I just think Christianity, and religion as a whole - seem to have religious 'standards' that often can't be lived up to, and yet they still preach it at other people.

Actually the sum of Christianity is contradiction. We start off as sinnners and try to live as good a life as Jesus would have wanted, knowing we'll never attain that. It would be very hypocritical without personal accountability. Our society, I feel, is drifting away from personal accounatbility and that of course bleeds into some religion. I do see the inevtable downfall of religon as an institution as a likely event, I'm just concerned at the cost that has.
"There ought to be a term that would designate those who actually follow the teachings of Jesus, since the word 'Christian' has been largely divorced from those teachings, and so polluted by fundamentalists that it has come to connote their polar opposite: intolerance, vindictive hatred, and bigotry." -- Philip Stater, Huffington Post
