All you need is love

Okay, I feel another rant coming on...
I just can't wrap my mind around the hypocrisy of "religion." Of course it isn't every person or group, but there are enough in the South to give us a bad name. I know that Reagan wrote about this, but it's something that really rubs me the wrong way. I was always taught to treat everyone equally with respect and love. But, similar to what Reagan was saying, I discovered that those people do the exact opposite of what they preach. You hear in church (I did the 4-7 times I went) that you shouldn't judge others, love thy neighbor as thyself, etc., but what do we see when these same people walk out of those holy places? Exactly the opposite of that. They judge others for believing in something different from them, being homosexual, or looking different. I cannot comprehend it. You cannot judge someone for something just because you disagree. Who do people think they are to take the place in what their God has the final say? It's just something I find incredibly disturbing.
