A discussion around family table.

[AngelThMan]

My family is VERY catholic, to the point where they invite a priest to lunch at least once a week. They do not know im an atheist so i try to suffer through that. However last week an interaction caught my attention.

The priest was talking about a Romanian homeless guy who still came to his Church every week, apparently not for shelter but for belief. He did not even beg for money there. But the priest said he was troubling the rest of the people (smell, mostly) and ended up getting him thrown out by the police, and they were laughing about it with all the ever-present immigration jokes...

Isnt the Church the ONE place on Earth where this guy should not be persecuted, judged by what he looks like and should be helped ? To me this was not much, but it was enough to know that hypocrisy is the key word in Christianity. It disgusted me.

So now you're going to use this case of one selfish priest to dismiss Christianity as hypocritical? Nevermind that there are millions of Christian missions throughout the world that help people. Just next month, a group of Christians I know are traveling to Africa with their church to work on expanding an orphanage, and build a playground for children.
