I believe that all of religions came from cultural myths that spread over time and became the massive religions that we know today. All though, I do believe the values in all positive religious are absolutely right, we should treat one another with love, BUT that's another topic.

My question is why are religious people such hypocrites? It's like most religious people are active in their religion to uphold their "holy" image, when 9 times out of 10 they are the ones with the most blood on their hands. It's just ashame.

Can anyone answer why this is so. Intelligent answers only please, and I will be awarding a best answer.

Although most Christians are NOT hypocrites some most certainly are so.For some the church has become a hide-out for scoundrels;it provides them with a safe and easy to access social gathering place to go where they will be free from close scrutiny and suspicion.The most extreme example of this phenomenon occurred in the BTK case which involved a serial murderer who had been elected President of his church which allowed him to have night access to the church where he took one of his victims so that he could murder her on the church alter.

For others,their faith becomes an important psychological tool that they use to get the monkey of guilt off their back by believing that they are forgiven for all of their sins.A portion of this group then goes further into a church head trip by using Bible teachings to aggressively condemn others for engaging in the same sin they are emmessed in; a pathological guilt-reducing game.:stop glass:
