Huffington post article today: "My Emancipation from American Christianity"

RE: Huffington post article today: "My Emancipation from American Christianity"
(December 5, 2015 at 1:45 pm)Wyrd of Gawd Wrote: Out of the entire world population of Christians it's doubtful if more than five follow more than a few of Jesus' sayings in the Sermon on the Mount.  They might not kill, they might not get divorced, they might not commit actual adultery and that's about it.

And forget about "judge not lest ye be judged."

Of course, it's not really them doing the judging but their god . . . so they say. Somehow, I find their hiding behind their god to express their own prejudices and judgments about others much more contemptible than if they just openly passed judgment on others and owned it.

Obviously, this doesn't apply to all Christians, but it's safe to say that it applies to many.
