Jesus was a carpenter. How do you think he'd run his business? What kinds of people do you think he'd refuse service to?

The only people Jesus ever rebuked or called vile were the pious pharisees. The only people he ever showed anger towards were the charlatans in the temple (and I suppose the disciples from time to time).

You have so much animosity towards people you disagree with. You think it's noble to refuse to serve them. You think you're standing up for what's right, but in reality you're standing on top of people you see as below you. The bible talks a lot about this kind of behavior. It's not what Jesus preached.

If Christianity today actually practiced what it preached and got off of it's politically-motivated high horse I probably would never have scrutinized it enough to leave. But I encountered so much hypocrisy and greed I had to reconcile my faith with my religion. My faith won.

I'd follow someone like Jesus in a heartbeat, but all I can find is self-assured bigotry.
