Hypocrite With A Capital "C"

We must face it as Christian Fundamentalists, or at least those of us who are not afraid to say that we are, we are all hypocrites. We "fundies" have been caught at our own game of self-righteousness, after attempting to stand for years in the public eye as a moral beacon, but in our private lives being all degenerates.

Pandagon has helped me to see the light with this post.

We all must admit now that when the collection plate comes around, we all take a few bucks for ourselves out of the plate after it passes the old people. We must all admit that we get drunk playing poker at our girlfriend's house, who most likely is the preacher's wife or daughter, before repenting on Sunday. And let's not forget that we all surf the web daily for porn.

Yes, we must all admit our hypocrisy. After all, if you are a "fundie", you are inclined to look at the world with a pious eye while partaking in the pleasures of sin out of sight of the world, that is, until we get caught.

I mean, of course, we admit that we are sinners. We even admit that we do not deserve the grace of God and His Son, whom we should now refer to as "Jeebus" (if we want to be on the un-hypocrital, non-judgemental, smarter-than-everybody-else crowd).

Nevermind that there are very few "fundies" as a whole who are guilty of actually of scamming little old ladies out of their money. And to note that we would question those, especially in leadership positions in the church, as to their sincerity of faith, as we know faith begets good works, would not be relevant. Because of the actions of a few who pose to be "fundies", we are all guilty and thus Christianity as a whole is debunked as a myth.

Yes, friends, we should be like the homosexuals that we have criticized and castigated for so many years. They are honest enough to admit to their behavior, although they will not admit that it is deviant. If we are honest, we would realize that it is not our faults that we Christian "fundies" are all guilty of having adulterous affairs with the preacher or his wife, but we were born this way. Maybe it's the "Dobsonian" method of child rearing that makes us this way. Either way, we cannot help it, because it is in our nature to steal, lie, and cheat. We should not try to hold ourselves to a higher standard of living because of the commands of our God, because of His grace.

In fact, we already admit that we are born in sin. And we are not better than anyone other human walking the face of the earth. We just try to "keep ourselves unspotted from the world".
