Pride, Idolatry and Hypocrisy: The Gospel according to the Christian Right

Christianity in America has lost its way. The cornerstone of the faith, Jesus Christ, possesses the virtues of kindness, meekness, humility, compassion and mercy. Today's national church leadership seems to stand for pride, prejudice, deception and greed. This writing stands as an indictment of those who have chosen to misrepresent the gospel. You pass judgment on others while practicing even worse things yourselves. You bow to the rich and powerful and are harsh toward the poor. You preach individual responsibility like we are all the same. Make no mistake about this: Most poor people are born into their circumstances and remain there because of limited opportunities available to them. Most well-off are born into their opportunistic, privileged circumstances. We are not all the same. The church has pushed its political agenda to the point of absurdity. How can it be an effective force for good when it offers condemnation instead of hope? Hope rests in the person of Jesus Christ, not in flawed, man-made, political ideology. America's ability to survive in the twenty-first century ultimately rests on the church's willingness to change its present course and pursue spiritual revival. Hopefully, Christians and non-Christians alike will find nutrition for the soul in this small book. In the future, demand loving deeds from the church, not pious words for show.
