Ah religion, alter boys and priests…..yep, people are far from perfect. The hypocrites? Definitely not the alter boys in this equation. If everyone lived by Karma the world would be a better place.
I would say that most people can be pretty relentlessly unforgiving of those seen as putting themselves above the crowd. Remember when Clinton was being raked over the coals for a sexual indiscretion? During that same period, Jesse Ventura, then governor of Minnesota, was awarded a lifetime membership from a brothel in Nevada and I don’t remember anyone making a big deal of Jesse’s indiscretions… Jesse was no Rhodes scholar, no born-again anything, just a dumb ex-marine with no pretensions and people accepted that.
Never mind the fact that public school teachers — married teachers at that — molest students at a rate 5-10 times higher than priests do; but no one wants to tear down public schools.

All’s I know is that my Karma ran over my Dogma.

It’s refreshing to see someone who truly knows what the word “hypocrite” means and who doesn’t throw it around to hurt innocent people.

We Christians try to live by God’s Word. We aren’t perfect though. There’s always room for improvement.
