...Why Christians aren't quieter?

---

Matthew 7:5

You hypocrite, first take the log out of your own eye, and then you will see clearly to take the speck out of your brother's eye.



Matthew 6:1

Beware of practicing your righteousness before other people in order to be seen by them, for then you will have no reward from your Father who is in heaven.



Matthew 7:1-5

Judge not, that you be not judged. For with the judgment you pronounce you will be judged, and with the measure you use it will be measured to you. Why do you see the speck that is in your brother's eye, but do not notice the log that is in your own eye? Or how can you say to your brother, ‘Let me take the speck out of your eye,’ when there is the log in your own eye? You hypocrite, first take the log out of your own eye, and then you will see clearly to take the speck out of your brother's eye.




Matthew 6:5
And when you pray, you must not be like the hypocrites. For they love to stand and pray in the synagogues and at the street corners, that they may be seen by others. Truly, I say to you, they have received their reward.

Jude 1:16
These are grumblers, malcontents, following their own sinful desires; they are loud-mouthed boasters, showing favoritism to gain advantage.

And so on...

Yes Yes, I know the bible contradicts itself and basically states you should do the opposite of this also.  But why not choose the quieter option? 

Precisely why my favorite quote is: "Preach the gospel at all times and when necessary use words."

You are definitely a lot less irritating than most Christians who show up here.  That is why I am only rude to you occasionally.

My guess is, if we were neighbors, we would get along very well.  I do not discuss religion with my neighbors.
