Has anyone else noticed that Christians are sometimes the most amoral, hypocritical and "unchristian" people out there? Some of the Christians I know pull the most crazy shit! They do things I would never do! They treat people like crap, only think of themselves and are always wanting money and material things!

how is treating people like crap not christian? when does one get to admit that if the majority of christians behave a certain way, that's how christians behave? i don't think of amorality and hypocrisy as unchristian. i think of them as very christian. it is one of the gazillion reasons i've never had any desire to be christian.

Sometimes? Most xtians use their religion to allow themselves to commit any immoral act, and then get "forgiven" for it so that they can do it again and again.

We've noticed. Indeed, we have noticed

I believe that the point of religion is allow oneself feel moral while doing immoral things. Religion facilitates acting in ones own self interest. Religion is social narcissism.

Good point!

This falls in line with most "posers" . . . . they go around posing to be something they are not, and usually are the exact opposite of what they pose to be.

"One obstacle to liberty, is the poisonous role played by fellow primates of mine, who think they can tell me what to do, in the name of god, because god has told them that they have this power. So that is one thing I would like to be shot of, right here in the here and now, and my suspicion is, if they really are so religious, where do they want power, in what world they care about, the next one, or this one . . . . . it will be this one every time because they too, know perfectly well, that this is the only life we have got."

Well, DUH. Since these days being a Christian usually = being a white supremacist, many don't even pretend to care about people anymore.
