Hypocrisy

 Woe to you Christians, witnessing and professing you know the only way, hypocrites! For you go to church and offer songs of praise, you tithe and memorize scripture, you warn the end is near, never daring to utter a curse word; but inside you lack compassion. Robbers! You rob the poor, destitute and oppressed by spending what could be given to them on luxuries, feasting before your big screen TV! You feel justified because you pay your tithe and offer a lukewarm prayer for them. You blind Christian, first develop a charitable heart, filled with mercy, love and compassion for the downcast, and then the rest will be clean. 

That's my loose translation of Mt. 23:25, and it cuts me to the core.
