What I don't understand is why they do not do the same for the breaking of the sabbath.
Like, they do not follow the law of Moses, yet they have decided on certain things that are considered to be sinful.
Christianity is, as a matter of fact, a religion that is not really stable.
One cannot decide on what to believe, unless one chooses to follow a tradition.
And well, God's love is, again via scripture, to those who accept it.
And there are certain restrictions and limitations. God obviously had no love for overtly sinful and foul nations like Sodom and Gomorrah, something that must be taken into accord, and the law of Moses states that sodomites are to be put to death when discovered.
There actually is no "contradiction" or "hypocricy". I think there is only confusion within christianity.
Religion does not help at all, but instead making things more worse - considering Dark age, burning witch on strikes, child abuse, misogyny, homophobic. Christians [I don't know if they are ignorant to the scriptures of slavery] contradict themselves that slavery is immoral, but the practice of slavery is condoned in the bible.

It does not make sense.That is not what I am trying to say. There's an saying something like Theists' way like "Forgive, forget and letting it go" - To remove the burden of responsibility [or guilty] without learning an lesson. It's almost like under arrest the multiple-DUI offender always say he'll stop drinking.
The bible had a verse that supports this, but I can't find it.
The guilt factor, again, is the same. If you seek forgiveness for wrongdoing from a fellow men, and he forgives you, you do not feel guilt.
If you seek forgiveness from God, and the scripture is in your favour, you feel no more guilt towards God.

I'm not excluding christians.

The beliefs in god may be delusional, but I'm somewhat glad Christians are sane enough not to follow immoral verses [disciplining a child, for example] like Exodus 21:15, 17, Leviticus 20:9, Deuteronomy 21:18-21, Proverbs 22:15.
