Matt,
You are right, people in church are (well, not all, but lots of them) hypocrites. If this makes any sense...What a better way to destroy TRUE Chrisitanity than to make the "church" a bunch of hypocrites? Turns YOU off, right? Turns most of us off. The truth is that the church is NOT the bunch of people going to that building on Sundays. They are just people going to buildings and calling them "churches". The TRUE church is the body of Christ and by that, I mean those people who believe that Christ is who he says He is, and they are committed to following Him and to BEING JUST LIKE HIM.. Read any of the gospels. He was NOT a hypocrite. In fact, he condemmned them for being just that and turned instead to the prostitues, homeless, addicts, and fools to be His followers. Don't let what happens to you on Sunday mornings define your idea of church. That is just what THEY call it, doesn't make it so. Christ himself is the church, and anyone who professes Him as true and surrenders to being Him to the world around you. I am so sorry that you have these experiences at those Sunday buildings.....hang in there, maybe ask Him to show you who He REALLY is? Hang in there.
blessings
mary
