this is about people who pretend to be holy and act holier than thou but really they act petty and pathetic and sin worse than anyone else because they cant even admit it although they point out faults in others


you make me feel sinful
with all your quoted scriptures
but they only matter in your mind
because theyre meaningless to your heart
you pretend to be holy
preach one way and act another
interpret the bible your own way
but take other parts too literal
both to back up your wrong opinions
you can take your religion
do whatever you want with it
but keep it away from me
i dont want it
i may be a sinner
but i admit it
you are one too
just hiding behind a facade
you think your holier than thou
that your **** doesnt stink
you lie and spread rumors
like it barely counts as sin
then preach about evil teen sex
and how horrible it is
but all sins are equal
so dont judge others unless first you judge yourself




Its better to be hated for who you are than loved for who you are not

I liked this one...I know what you mean about people judging other people so fast. I loved the last line, it was a really good way of ending the poem.

Wow. I wish more Christians could read that. That was painful... I used to be like that (no more, though! I smartened up!). Now I'm sick of my fellow Christians who are like that. Makes me want to throw up.

This was great. All this goes back to the reformation........you've express this well.



I was born myself, raised myself, and will continue to be myself. The world will just have to adjust.

You make a good point here that people like this need to realize their own faults too.  Good job of expressing this!
