Holier than Thou.

This is the ideal philosophy shared by many of today's "crazy christians". However, not even just the crazy ones, the "normal" ones too. The Holier than Thou concept is one of many things that annoy me about organized religion. I know everybody hates the girl that claims to be "more spiritual than religious", but it's true. That's what I am. That's who I am. I may not exactly know what I believe, and I can't pinpoint it exactly, but I do know that I hate despise organized religion. The Holier than Thou idea is what bugs me the most. It's a bunch of people who can look at you and say, "In the eyes of the Lord, I'm more clean than her," and feel no shame in judgement. They are judging, and feel...nothing. It's these people, who will never come out and say that they are better than me, but obviously think that, that make me lose hope in humanity. It's not the people who are in charge of BP, it's not the people who kicked that bum's coin jar, it's not even the simpletons that Las Vegas houses. It's Holier than Thou Christians. These people will be our downfall.

For example, it's that girl in youth group, the one you shared your secrets with. Then later on, during prayer time, she brings them up, in hopes of "praying for you". Are you kidding me?

I get it though, some of the things that I do would be considered immoral, however where do you get off acting like you are better than me? How dare you. How dare you judge me even for a second. You are neither perfect, nor "holy", so stop acting like the present day Jesus. You're not. You're a hypocrite. That is exactly what you are.

Now, many Christians out there are going to read this post and say, "Hey! I know I'm not perfect! I do that sometimes, but I try not to! Blah Blah Blah!" First of all, calm down. I know not every person out there who believes in God is doing this. I know not every one of them is a hypocrite. There are many who act on what they believe, and that is something to admire. What I am saying is: Never look down upon someone who is different and may not share your common beliefs...we are all human. We have this thing called "free-will". Maybe you've heard of it. Well, if you haven't, it's something that every human on the face of this planet possesses. It's something that allows us to make our own life choices, whether it lead to something good or bad, it's our choice.

So attention to all Holier than Thou buttheads: Shut up. No one wants to hear it anymore. You are no better than us "mere mortals," so shove a sock in it.

  1. AGH! That drives me crazy too! I'm not quite sure what I believe either, but I was part of a christian group at school for two years before that attitude started to drive me up a wall.

  2. Girl, welcome to my life. One of my "friends" (ex-"friend" now) told me I was under the influence of demons. This is why I am gay. THE DEMONS!!!

  3. Alex, I'll pray for your soul. We can even hold an exorcism to get the demons out of you!
