Pearls to Pigs

Sometimes I get sucked into conversations on forums, especially when people slam God or churches.

I understand people hating God, church or religion in general, because they were burned at one time. I, myself, have been angry at God and left a church because they didn't treat me or other people as they should have.

What irritates me is those same angry people lump every Christian and every church into the same mould.

They are also the same people who yell at Christians not to judge their own bad behavior.

The worst and most frustrating part is no matter how much I try to point out their own preconceived notions, and to open their minds enough to see not everyone is the same, they in effect close their eyes, cover their ears and yell, "La, la, la, la, la, HYPOCRITE, la la la la, RACIST la la la la, HOMOPHOBE, la la la la la."

Jesus warned me against wasting my time like this in Matthew 7:6 (in part): "Don't throw your pearls to pigs! They will trample the pearls, then turn and attack you."
