Too much of Christian morality is following a joyless, sexless life like Jesus Christ. There is too much focus on what you put in your body as opposed to how you treat others. I hear from too many family and friends that trite ass phrase "Treat your body like a temple." Basically, doing this involves eating raw broccoli and tofu and drinking only water if you take it literally. What morality and religious morality in particular misses to a large degree is how we treat each other. I have family members who go to church every sunday without fail for the past 20 years, but 6 out of 7 days of the week they are the most spiteful, vile creatures towards others of their own species. They believe going to church on Sundays and through faith alone, God will accept them in Heaven. What they forget is, God may ask the question, So Darla, I see you went to church every sunday, but how did you treat others throughout your entire life? How we treat others is how we are viewed by others. It shouldn't matter if your diet consists of rice, tofu and raw broccoli; what should matter is if you were nice to that asshole co-worker or not. |
dude i think you just described everyone at the church i went to before i just dropped it all, unfortunately it seems as though right now the system as a whole is set up to keep the status quo, there are a few exceptions but thats just my take on it
