A Truth Moment

You support and idolize a bigot, a racist, a rapist, a liar, a cheat, and a cruel person, declaring them to be sent by God.

You jeer, ridicule, and belittle, individuals of higher morals and better character for the simple reason that they are not one of you--your religious group, race, and/or political party.

At the same time, you marginalize, demonize, and scripture whip folk who make personal choices regarding their dress and bodies (which will turn into dust one day, anyway) rather than focusing on the important eternal matter of the state of their heart/soul.

When your hypocrisy is called out, you cry religious persecution. In reality, the religious are really the ones wearing the persecutor's hat.

How can you tell someone about the love of God when you don't demonstrate it yourself and support things/individuals that do not represent love?

How can you tell someone that God has no respect of person, when you do?

How can you tell someone, sin stinks in the nostrils of God, when you revere and label a bigot, a liar, a cheat, a racist, a rapist, and a cruel person as being sent by Him?

It's sad...it's troubling...it's a travesty. What? The hypocrisy and inconsistency.

God help us!

The Confessions of Mae B. Yew I've Got a Man! June 03, 2010 The last time we spoke I was sportin’ a goose egg on my forehead (compliments of Momma). If you missed my last confession, you can find it at Momma and the Goose Egg . Shortly after I lost my mind and blew up at Momma, I apologized because I was wrong. I don’t know how ya’ll were raised, but I was taught to never ever disrespect my momma. Do you know what she did? Momma kissed my goose egg and said, “Baby, I’m sorry I put this thing on your beautiful face.” She hugged me real tight, and her gardenia perfume drifted over me in a loving, fragrant cloud. That was sweet wasn’t it? Wait. There’s more. Then she said, “But if you ever speak to me like that again, I’ll knock you into tomorrow, then love on ya just like this when you come to.” What can I say? That’s my momma. Enough about Momma and my goose egg. Ya’ll, I’ve got a man! When I became a Christian, I’m not sure what happened. Men of substance stopped coming near me, an...
