I've done the church routine for many years and witness so much hypocrisy by God bearing people it soured me. I left the church disillusioned and vowed not to live my life being hypocritical.
I try to live my life according to the Golden Rule. You people on this forum know nothing about the goodness Tom & I have done for many charitable organizations. You know nothing about the countless soup kitchens we have worked in. Have you ever walked the streets of Detroit handing out food to the homeless? Have you ever sung Christmas carols in a nursing home? Have you done Meals On Wheels? Are you involved with Rainbow Connections or Fulfill A Dream? Have you ever welcomed a new person personally in TV? The list goes on. Small acts of kindness is powerful.
Tell me what you have done in the name of God to make other people's lives better. Do you live by The Golden Rule? Do you want to go to the Ocala National Forest with me to help feed the staving kids, and people there? I will come pick you up and together we can feed the hungry. It's not a pretty picture. PM me if you want to help out.

Hello, tippyclubb -- I was disillusioned myself many years ago with all of the hypocrisy that I saw in “church going people”. A number of years ago, however, I returned to Christ, and the church, and of course realized that every person in that church is a sinner. I certainly am. While I mostly live a good life, I certainly am a fallible human being. I am grateful that I can rub shoulders with others who believe similarly to me. So far I have not met a perfect and sinless person and have no expectation that I will.
I compliment Tom and you on your good works. More of us should be less selfish and I am in that camp. Each of us has to decide for ourselves what and how we assist those who truly are in need just as each of us must decide on which spiritual path we will take.
BTW, I can't tell you what is right for you. I only know what is right for me.
