. This is one Christian responding saying I wish it weren't so. I apologize on behalf of the Christian community, if I can.
I would also say don't let a few mislead Christians keep you from finding out the truth. God loves witches as much as he loves the hypocritical Christians you have come in contact with.
God Bless

Maybe you should believe in Spell Check.
It would make your rant a little more acceptable as a question and may be taken seriously.
If you are a real witch I do feel sorry for you, however accusing someone else of improprieties really doesn't make you look any better.

Show me any groups of people in the world that don't include hypocrites.
Do you really think God and "the devil" were made up to make your religion look bad?

No no, Hippocrates came before Jesus. You need to fix your timelines: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Hippocrates
>> made up to make other religions look and seem bad but theyer arnt
Right. In psychology, we typically refer to this as the "ingroup/outgroup bias". ( http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Outgroup_%28sociology%29 ) That is, to increase homogeneity in groups (such as Christians) they will villify anyone that is not like them (all other religions/beliefs).
Isn't it wonderful how social psychology concepts date back to even 2,000 years ago?

What you believe or reject does not change the truth about God, Christ, His WORD, and Heaven. What you believe or reject will not erase the existence of Hell, Satan, and his fallen Angles. Nor your fate. Your arrogance changes nothing.
You sound more hypocritical than you accuse us of being ! You demand Tolerance. You insist on Open mindedness. But you insult, and judge Christians because of what WE believe. FOOL !

Hypocrites?
Yeah, I don't know whether or not all of them are but I had a bad experience with this Holly roller once that was "friends" with my mother, but actually, only collected her money forthe "CHURCH". She's crazy. Thinks she saw Jesus in her living room in the 80's and called my friend and I nuts because we saw a UFO.

thats makes you a wiccan/athiest. but you are judging to, so you are just as bad as the christians. But wiccans believe in gods and goddesses, so what are you anyways, you can't be a witch and believe in no god, so I think your just confused!!! I use to be wiccan and I am now a christian, so don't tell me you are a witch, because you know not of what you speak of.

Christians are people, that's why. Just because they have Christ doesn't mean that they will be completley transformed right away. They are working on it. They are hypocritical because when they preach the ideal, and the message of the gospel, they simply cannot live up to that ideal.
