a dozen men changed the world 2000 years ago and filled people with the spirit of God.
2.1 billion "christians" are having trouble showing the love of Christ to people.

churchianity is a pagan religion. We are called to come out of it that we not recieve its plagues. True belief is faithful to the Scriptures.

Yes, many are. Christianity is something people do rather than what they are. Meet your church obligation on Sunday and your in. I'm afraid there's a rude awakening a coming.

Oh yes.

Seriously! The greatest command is to love God with all our heart and then the second is to love thy neighbor, yet so many of us spend our time BASHING non-believers instead of loving them. So many of us spend our time looking out for #1. How backwards we have become.

that's the place you lose it: "Say they want everybody to be healthful yet against usual wellness care. Say they look after the destructive yet are against something that helps the destructive if it comes from tax funds." at the beginning, no longer all Christians share the comparable political ideals. Secondly, no longer all people who've those political ideals are Christians. As for UHC: people who do no longer want usual wellness care DO want human beings to be healthful. they do exactly no longer think of the standard wellness care form will achieve this. in certainty, some human beings think of that is going to reason greater problems than that is going to resolve. As for the destructive: The arguments are no longer approximately helping the destructive who particularly desire help. The arguments are approximately no longer helping people who're basically being lazy and irresponsible via getting rid of funds from people who've been stressful-working and to blame. The arguments are that we'd desire to continuously be helpful and celebrating fulfillment, no longer penalizing it, and that charity could be a call, no longer a central authority mandate. to no longer point out, you need to declare that there are people who're for abortion yet against death effects, for freedom yet want to suppress Christianity, etc. Hypocrites are available in all communities.

I can't say that the majority of US are hypocrites because I don't fall into that stereotype. I try to live a life pleasing unto God...at times I may fail because I am not without sin, but I do my best and try to be a little better everyday. Are some Christians hypocrites? Yes...I can admit to that. But...they will just have to deal with God on that one. It's not right for any of us to pass judgment on the other.

Let me pull out my dictionary:
Hypocrisy:
1.a pretense of having a virtuous character, moral or religious beliefs or principles, etc., that one does not really possess.
2.a pretense of having some desirable or publicly approved attitude.
3.an act or instance of hypocrisy.
In that light, I would say the majority of Christians are probably kind, well-meaning people that try to get by and explain this weird life thing the best they can. So to answer your main question, no, I don't think they are.
The two lines below that, well, I don't really get.

The only thing that Christianity had going for it was Jesus. Jesus could have been nothing more than a good man who was crucified, and people still would have worshipped him, but they had to embellish it with resurrection, and heaven and hell, and sin, and all that crap that makes it a meaningless fairytale. Most of what I see is "how do I get into heaven" or "If I did this, will I still get into Heaven", or a lot of talk about who gets in and who doesn't, and why. It's worse than Studio 54. There's no rhyme or reason to it. At least Studio 54 existed. These people all think they're Heaven's doormen, speaking on where the door is, how to find it, and what you have to do to go through it. Rubbish.

No, not hypocrites. Christians don't immediately become mature/perfect. All we Christians can count on as we seek God's power to change us in our lives is that ..."We are not where we WANT to be, but we are further along than we USED to be".
We still need the forgiveness granted us in Jesus atonement and we keep asking the Holy Spirit of God to give us more power to be more loving toward our neighbor.

Sad but true. Narrow is the gate, and few who find it. Most 'Christians' are into Christianity Lite, and are afraid to proclaim the obscenity of the Cross, the Sovereignity of God, and the worthlessness of human 'wisdom'.

I don't know if I would say a majority, but many are. I think that is a big reason why so many people on this site say such hateful things about us. Hopefully, they will be led to the Lord and can find fellow believers who do show them the love of Christ.
