Hypo-something Christians.....please, enlighten me

My entire life. Well, my life up until I ended up at a uber-liberal arts college, raised me as a God-fearing Roman Catholic. Seeing as though my religion extends the olive branch into the world of massive rule-bending, I can only assume that others will do the same/follow suit.

Life as a Catholic has taught me acceptance and DEFINITELY a realization that we are all very different (especially what with the pedo priest incidents that have been brought to the public eye in the past years......not to say that other religions are just as bad....just google it and you will hopefully agree). It doesn't matter how different we are.

The point is not that there are definite faults in how I was raised to conceptualize the Lord. No, not even close. I realize that each denomination has it's own merit, pro and con, truth or false, in accordance to what they were taught to believe (except for Scientologists.......I mean, c'mon, who hasn't seen that South Park episode?? Atom bombs dropped from 747s into volcanoes???). The fact remains that we all believe in a higher being, period.

I just cannot sit here and listen to rhetoric that just does not compute. Believe it or not, we came from apes, God didn't just pull a classic Simpsons move and tap parts of the earth to create trees and LCD TVs and ReadyBoost and running water and 3G networks and SEO and everything that is around us. That just makes ZERO sense.

It is hard to convey this considering I am a card-carrying NRA and GOP member, but still, there has to be a point where you just have to sit back and say "Okay, look, chances are pretty good that we didn't just show up here and handle our shit and civilize". Myself as well as pretty much everyone I know can attest to the fact that their daily lives would not even exist to the point that they are had it not been for a little theory called evolution. But I digress.

But if we start to dissect individuals within a certain religion and still allow those differences to protrude through YET still make them acceptable......well then, a big F U to that. Case in point: If person A and person B claim the same faith, they are equal, right? Now, what if person A says/acts out in a way that is totally contradictory to the way that person B claims to act, how the hell do you decipher what is the real modus operandi of their belief system? I truly do not know, and that is the crux of this whole issue for me.

In lay terms, here is a real life example: Two people, guy (A) and girl (B), they hang out. Both claim to be in tune with their faith. (B) makes passes, finds out (A) is all about a potential future with (C)....all the while , (B) has professed her commitment to (D). (A) denies (B) because he wants to see where the future lies with (C). (B) figures this out and pretends that the attempt at (A) never happened so that (D) will not even question this. And for the record, (D) is outside of this faith so he really isn't involved in this equation, he is an outsider. However, (D) has been trying to immerse himself into this yet he is being shut out of the entire picture, even though he has made it clear that he wishes to engage in knowledge that would make him part of it. As soon as (D) queries (B) about a simple question regarding this way of life...........his ass get's hung up on.

"Oh but he's a good Christian guy, he doesn't need to do that with other women".....
.....oh but you are a 'good Christian girl, you don't need to do that with other guys'....


It never ends.
