If you don’t see that as evil, what then, an example of righteousness?

That is why EVERY Christian should read "The Screwtape Letters." I constantly witness Christians committing repugnant sins in blissful ignorance, because "it ain't lying, cheatin', or stealing,'"

I am with you, papertyger.

Nothing ruins my cheerios faster than those who “strain at gnats”, in other words, modern day Pharisees. These are sanctimonious, self-righteous, and often hypocritical people, who spend so much time picking the specks out of the eyes of others.

How is that for mixing up a bunch of biblical metaphors?

Sigh, but like the poor, I guess they are always with us, and always will be.

Some parts of every group is fringe, so Christians don’t have a corner on that market, nor are they free from it.

I agree with your premise.
