Is humanity tiring just a little of watching "Christians" fill a world in dire need of compassion and tangible aid with nothing but their self-righteous hypocrisy and televangelism? We don't even need to mention the trillion-dollar debacle of destruction in Iraq and Afghanistan to illustrate the point:
... right wing evangelical fanatics like to point to states like "liberal" Massachusetts, holding it up as some sort of Sodom and Gomorrah. To the contrary, Massachusetts has the lowest divorce rate in the country at 2.4 per 1,000 population.
According to the U.S. Census Bureau, the states with the highest divorce rates are to be found in the Bible Belt, where they exceed by 50% the national average of 4.2 per thousand people. The 10 Southern states with some of the highest divorce rates were Georgia, Mississippi, Alabama, Arkansas, Oklahoma, North and South Carolina, Florida, Arizona and Texas. By comparison nine states in the Northeast -- where allegedly amoral, faithless, Volvo-driving, Birkenstock-wearing, NY Times-reading lefties are found -- were among those with the lowest divorce rates: Connecticut, Massachusetts, Maine, New Hampshire, New York, New Jersey, Pennsylvania, Vermont and Rhode Island. [emphasis added]
Perhaps these born-again Christians should actually practice what they preach. Family values? Now that's a joke.

The examples of the inability of "Christians" to conceive of what the original Christians were about are limitless:
Verily I say unto you, Inasmuch as ye have done it unto one of the least of these my brethren, ye have done it unto me.
— Matthew 25:40, KJV
Not included in the Gospels, but heeded to the letter just the same by all good "Christians", is a missing mystery verse that obviously overrides the Gospels:
Now go therefore and, in the name of Economics, find among your countrymen those that you deem unworthy — that is, the poor, the sick, the unemployed, the ethnically or racially different, the disabled, the mentally ill, or those you consider politically incompatible — and deprive as many of them of access to health care as you possibly can.
— From the Apocrypha? Newt Gingrich's Contract on America?
The Charter of the Southern Baptist Convention?
The Halliburton/Enron/Blackwater Business Plan?
The Project for the New American Century to
Weaken and Bankrupt the American People in Ways
Even al-Qaeda Could Never Have Dreamed of?

How does the "Christian" deity overlook such hypocrisy? No classical deity, not even an Olympian, would have such chutzpah.
