asking for money if you don't attend Church? If you're never there, how do you know what goes on? If you don't attend Church, it's doubfult that you watch or listen to Christian programming, how do you know about the money asking? If you don't attend Church, how do you know if a person is a hypocrite? You're not there to see if the so called Christian, really goes to Church or not.. If you don't contribute to a Church, why does it bother you if they ask for money? It doesn't effect you! Why ridicule a hyprocrite? You should get along well with that sort of person.

The church is a hospital for sinners. We are hypocrites but God forgives us when we keep ourselves humble and ask forgiveness. : )
Non-believers do not even try to live up to God's will for us. It is the easiest thing to be critical of others. : )

A lot of non believers used to go to church. I am one of them. Even though I don't go anymore I still occasionally watch or read things about or by these people. No one should comment on something that they know nothing about. It bothers me that churches spend so much money on the church buildings. Making them bigger and better. This is money wasted that could feed and or cloth many. They should use more of it to help people including thier own members who are in financial trouble.
Why should we get along with hypocrites? We are honest about what we think and how we believe. Maybe you don't know the meaning of the word hypocrite.

Why do you think non-beleivers never go to church? People get married, die all the time, we go to church too. Along side all the believers who go only every time there is a wedding or funeral too. Why do I think people are hypocrits? Well let me see; my uncle goes to church every SUNDAY, gives loads and loads of money to the church, leaves there goes to DRINK at the local watering hole and comes home and beats his wife, but heck he a GOOD CHRISTIAN MAN! Trust me, there are many, many people just like him. I am not saying everyone's like that, just from what I have seen about humanity; everyone's got some skeleton in da closet and going to church every SUNDAY and acting all believer like doesn't get you a one way ticket to heaven now does it?

You think it's really changed since I used to belong? The Church, change? That's an oxymoron alright! When some kids from the church come knocking on my door with a slotted can, am I supposed to keep on thinking they haven't changed? The can has the church's name on it, the church kids are holding it, and the church is NOT asking for money and I shouldn't be bothered? When did YOU notice I wasn't in church last week?

why on earth would I get along with a hypocrite?
and it's not a secret that churches ask for money.
I've known Christians who behaved quite hypocritically. which is not to say that is true of all Christians, but there have been countless scandals over the years of these TV evangelists getting caught doing that for which they criticize and judge others.

What makes you think we have never been to church or seen a religious program? Why does asking for money bother me? A lot of people will give money to the church and then deprive themselves of medicine and food. All in an attempt to gain favor with the church. My mother in law was one of them. I get along with almost anyone who does not preach at me or condemn me for my beliefs. Do you?

Since Christianity talks about loving your fellow man, turning the other cheek, and all that, your question is an example of hypocritical thinking.

Most of us used to go to church. Plus we have friends who still go to church.

Who says nonChristians have never been to church?
I don't have to live in DC to know politicians lie.

OK, and your point is? I'm going to have fun trying to attempt to understand all this rambling.
Nope, I don't understand.
And um, former Christian here, with Christian friends, mind you.
