I find it amazing at how many people that I know, whether they be family, friends or musical associates that sometimes use their religious faith as a crutch when they need it, but in the rest of their day to day existence they fornicate, smoke weed, drink alcohol, smoke tobacco, lie, deceive, steal, sell drugs, cheat on their wives, make bastard* kids out in the streets, and various other things that would be transgressions against their belief system.
(note: Bastard = a child created out of wedlock, meaning the parents were pleasuring and not married, i.e. sinful behaviour according to The Bible)
In debates with me over religion and faith, they tell me, 'We all fall short of the glory'. I say what a crock of cow crap. If you know the things you are doing are not right in the edicts of your religious faith, then why the hell keep doing them? What are you praying for? Apparently it is not working or helping, take your pick.
Sunday the churches are full, and soon as the people get out, they go back to doing what they did before they went to church.
Today for example, they are racing out to to see NFL playoff games. Some will have even given up monies that they do not have to spare in hopes that they will give a some sort of triple financial blessing from a deity. The minister drives the Mercedes or fancy Cadillac and some of the parishioners come in a hooptie that barely made it to the church parking lot.
In many Black churches as offering time comes they say, "Would a man rob God?".
Why not? Man (and woman) lie and deceive their faith (their God) on everything else.
They get tattoos and piercings (that is called defiling the temple God gave you); they practice acts of idolatry (joining fraternities sororities, lodges and other organizations that salute and uphold symbols, emblems and signs). They have sex, including sodomy (oral sex, anal sex, positions other than the missionary one) when they are not married or commit adultery when they are.
The zealots can't even get the calendar correct. The Sabbath Day is the seventh day of the week - hmmm isn't that Saturday? Just asking... LOL
Step up your game religious folks if you want others to be impressed that you are living the life you so prophecize to others about. If you don't show me that you are living what you are calling other folks out about - I am gonna let you have it, cherry picking folks.
You use the parts of your faith that are comfortable to you, but wanna jump on other folks for doing things you think are un-holy or un-Christian -like. Hmmpgh, the mirror is calling you.
Perhaps that person you are trying to preach to is not on your page or of your faith belief. After all in America we have a separation of church and state. This is a to each his (or her) own society.
I have often wondered when people are having an illness or going through something that seems very serious and the outcome may result in loss of life or very adverse consequences, why people say pray for me? Is God not already aware and in control of these things? Are the petitioners questioning the wisdom of the Most High?
I believe it is what it is and the way of the world/universe shall be unaltered by anything man does or says.
Karma is a b**** isn't it? I like the late Barry White's song, "Practice What You Preach".
Re-Mix, if not, 'Then Shut The Eff Up'. LOL
Just saying...
