You sound like the people that tell me all Americans are fat and greedy. It really doesn't work like that, and usually the ones pointing the fingers are the least entitled to do so.

I would suggest that you best utilize your efforts to perfect yourself. Nobody is going to be enticed to study the bible because you insult them. You may deem youself Holier than me, but I care about God's opinion, and will leave it to Him to help me. I am concerned however, that there are people that don't know God at all. If your cruel assessments of fellow Christians are a possible reflection on Christian faith, we are in trouble. It doesn't look very appealing.

Your post is exactly why so many people are turned off from religion. They get a perspective that is ugly and distorted. Our God is Love. We are all his children, even the least of us.

Excellent points.

We can only know God in Truth. Apart from that whatever may seem Godly is as the bible says "filthy rags".

All that is known of God through Marianism is exactly that, filthy rags. Knowing God through His Holy Word is Knowing God.

Yes, dear mgist. God IS love,but He is also a God of Justice. You can’t run away from Him forever, as some try to. His justice will be meted out eventually.
