The Hypocrisy of Religion

You tell us to have faith that God will take care of all for us and never seek revenge because vengeance is the mine saith the Lord but you gather an armory of all types of weapons, support gun laws that say it is alright to kill and swear by the firearm you carry all while claiming to be the ultimate Christian.  How can that be true on its face when your own actions contradict it?  If you truly believed in what you preach, what you teach and what you claim, why do you walk around armed, lock your doors and hire security for your churches?  If you truly believed what you want so many of us to believe then why not leave the safety of you and your family to God.

People often wonder why preacher’s kids, lawyers’ kids, those who come from wealthy families and even those unfamiliar sects like the Amish are shrinking and often act worse than those hailing from poor families.  Well wonder no more because it all comes from seeing the hypocrisy first-hand.  Imagine seeing your parents being lauded upon as if they were rock stars and seeing people hanging on their every word only to see a completely different person living in the same house.  The group who says that God loves everyone and that we should never judge but after the lights dim and the camera is cut off, they do nothing but judge and spew hatred about one group or another.  Imagining living with that hypocrisy day in and day out.  Finally you get a chance to escape and you make a choice, leave or stay.  If you leave then you might have a chance at growing up and becoming the type of person you thought your parents were or you stay and become them. 
This is especially true for those who call themselves residing in the “Bible Belt” where they say we should hate gays, deny others the right to vote, tell a woman what she can do with her body while proclaiming to be the most religious of all people but don’t step foot upon their property without being invited because they are also well known for shooting first and asking questions later or pushing military involvement in every instance.  Can you not now see the damage you do to your own family?  Gays are not causing the breakup of the “American Family” you are with all your hypocrisy, get a clue.

And not let us forget about those preachers, teachers and leaders who now openly invite Satan into their churches by asking for money that they say belongs to God when even Jesus himself said that it didn’t.  They think having picnics, bake sales, praise dancing and yes even weddings and funerals upon church grounds are a good thing.  Jesus said that the “his father’s house” was strictly for the service of God and nothing else and the Bible tells us that marriage is not a God thing but a man thing so how who do you truly believe?

Our hypocrisy is what is allowing Satan to get such a grip on our lives and why we are losing so much control of our very soul.  It has nothing to do with any other race, creed, color, sex or religion.  It all rests with us and it’s time to stop with the blame game and take responsibility for what you do or don’t do.  It’s time to own your choices and start holding ourselves accountable.  Parents who send their kids to any place that they know is not performing as they should are just as guilty as those who are there not performing.  Stop blaming the lack of education upon teachers because you as a parent are a teacher too.

Movie Review-Harlan Coben's Shelter

  The movie Shelter is based on the bestselling series by Harlan Coben, it follows the story of Mickey Bolitar (Jaden Michael) after the death of his father leads him to start a new life in suburban New Jersey. When another new student disappears, Mickey finds himself tangled in a web of secrets. With the help of two new friends, Spoon (Adrian Greensmith) and Ema (Abigale Corrigan), they reveal a dark underground that may hold the answers to decades of disappearances. Keeping me totally engrossed from the first episode to the last was not really the storyline or the actions and dramas, it was how awesomely those actors and actresses played their roles.   It seemed so effortless, watching them, that it was easy to forget it was a movie/series. I could not control my anxiousness to start the next episode.   Not many movies can make me feel the same emotions that the players were supposed to feeling but man, this was one and that journey this series took me on was one that I must go on

The Determination of History to Repeat Itself is Due to our Cowardice to Stop It

  America has always been the land of opportunity however we have become lax in our efforts to ensure that this right is made available for all of us to achieve and enjoy.   Far too often, those who see themselves in a position of authority or great wealth begin to confuse themselves with an idea that since you may be thought of as successful, means your now have the power and authority to dictate to everyone else. This lying power makes those allowed to flex it feel bigger and better than they really are.   It gives them a false sense of righteousness and security over all people, places, and things which must be corrected before we completely lose our very humanity. Every last one of us knows this is wrong but history has allowed these individuals to exercise this false position of power without consequences and punishment. Every one of us is guilty of sitting on our hands and waiting on someone else to save us instead of finding our own intestinal fortitude to save ourselves.   We

Something to Think About Regarding These State’s Abortion Bans

  According to an article titled “The Conversation- A concise history of the US abortion debate, by Treva B. Lindsey, Professor of Women's, Gender and Sexuality Studies, The Ohio State University, Published: June 10, 2019, https://theconversation.com/a-concise-history-of-the-us-abortion-debate-118157 . History has again been totally ignored and the lesson lost.   This being the case, it bears out the great need for educated people to finally diagnose history as it happens and make the necessary changes to ensure that this particular piece of history is not constantly repeated. Consider this, “While many may think that the political arguments over abortion now are fresh and new, scholars of women’s, medical and legal history note that this debate has a long history in the U.S.   It began more than a century before Roe v. Wade. As of 2019 “around 1962 the Food and Drug Administration approved the first commercially produced birth control pill, Enovid-10. Although various forms of b
