In our churches, or homes, or schools? Why would they know anything...and why do they attack us?

To try to bring out those things which Christians are supposed to have let go of, and prove that there is nothing to Christianity. If they can get a professing Christian to begin showing anger and hatred toward them, then their purpose is served. It took me a while to learn this, and even longer for God to deal with me about it. I now just try to love them the best I can, even when they are goading me to try and bring out anger.
If you are a Christian, then you MUST deal with them out of love, like a parent trying to deal with a hardheaded child. Love them and leave the rest to God.

Unfortunately, they have spotted our weakness...hypocrisy.
We talk a good talk, but too many are failing to walk the walk.
Instead of being humble, we have allowed ourselves to become complacent and self-righteous, even, dare I say it, arrogant.
Instead of being devout, we have allowed our churches to become wacky side shows where all sorts of nonsense goes on, from people flopping over because the pastor touched them, to mooing, clucking, and howling like animals, all attributed to the Holy Spirit.
Any kid can tell you that neither Jesus or the apostles ever acted the way Christians do today.
If I did not know Jesus, and modern Christianity were my only view, I probably would laugh at Christians myself.
Thing is, the church is in apostasy. Too many pastors are in it for the money, sad but true. Too many Christians have bought the most outrageous deceptions about the Holy Spirit imaginable. Come on now, you see people lining up at an altar to be "slain" and you don't hear demonic laughter in the background? Can you not smell the sulfer when a preacher cannot even read one verse from the Bible without crowing like a rooster?
And you wonder why???
Professing to be Christians, and yet, when a young girl flaunts authority and boldly thanks God in her valedictorian speech and gets her mic cut, did anyone raise their voice in protest at the gross violation of her Constitutional rights? NO???
Then why in the world would you expect anyone to take Christianity seriously, when even Christians don't?????
People of God it is time to WAKE UP!!!
It is nearing midnight, and the Bridegroom will be here soon!!!!!!
I am a Christian because I love Jesus, but I am full of despair for His church. Judgment begins in the house of the Lord.
