Feelings About Church

I HATE church And all it stands for - Whatever that may be? Our churches are barely half filled with So-called Christians! But what are they really? Hypocrites. Cynics. Hateful people who don’t give a toss! All they care about is themselves. They don’t care about the people they hurt With their hypocrisy and cynicism. They don’t care about Being two-faced - it suits them. Perhaps the people in our churches Should take more notice of the Kind, sympathetic, unselfish Real genuine people In the outside world. If you ask me They are the true Christians of this world. They know how to help others. They know how to be unselfish. They don’t deal in lies And deceit wrapped up as Religion and being a Christian. Religion? What is that? Going to church because you have to? Following the same boring old routine Because it’s expected? Going through the motions Of this supposedly ‘exclusive club’ For people who like to think they are genuine! Where is God in all this mess? (If there is such a thing!) Why does He let people behave like this? Why don’t people genuinely care anymore? I do. I’m angry and bitter at this moment in time. Perhaps I don’t really mean what I say? But right now, this is how I feel. The church has nothing to offer me. No comfort. No strength. No love. Nothing. There is nothing here for me – Except emptiness.

Amen, write about it, we are the true church God wants to dwell within, very true one should be upset for even the churches are divided, it's a world without God dwelling within people is what we are seeing , this world rejects everything God has tried to do, always going back to own ways,only through the spirit of Christ can one be pulled out away from all this chaos, seek God through Christ for your self my friend, I am praying with you for change in a world of deception to find peace and love

An honest write, Lynn. "Judge not lest ye be judged" There is good and bad in all things and all will answer for what they are. "Where is God" He is watching. It was He who gave us freewill. Which is what you are exercising by speaking your heart. I liked your poem:)

Thank you. It was written a long time ago when I was very angry about things that went on.
