85% of non-believers in their 20's have concluded that Christianity is hypocritical. Among young churchgoers, 47% feel the same way. A 29 year old said this: "You could say I am a lot like Christians -- I have gotten good at telling people what I think they want to hear. I see why Christians do it. They want to look good. I guess I don't really see the harm in it."
The real issue is that there is not difference in the lifestyle of believers and non-believers. Christians are just as likely to gamble, to be involved in pornograghy, to steal, to consult a psychic, to get legally drunk, to lie, to hold a grudge, or to gossip.
The other indictment is that most Christians say that the heart of Christianity is keeping rigid rules and regulations. I don't that that is the heart of our faith, but the majority do. And then Christians don't live at a higher moral and ethical level than anyone else.
Thus the label Hypocrit. Lack of biblical, spiritual transformation due to lack of honesty with God about ourselves. What do you think?
