So yeah, they'll go to church and pray, and kill the next day. And they are quite comfortable with their decisions because they can justify what they do in their own minds.







My point exactly. I am not perfect by any means so could never preach one thing whilst I practice the opposite. That is the main reason why I reject religion and all the hypocrisy associated with it.
I do observe similar standards to those ten commandments because I agree with them morally....not because I am told to by religious folk who reluctantly accept them.
