Best Answer - Chosen by Asker: cause midgets are creepyWww@QuestionHome@Com There is a difference between what Christian Churches teach, and what individuals who are Christian, live!. You may say it is hypocritical, however it is a standard that was set forth by Jesus, who Christians believe is God!. It is the only religion on earth in which their God took the form of a human, and taught his own teachings directly in person!. Christianity aims high, and sometimes it is very hard for individuals of a church to live up to- but we try; some are more successful then others!. Just because you meet some individuals who are unchristian like, doesn't mean they are the spokesperson for Christianity!.Www@QuestionHome@Com Churches, just like televangelists, want one thing only: Your money!. They will tell you anything to get it and "little people" as you so aptly put it, don't have much to give!. So they are therefore useless to the money grubbers running churches!. I know that I am cynical, but I've seen it over and over again, year after year!. If you doubt what I am saying find an old movie starring Burt Lancaster called Elmer Gantry!. Elmer Gantry was the epitome of evangelists!. It is a fantastic movie--my favorite!.Www@QuestionHome@Com If by ''little people,'' you mean that the Church rejects dwarves, I've never heard of such a thing!. Excommunication is a disciplinary action that aims to correct a person's behavior!. It is a last resort!. Once that person has come to repentance and works out his or her problems with a clergyman (by means of confession and absolution), he or she may renew his or her membership in the Church, and all misdeeds are to be forgotten!.Www@QuestionHome@Com because the Church is hypocritical and stupid!. one can point to a million other examples!. its not like this is the only one!. edit: yeah!. just to be fair, i do think religion is a bunch of crap, however i have never heard of the church rejecting midgets, and i was a Catholic for 18 years before i became atheist!.Www@QuestionHome@Com Christian living is a process; not perfection!.Www@QuestionHome@Com you just been looking at the wrong church look at the lakewood church in tx!. god blessWww@QuestionHome@Com I don't think that they do!.!.!.Www@QuestionHome@Com |
