everything (else) is meaningless

why is it that we picket the funerals of soldiers and hold hate in our hearts?
how can we protest gay marriage with a cigarette in our hands?
will we still criticize body mutilation as we fall further and further into obesity?
if we oppose our government and its secrecy, won't we end our own slander and greed?
shouldn't we realize that as we wear our trendy vegetarian t-shirts that people are dying at the hands of addition, ignorance, and poverty?

people say that Christians are hypocrites. can we make an attempt to not fit that description?


why is it that Christ spoke against religious hypocrisy much more that he did against the government? can't we realize that we live in a democracy, not a theocracy, and that our job is to be the BODY OF CHRIST, not a nation? let us forget the things of this world, the politics, the economic agendas, and focus on each other. get off your soapbox of conservatism, of liberalism, of trendy fads and cliques, and follow Christ. He is not a t-shirt, a label, an excuse. He is our purpose.
